FLC910E User’s Guide
Requirements
Power
10-28VDC Power connector
48V POE standard through the Ethernet pairs (turn on @ 39.5VDC)
Current Draw Max 1200mA @ 12V (during transmit)
Ethernet Operation
RJ45 - 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connected device.
RF Operation
SMA antenna or coax connection.
Ethernet Configuration
A Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above
-OR
A TCP Secure Shell (SSH) client
Features
-Encryption support for WEP64, WEP128, WEP152, WPA-PSK (TKIP), and WPA2-PSK (AES)
-DCHP Client support for obtaining a dynamic network IP address from a DHCP server.
-SNMP support using management information base (MIB).
-Configurable mode of operation. Select between Base Station (Access Point), Station Adaptor,
Wireless Repeating, or Inter-building modes.
-Configurable mode of modualation. Select between OFDM or CCK modulation
-Offers 900MHz reliability. The lower frequency reduces line of sight issues, minimizes multi-path fading for plant
floor and outdoor transmissions, and offers longer range communications over 2.4GHz solutions.
-Capable of transmission rates up to 54Mbps.
-Configurable transmit power. Select between full, half, quarter, eighth, and minimum.
-VLAN support for up to 8 VLANs with multiple security settings per each.
Applications
The FLC910E units are can be configured for multiple operating modes. All the modes essentially are used to extend
the Ethernet network wirelessly to reduce the cost to add Ethernet to remote sites or create an Ethernet bridge between
networks.
Base Station & Station Adaptor Modes
The FLC910E can either act as a base station or a station adaptor. As the base station the FLC910E acts as the center
point for wireless communications, allowing FLC910E configured as station adaptors to connect and build a network. As a
station adaptor the FLC910E acts as a node to attach an Ethernet device or LAN segment thru a FLC910E base station.
Wireless Repeating Mode
The FLC910E can act as a base station and repeater to repeat the transmission to other units to increase the reliability
and extend the coverage area of the wireless network. This mode uses a half duplex operation mode to communicate
with another wireless repeater and wireless stations. All the units are configured the same with the addition of the MAC
address of units to communicate with, or automatic detection of the MAC address.
Wireless Interbuilding Mode
The FLC910E can act in an interbuilding mode and create an interconnected wireless network. In this mode there is no
central point of communications any unit connected wirelessly can communicate to any other unit in the system creating a
mesh network. All the units are configured the same using the same channel and mode.
