the Transmission Rate, the lesser the distance we were able to communicate. It was
found that the lowest setting of 1 Mbps achieved the best results.
The following diagrams illustrate several possible wireless networks.
Wireless diagram 2 – In this
diagram the G2 Server’s Ethernet
port is connected directly to the
WAP11’s Ethernet port using a
crossover cable. Each Maguire
Controller has a Wireless Serial
Server. The wireless signal is
boosted by a WAP11 in Repeater
Mode located between the G2
Server and the controllers. The
G2 communications are
transmitted via wireless from the
WAP11, repeated by the WAP11
in Repeater Mode, and then to
each Wireless Serial Server. The
Repeater may also be used to re-
establish communications in a
“dead spot” in the wireless
Wireless diagram 1 – This is the
most basic wireless layout. In this
diagram the G2 Server’s Ethernet
port is connected directly to a
WAP11’s Ethernet port using a
crossover cable (or sometimes
referred to as a station-to-station
cable). The WAP11 converts the
G2 Server’s Ethernet
communication to wireless. Each
Maguire Controller has a Wireless
Serial Server. The G2
communications are transmitted
wireless between the WAP11 and
each Wireless Serial Server.
