Chapter 1: System Overview
With the addition of each IAP additional network capacity is added.
When a MOTOMESH Duo device operates as a Mesh Wireless Router (MWR), its primary
function is to seed and extend the range between IAPs and wireless clients while
simultaneously increasing the spectral efficiency of the network.
Mesh Wireless Routers:
• Range extension for all other network devices.
• Support 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi client access.
• Support all 802.11 client security methods (open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 RADIUS,
WPA/WPA2 PSK).
• Support 15 Virtual Access Points per radio for client access.
• Support Dynamic Route Selection via the MeshConnex™ routing engine.
• Support Automatic Load Balancing.
• Support 128bit AES encrypted Secure Mesh inter-nodal links.
• Are equipped with two Ethernet interfaces one of which can source standards
based 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power external IP enabled devices
such a surveillance camera. This allows a network of IP-enabled devices to be
directly addressed, accessed and managed over the network.
• Offer fast and easy deployment via a pivot mounting bracket.
• Designed with a rugged NEMA 4 outdoor enclosure.
Supporting Networking Equipment Additional networking infrastructure is required to support a MotoMesh Duo network. This
includes an enterprise grade server to provide network services such as DHCP and DNS, as
well as host the MotoMesh Duo management software (One Point Wireless Manager™. A
RADIUS server may also be present. Switching and routing network equipment is also
required. Our small system reference design utilizes a single Layer 3 switch which provides
switching and routing within the same device.
