Setting up a wireless host device
HBM offers a wireless solution for the eDAQXR and eDAQXR-lite 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 main 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.
- Connect an antenna to the Sierra Wireless gateway.
- Refer to Sierra Wireless documentation for connecting the gateway to a power source.
- Connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU to a 8–36VDC power supply.
- Connect a 1-KAB2106-2 cable between the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU HOST port and the Ethernet port on the Sierra Wireless gateway.

- Set up your Sierra Wireless gateway as instructed by your service provider.
- In a web browser, navigate to the IP address provided by a wireless service provider to open the eDAQXR/eDAQXR-lite web interface.
- In some configurations you may need to change security settings in your browser to access the eDAQXR/eDAQXR-lite web interface. Please see the User Manual for more information.

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).

- Connect an antenna to the access point.
- Connect the AWK-4121 POWER connector to a 12–24 VDC power source. The unit ships with a field wire-able power plug. A one-meter power cable (CBL-M12(FF5P)/Open-100 IP67) is sold separately by MOXA.
- Connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU to a 8–36VDC power supply.
- Use a 1-KAB2106-X cable to connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU HOST port to the AWK4121 LAN port.

Assign an IP address to the access point compatible with your network by following the setup instructions in access point documentation. The EXRCPU/EXRLCPU 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).
- Connect a computer with an Ethernet card to a powered EX23-R using a 1-KAB2106-X cable.
- Set the computer to a unique IP address in subnet 192.0.2.XXX, with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
- Log in using the default username
admin
and no password. - In the menu, select Configuration>Private VLANs>PVLAN Membership.
- Click Add New Private VLAN.
- Set VLAN 1 to ports 1 and 10.
- Set VLAN 2 to ports 2 through 9.
- Click Save.
- Exit the web interface.
- Disconnect the computer from the EX23-R.
- Connect the EX23-R to the access point and the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU as shown in Connecting the access point for Power over Ethernet.

This powers the access point by PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and allows use of virtual networks.
- Use a 1-KAB2106-X cable to connect the AWK-4121 LAN port to EX23-R 10PoE port.
- Connect the EX23-R module and EXRCPU/EXRLCPU to a power supply.
- Install a cap (A-CAP-M12M-M, sold separately by MOXA) on the AWK-4121 POWER connector.
- Use a 1-KAB2107-X cable to connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU HOST port to EX23-R 1 port.
- Use a 1-KAB2107-X cable to connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU ETHERNET port to EX23-R 2 port.

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/EXRLCPU, but the access points require connection to a 9–50 VDC power source.
- Connect an antenna to the access point.
- Connect the wires of the WLg-xROAD power cord to a 9–50 VDC power source. Refer to ACKSYS documentation for more information.
- Connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU to a 8–36VDC power supply.
- Connect the access point RJ45 (Ethernet) connector to a 1-KAB2106-X cable using an RJ45 adapter (purchased separately) appropriately sealed for your application.
- Connect the 1-KAB2106-X cable to the HOST port on an EXRCPU/EXRLCPU.

Assign an IP address to the access point compatible with your network by following the setup instructions in access point documentation. The EXRCPU/EXRLCPU 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.
- Connect the access point's RJ45 connector to an RJ45 adapter (purchased separately) appropriately sealed for your application.
- Use a 1-KAB2106-X cable to connect the adapter to EX23-R 10PoE port.
- Install caps on the WLg-xROAD power wires.
- Connect the EX23-R module and EXRCPU/EXRLCPU to a power supply.
- Use a 1-KAB2107-X cable to connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU HOST port to EX23-R 1 port.
- Use a 1-KAB2107-X cable to connect the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU ETHERNET port to EX23-R 2 port.
