HBM offers a wireless solution for the eDAQXR system using the Sierra Wireless GX Series, MOXA AWK-4121 or ACKSYS WLg-xROAD devices.
The Sierra Wireless GX Series cellular gateway is capable of 4G LTE network connection. A wireless account and SIM card must be obtained from a wireless service provider. The gateway connects to the data processor through Ethernet ports, so the unit can be remotely controlled by a web-enabled computer through the cellular network.
Refer to Sierra Wireless documentation for setting up a SIM card from a 4G LTE service provider and gateway software.
The MOXA AWK-4121 is an industrial 802.11 ab/b/g IP68 Wireless AP/Bridge/Client. MOXA offers many antenna options to fit various applications, and comes standard with two omni-directional antennas (5/3 dBi, N-type male, 2.4/5 GHz).
Assign an IP address to the access point compatible with your network by following the setup instructions in access point documentation. The EXRCPU default IP address is 192.168.100.101.
To effectively use Power over Ethernet, bandwidth and security (to avoid broadcasting packets to other ports), set up the EX23-R to have two virtual local area networks (VLANs).
admin
and no password.This powers the access point by PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and allows use of virtual networks.
The ACKSYS WLg-xROAD access point is an industrial 802.11 a/b/g/h IP65 Wireless AP/Bridge/Repeater. The WLg-xROAD/N and WLg-xROAD/NP access points come with an antenna and two meters of cabling connected to the access point and terminating in an RJ45 Ethernet connector. Only the WLg-xROAD/NP access point can operate with Power over Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af).
The ACKSYS WLg-xROAD/N and ACKSYS WLg-xROAD/NP access points can be connected directly to the EXRCPU, but the access points require connection to a 9–50 VDC power source.
Assign an IP address to the access point compatible with your network by following the setup instructions in access point documentation. The EXRCPU default IP address is 192.168.100.101.
This powers the WLg-xROAD/NP access point by PoE and allows use of virtual networks. The ACKSYS WLg-xROAD/N cannot be powered by PoE.
