Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction Features Introduction • Backward compatibility with 802.
Introduction Introduction 802.11 Wireless Networking Virtual COM Mode IEEE 802.11 is a set of standards that defines how multiple devices can communicate on a wireless network. The standard has grown into a set of several standards that define various features and functions. The 802.11g standard defines the physical and data link layers for a wireless network using the 2.4 GHz frequency band, a band that does not require licensing. As a part of the IEEE family of standards, 802.
Introduction Introduction ESR90xW Startup Procedure IEEE 802.11g Setup and configuration of your Vlinx ESR90xW wireless serial server is fast, straightforward and simple. You have several options from which to choose. The following procedure outlines an easy way to get your server set up and operational. IEEE 802.11g standard specifies a WLAN that operates on the 2.4 GHz band at data rates up to 54 Mbps, but is backward compatible with the earlier 802.11b standard (which operates at up to 11 Mbps).

Vlinx ESR90xW Hardware Vlinx ESR90xW Hardware Connectors RS-485 Receiver Biasing Configuration Port Connector Vlinx ESR90xW wireless serial servers provide built-in receiver biasing on RS-485 ports (includes the 902W485 port, 902W Port 2 and 904W Ports 2 and 4). The Data(+) line is pulled up to 3.3V supply using a 4.7 kΩ resistor and the Data(-) line is pulled down to ground, also using a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
Vlinx ESR90xW Hardware Vlinx ESR90xW Hardware For wireless configuration, or for typical infrastructure mode operation, the Vlinx ESR90xW communicates with a wireless access point, which is connected to a PC via a wired network. Figure 7. Connection via the Wireless LAN Other Hardware Connections Serial tunneling can occur between two ESR90xW serial servers communicating with individual access points and across a wired network. Figure 8.
Web Console Chapter 4: Web Console You can change the Device Name of the serial server by typing in a different name Device Configuration via Web Console The Web Console can be used to configure your Vlinx ESR90xW Wireless Serial Server from any web browser software (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Netscape). Server properties can be set up using six browser pages: Main, Serial, Network, Wireless, User and Status.

Device Communication Ports Device Communication Ports Polling Strings Chapter 5: Adjusting the Behavior of Device Communication Ports There is a significant difference between serial and Ethernet data communications. Data that comes in through the Ethernet is presented to the device in the form of very distinct packets.
