GRAVIMETRIC GATEWAY AND ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS

Wireless Repeater (WAP11)

This setup guide will follow the WAP11’s Quick Installation Guide, packaged

with the WAP11 with the addition of specifying the recommended settings

for configuring the WAP11 for wireless G2 communications as a Repeater.

How the WAP11 is used in the G2 network:

• The WAP11 in Repeater Mode serves as a repeater to another wireless device such as

an Access Point (WAP11). It can be located in the center of the wireless network or

strategically placed to extend a wireless signal to a dead zone in your wireless network.

The WAP-11 in Repeater Mode does not require it to be connected to anything other

than a power source.

• Location of a Repeater should be within range of the device it will repeat.

What you will need to know to configure this device:

• IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the WAP11 Repeater

• SSID – Network name used on for your wireless bridge (must be the same on

all wireless devices)

• Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP passphrase or key (128-bit recommended)

• When used in Repeater Mode, you will need the hardware address or MAC

address of the device it will repeat. In most cases it will be another WAP11

Wireless Access Point. The MAC address can be found usually on the bottom

of the unit itself or can be found in the web browser accessible configuration

on the Status configuration screen and labeled MAC address.

Configuration:

STEP 1 – Connecting the Wireless-B Access Point

Configuring the Wireless Access Point requires that it be connected directly to the wired

network into a hub or switch using the included Ethernet network cable. You may also

connect it directly to the G2 Server ONLY if you use a crossover type cable (sometimes

referred to as a station-to-station cable). Crossover diagram is included at the end of this

document. Later, after configuration, it can be disconnected from the network and placed

in the location where it is needed. Antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and

the Repeater should be placed high above the ground for better performance.
