Wireless Test Results for G2 Communications
Two test blender controllers were configured with the wireless equipment so that they could be
moved to different test locations at the same time. Test blender 1 used the G2-ES/WET11 combo;
test blender 2 used the GW21W-MAXI wireless serial server. Both test blenders communicated
with the same WAP11 (wireless access point) and the same G2 Server computer.
Description of Test Blender 1:
The G2 Server PC’s Ethernet is connected directly to the WAP11. G2 communications are
transmitted via wireless between the WAP11 and the WET11. The WET11’s wired Ethernet
port is connected to an Ethernet to Serial converter (G2-ES), which is then connected to the
Maguire controller.
Devices used with test Blender 1:
1. Computer running the G2 Software (standalone PC)
2. 1 WAP11 Wireless Access Point (Linksys)
3. 1 WET11 and 1 G2-ES combination (wireless bridge and Ethernet to Serial converter)
4. 1 Maguire Controller
Description of Test Blender 2:
The G2 Server PC’s Ethernet is connected directly to the WAP11. G2 communications are
transmitted via wireless between the WAP11 and the Wireless Serial Server. The wireless
serial server’s COM port is connected to the Maguire controller.
Devices used with test Blender 2:
1. Computer running the G2 Software (standalone PC)
2. 1 WAP11 Wireless Access Point (Linksys)
3. GW21W-MAXI (Wireless Serial Server)
4. 1 Maguire Controller
Wireless configuration information for this test:
! Antennas - Stock 5.5 dBs antennas on WAP11, WET11, GW21W-MAXI.
! Transmission Rate - Default settings for Advance Wireless Setting both WAP11 and
WET11, 1-2-5.5-11(Mbps) (automatic detection, adjustment of transmission rate, uses
highest rates possible) During tests, transmission rate reduced for comparison, which
in all cases achieved a better signal.
! 128-bit Encryption enabled, SSID enabled, SSID broadcast disabled.
! Default settings for Beacon Interval, RTS Threshold, Fragmentation Threshold,
DTIM Interval, and Preamble Type.
