HBM offers a wireless solution for the SomatXR 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 CX23-R through Ethernet ports, so the CX23-R 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 CX23-R 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 CX23-R, 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 CX23-R 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.
