1.0 Introduction
The NetWave® industrially hardened wireless Ethernet transmission link from ComNet can be
configured through the embedded User Interface as a Client or as an Access Point. This point-to-
multipoint model allows multiple Ethernet endpoints to be connected to a central Access Point.
Up to 15 endpoints can be linked to a central access point. The NW1/M and NW2/M support up to
95Mbps throughput using MIMO technology. An easy to read LED array displays unit operational
status along with received signal strength ensuring optimal installation and operation. The units
can be powered by an IEEE 802.3af PoE compliant switch or through the supplied power injection
module. The NW1/M is FCC certified and the NW2/M is ETSI, DFS and TPC certified.
This user manual is a guide for the NetWave NW(1,2)/M wireless Ethernet device as well as
the NWK(,2)/M preconfigured kits. ComNet NetWave Wireless offers OpenWRT with the most
advanced Qualcomm Atheros 10.1.x wireless drivers. NetWave now includes a new user-friendly
LuCI web interface for configuring the device. OpenWRT is an extensible GNU/Linux distribution
for embedded devices. It is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable
operating system. It is powered by a Linux kernel that's more recent than most other distributions.
LuCI is a free, clean, extensible and easily maintainable web user interface for embedded devices.
It has high performance, small installation size, fast runtimes, and good maintainability. The units
come configured for either point to point or point to multipoint applications.
