Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Product Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This guide will assist you with the use, installation, and configuration of the MWR7300. Mesh Wireless Router Defined The Mesh Wireless Router (MWR) is a wireless device that is primarily deployed to seed and extend the range between IAPs and Subscriber Devices while simultaneously increasing the spectral efficiency of the network.
Chapter 1: Product Introduction MWRs Role within a MOTOMESH Wireless Network . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The MWR and the IAP are considered as fixed Infrastructure devices. Infrastructure devices provide area coverage access for Subscriber Devices (SDs) to the wired network. IAPs act as the principal network management interface for associated MWRs and SDs. MWRs provide standard 802.11 authentications and access to the Radius server.

Chapter 2 Chapter 2: MWR Device Installation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This chapter will provide hardware and software installation information for the MOTOMESH MWR7300 device. Software Requirements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There are two ways to install and setup the MWR7300 device: MeshManager or the MOTOMESH Device Administration web interface.
Chapter 2: MWR Device Installation For a MOTOMESH deployment, a permanent power source for each MWR must be provided. All infrastructure devices require professional installation to ensure that the installation is performed in accordance with FCC licensing regulations Infrastructure devices are fitted with two mounting brackets designed to be attached to light poles and other probable installation sites.

Chapter 2: MWR Device Installation MWR Device Deployment and Installation The MWR device requires professional installation to ensure that the installation is performed in accordance with FCC licensing regulations. All common precautions for grounding and electrostatic discharge protection should be observed during deployment and installation. Observe the following additional guidelines when deploying fixed Infrastructure devices (MWR and IAP): • The MWR may be mounted on a pole having a diameter of 1-3.
MOTOMESH 1.0 Mesh Wireless Router Users Guide The longitude, latitude, and altitude values should be entered to a precision of 5 digits following the decimal point. Device Connectivity Testing When a MiSC has been setup on the network, verify connectivity to the device using the following procedure: Procedure 2-2 Testing MWR Device Connectivity 1 Apply power to the device, the device should be operation in 60 to 120 seconds 2 Obtain the MEA and 802.
Chapter 3: Device Configuration Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Device Configuration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This chapter contains information which will assist you with accessing the MWR via local web interface and using the available configuration options. The web interface offers an incomplete alternative to configuring a MWR device when the network lacks a Network DHCP server.
MOTOMESH 1.0 Mesh Wireless Router Users Guide Administrator and User Account Information The device has two accounts for the web interface - an Administrative account (Super User), and a User account (Normal User). The Administrative account must be used for provisioning the device, and the User account may be used for monitoring the status of the device. The password for the admin account should be changed during installation.

After the login authentication has been completed, the web browser will display a redirecting page, and your browser will automatically transition to the home web page for MOTOMESH Device Administration.
MOTOMESH 1.0 Mesh Wireless Router Users Guide Viewing the Device Administration Home Page as a Normal User The Device Administration home page provides the Normal User (User Account) with some basic information about the device, including the IP addresses assigned to the device, the MAC addresses of the device and the firmware revision.
Chapter 3: Device Configuration Figure 3-3 MOTOMESH Device Administration Configuration Page The following sections describe the main section contents displayed in the Configuration tab of the device administration web interface. Device Settings Section Table 3-2 Device Settings Section (Configuration Tab) Field Name System Name RDATE Server IP Address Field Description Field Default Value This is the name of the device as shown by MeshManager Assigned by The IP address of the RDATE server.
MOTOMESH 1.0 Mesh Wireless Router Users Guide Field Name Field Description Field Default Value Statically Provisioned Operator (Statically provisioned). IP Address The IP address will be automatically provided by a DHCP server if one exists and the above field has been set to Network DHCP. If the setting has been set as Statically Provisioned, and not provided by the Network Operator, then it will be automatically hashed from the device’s MAC Address.
Chapter 3: Device Configuration The Network Operator can choose to keep the provided (derived IP address) or assign a fixed IP address and subnet mask. It is up to the Network Operator to ensure that the assigned address is routable on the core network (if core network access is needed) and that it does not conflict with other addresses in use. This is analogous to and carries the same caveats as plugging an Ethernet card into a LAN and manually assigning an address to the card.
MOTOMESH 1.0 Mesh Wireless Router Users Guide Field Name Field Description Field Default Value Group ID The specified Group ID is used for authentication control between local subscriber devices when communicating in peer-to-peer mode. Group Group Password The password used between local subscriber devices that belong to the same assigned group and share the same password.
