Understanding Functions
The various technologies and features used by your Wireless
Ethernet Bridge require some conceptual explanation so that you can
make the correct choices when configuring your unit.
Wireless Ethernet Bridge Connectivity
Your unit wirelessly connects:
! Networks or units to a network, Or
! By configuring multiple clients such as laptops, each using their
own Wireless Ethernet Bridge, are you able to create your own
private wireless Ad-Hoc network
The mechanics behind the connectivity are explained in the following
subsections.
SECTION 1, OVERVIEW 1-3
SECTION 1 OVERVIEW
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) comprises
the backbone of the Internet. IP moves packets of data between
nodes while TCP verifies delivery from client to server. Every device
you hook up to your wireless router identifies itself with an IP
address. You are able to assign devices on your network with either
a static or dynamically assigned IP address.
Static IP Address
A static IP address is a fixed address that is assigned manually to a
device on the network. Static IP addresses must be unique and
cannot be shared, therefore they are used in situations where the
address should never change, like print servers or PC servers.
Dynamic IP Address
A dynamic IP address is a temporary IP address, dynamically or
randomly generated by a DHCP server. The address lasts only as
long as the server specifies, usually in the space of a day or two.
When the IP address expires, the client is automatically reassigned a
new IP address, ensuring smooth communication.
Understanding Wireless
Your Wireless Ethernet Bridge uses a radio transmission technology
defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
called 802.11 or Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity). This 802.11 standard is
subdivided into distinct categories of speed and the frequency
spectrum used, designated by the lower case letter after the
standard.
For example, your Wireless Ethernet Bridge supports both the ‘b’ and
‘g’ specifications. The 802.11b standard specifies transmission rates
up to 11 Mbps while the 802.11g standard specifies transmission
rates up to 54 Mbps. The radio waves radiate out in a donut-shaped
pattern. The waves travel through walls and floors, but transmission
power and distance are affected. The theoretical distance limit is
1,000 feet (305 meters), but actual throughput and distance varies.
Both the 802.11b and 802.11g standards operate in the 2.4 GHz
range, meaning other electrical appliances also might interfere with
the Wireless Ethernet Bridge – televisions, radios, microwave ovens,
and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones. Therefore, positioning your
Wireless Ethernet Bridge where it encounters the least interference
gains the greatest benefit to maintaining a quality connection.
1-4 SECTION 1, OVERVIEW
OVERVIEWSECTION 1
Wireless Range
The following describes different scenarios for the expected range of
the coverage area of the unit. This table is only a guide and coverage
varies due to local conditions.
Data Rate Open Area Closed Area
54 Mbps Up to 100 ft (30m) Up to 60 ft (18m)
11 Mbps Up to 900 feet (275 m) Up to 160 feet (49 m)
5.5 Mbps Up to 1300 feet (396 m) Up to 200 feet (61 m)
2 or 1 Mbps Up to 1500 feet (457 m) Up to 300 feet (91 m)
Recommended Wireless Environment
The following information helps you to achieve the best wireless
performance:
! Placing your Wireless Ethernet Bridge in the physical center of
your network is the premium location because the antenna
radiates out the signal in all directions.
! Placing the unit in a higher location, such as atop a cabinet, helps
to disperse the signal cleanly, especially to receiving locations on
upper stories.
! Direct line of sight achieves better performance, but obviously is
not always achievable.
! Try to avoid placing the unit next to large solid objects like
computer cases, monitors, walls, fireplaces, etc. This helps the
signal penetrate more cleanly.
! Other wireless devices like televisions, radios, microwaves and
2.4 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the signal. Keep
devices away from the unit.
SECTION 1, OVERVIEW 1-5
SECTION 1 OVERVIEW
Type of Networks
Your Wireless Ethernet Bridge supports several different usage
scenarios and the following examples illustrate the flexibility of your
WE800G. Some scenarios require additional hardware.
Wireless Ethernet Bridge Infrastructure Mode
In this mode, the WE800G functions like a bridge, connecting wired
Ethernet clients to a wireless network. This is the most likely scenario
you will use, because it shares an Internet connection with your
laptop or other wireless client.
