Ad Hoc WiBox Connection
Figure 2-4. Direct WiBox to WiBox Connection
In the example above, two WiBoxes have established an Ad Hoc peer-to-peer
relationship. They communicate directly to each other’s serial devices without a PC
or an AP.
WiBox with Ethernet
With this model, you can select either a wireless or an Ethernet connection.
Protocol Support
The WiBox device server uses the TCP/IP protocol stack for network
communications. Other supported protocols include:
ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for
network communications and management.
TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.
TFTP for firmware and web page updates.
IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which
devices interact with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point
connection.
Configuration Methods
After the physical installation of the WiBox, configuration is required. For the unit to
operate correctly on a network, it must have:
A unique IP address
Appropriate settings for network communications
Methods for logging into the device server and assigning IP addresses (as well as
setting other configurable parameters) include:
Web-Manager
: Through a web interface, configure the WiBox and its settings using
the WiBox’s Web-Manager. (See
Serial & Telnet Ports
: There are two approaches to accessing Setup Mode. Make a
Telnet connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a
terminal emulation program) to the unit’s serial port. (See
)
