Infrastructure Devices
The MOTOMESH DUO 4300 device is configured to operate as an Intelligent Access Point (IAP)
from the factory. The device is capable of being configured to operate as either an IAP or a MWR
(Mesh Wireless Router). The selection of an IAP or MWR configuration will be determined by the
customer’s wireless network needs at the time of purchase.
When the MOTOMESH Duo 4300 device is configured to operate as an IAP, it acts as the transition
point from the wireless network to the wired core network and from there, through media gateways,
out to the Internet. When the MOTOMESH Duo 4300 device is configured to operate as a MWR, it
behaves as a wireless device that is primarily deployed to seed and extend the range between IAPs and
Wireless Clients while simultaneously increasing the spectral efficiency of the network. While running
as a MWR device, the device’s Ethernet connector can be utilized to connect to another IP-enabled
device. This allows a network of IP-enabled devices (such as a camera) to be directly addressed,
accessed and managed over the MOTOMESH network.
IAP functionality includes:
• Transition Point between the wired and wireless network
• Dynamic Route Selection
MWR functionality includes:
• Dynamic Route Selection
• Range Extension for all other network devices

MOTOMESH Wireless Network. Infrastructure devices provide area coverage access for wireless
clients to the wired network.