1-6 SECTION 1, OVERVIEW
OVERVIEWSECTION 1
Wireless Ethernet Bridge Ad-Hoc Mode
This mode is very similar to the Wireless Ethernet Bridge
Infrastructure mode, except the WE800G will connect to other client
devices using Ad-Hoc mode. One inherent limitation of operating in
this mode is that all client devices must be in wireless range of each
other, as opposed to a network with an Access Point, where all
wireless devices must be in range of the Access Point.
SECTION 1, OVERVIEW 1-7
SECTION 1 OVERVIEW
Multiple Clients Mode
In this mode, the WE800G connects multiple clients to your network
wirelessly.

Section 2:Installation
To get your network up and running:
1 Setup your hardware.
CAUTION!
2 Insert the CD-ROM for Software Setup. Follow the prompts.
If you prefer to setup the Wireless Ethernet Bridge software
manually, refer to the Manual Software Setup found in this section.
The following sections provide detailed instructions for completing
these tasks.
Hardware Setup
Hardware setup includes:
! Antenna Installation: connecting the antenna to the unit.
Use only the Motorola supplied WE800G power adapter.
! Physical Installation: where you physically place your unit.
! Electrical Connection: how to power your unit.
Antenna Installation
When shipped, the antenna is already installed on the main unit. If,
for some reason, you have to detach and than re-attach the antenna
to the main unit:
1 Take the bottom of the antenna and locate, on the right backside
of the Wireless Ethernet Bridge, the threaded knob.
2 Screw the antenna connector (counter-clockwise to remove,
clockwise to attach) on to the threaded knob until firmly seated.
When attaching, do not over-tighten.
SECTION 2, INSTALLATION 2-1
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
Wireless Ethernet Bridge Physical Installation
You can install the Wireless Ethernet Bridge in different physical
orientations – horizontally, vertically, or hung on the wall. Your own
needs determine the best placement.
Horizontal Installation
To install the Wireless Ethernet Bridge horizontally, as shown in the
illustration below:
1 Place the Wireless Ethernet Bridge in the desired location.
2 Follow the procedures in “Electrical Connection to Wireless
Ethernet Bridge” located later in this section to connect the unit.
2-2 SECTION 2, INSTALLATION
INSTALLATIONSECTION 2
Vertical Installation
To install the Wireless Ethernet Bridge vertically, as shown in the
illustration below:
1 Insert the Wireless Ethernet Bridge into the supplied base.
Ensure that the antenna’s location is on top, because the antenna
prevents the unit from fitting into the base. The Wireless Ethernet
Bridge’s foot slides snugly into the base to keep the unit stable.
2 Follow the procedures in “Electrical Connection to Wireless
Ethernet Bridge” located later in this section to connect the unit.
Wall Mount Installation
To mount the Wireless Ethernet Bridge on the wall, you must:
! Locate the unit as specified by the local or national codes
governing residential or business communications services.
! Follow all local standards for installing a network interface
unit/network interface device (NIU/NID).
SECTION 2, INSTALLATION 2-3
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
If possible, mount the Wireless Ethernet Bridge to concrete,
masonry, a wooden stud, or other solid wall material. Use
anchors if necessary; for example if you must mount the unit on
drywall. Mounting the unit on the wall may decrease performance.
To mount your Wireless Ethernet Bridge on the wall:
1 Print the Wall Mounting Template.

WARNING!
Before drilling holes, check the structure for potential
damage to water, gas, or electric lines.
7 Drill the holes to a depth of at least 3.8 cm (1½ inches).
8 If necessary, seat an anchor in each hole. Use M5 x 38 mm
(#10-16 x 1½ inch) screws with a flat underside and maximum
screw head diameter of 10.5 mm to mount the unit.
9 Using a screwdriver, turn each screw until part of it protrudes
from the wall, as shown:
! There must be 4.0 mm (.16 inches) between the wall and the
underside of the screw head.
! The maximum distance from the wall to the top of the screw
head is 7.6 mm (.3 in).
