Hardware

Overview

Thank you for your purchase of the Product Name.

The Product Name replaces costly wiring with a solution that can wirelessly connect industrial PLCs,

digital signs, security cameras, access controllers and more. With a range of up to 15 miles, the

ability to transmit through as many as 10 standard walls, a 1.5 Mb/s data rate, and the added range

and capabilities of the 900 MHz band, the easy-to-use, long-range XPress Wireless Ethernet Bridge

communicates where Wi-Fi and other wireless data products fall short.

If you have purchased a single Product Name, you will receive the following:

One XPress Ethernet Bridge RF Modem (-W = international variant)

One 2.1 dBi weatherproof dipole antenna

One 12 VDC power supply

One Power over Ethernet (POE) injector

If you have purchased a pair of Product Names, you will receive two of each item. Additional

configuration is typically not required when XEBs are operated as a pair.

This document contains information on the Product Name functionality only. If you have purchased

an Product Name with XPress Crypto Module, refer to the User Manual Supplement for XPress

Crypto Module with FIPS 140-2 Security for more information.

Specifications Summary

XPress Wireless Ethernet Bridge User Guide 6

Specifications

Summary

The Product Nameallows the user to create a long-range, wireless Ethernet network with up to 16

active (63 total) subscriber units per access point.

Configuring a wireless link with the XEB requires the establishment of six elements:

Each radio must know whether it is to be an access point (AP) or subscriber unit (SU)

Each radio must have an IP address that is unique among all others on the same network

The AP must know how many SUs are expecting communication with it

The AP and any given SU must agree on which radio frequency channel they are using. This can

be set manually or allowed to change automatically.

The SU must be assigned a unique subscriber ID to specify which time division slot it will use

when communication with the AP

The AP and any given SU must share a common 128-bit encryption key

The access point (AP) automatically scans for the best of the 12 available radio frequency channels,

encrypts Ethernet data received from the network, and transmits it wirelessly to the correct

subscriber unit (SU). The AP is constantly monitoring the radio link and can automatically change the

channel if performance is degraded due to interference. If two AP units are very close to one another,

they may interfere if operating on adjacent frequency channels. Place them at least 10 feet apart or

manually select non-adjacent channels for their operation. Also, the SU should be placed at least 10

feet from the AP to avoid overloading the radio’s receiver.

Any 10/100 BaseT Ethernet client device (ECD) can be connected to an XPress subscriber unit. Each

SU encrypts Ethernet traffic received from the attached ECD and transmits the data wirelessly to its

AP.Each SU can be plugged directly into an ECD without adding drivers or loading software.

Essentially, once the AP/SU pair is configured and running, it behaves like a continuous Ethernet

cable.

Setup and initialization

Setup

1Consult IT - Each XPress radio comes default with a static IP address of 192.168.17.17. We

recommend connecting each radio to a standalone computer disconnected from any shared

network, and consulting with your IT department before connecting them to any shared

network.

2Install hardware - If the device is to be used outdoors, mount it vertically with the antenna facing

up. This orientation will mitigate any environmental effects and allow drainage. Attach the

antenna to the XPress radio. Antenna installation is required to maintain device sealing. Attach

the Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over) between the XPress radio and the “DATA + PWR” jack

on the PoE injector. In order to maintain the seal around the Ethernet cable, the Ethernet gland

cap should be firmly tightened.

3Configure the radios - Use either the Digital Setup method as shown below, or use the DIP switch

method; see page 3 of the XPress Ethernet Bridge Multipoint: User Guide (part number 90000888)

manual at www.digi.com:

ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/90000888_B.pdf

Note XEB09-CIPA(-W) radios come pre-configured as a paired set. No configuration is required.

Digital setup

1Perform the digital configuration using the XPress built-in browser interface. It should be

powered on and connected at least temporarily to a network containing a computer that can run

a conventional web browser.

2Download the Digi IP Discovery Utility from our website at:

http://ftp1.digi.com/support/utilities/changer_digi.zip

Note This utility only runs on Windows, not Linux or Mac. If you must use a non-Windows

computer for configuration, make sure your subnet mask allows your computer to see

192.168.17.17. Connect to that default IP address with your web browser, continuing the

setup procedure with step 6.

3Unzip and run the IP Discovery Utility (changer_DIGI.exe) and a window appears that is similar to

this:

Setup and initialization Digital setup

XPress Wireless Ethernet Bridge User Guide 10

4The XPress should appear in the list at the default IP address of 192.168.17.17. If it does not, click

Search to regenerate the list. If it still does not appear, you have a connection issue and need to

re-examine the cabling or you may have a firewall issue on your computer.

5Double-click the list item that refers to the XPress being configured. A window appears that is

similar to the following picture:

6This information is the current status of the radio, while the boxes on the right allow you to

change it. It is important that the IP address of the XPress is in the same subnet as your

computer. For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (a class C network), the first three

number groups of the IP address must match. Choose your desired parameters and click Apply.
