700 SERIES

THE INDUSTRIAL NETWORK COMPANY

The N-TRON® 702-W Industrial Wireless Radio provides outstanding performance
and extreme reliability under the harshest industrial conditions. It is ideally suited
for connecting wireless devices to a wired network or for connecting two wired
networks where it is not possible, practical, or cost-effective to install cable.

The 702-W provides three antennas to facilitate Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO)
technology for increased throughput. Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability enables
the unit to receive power through a Cat5e cable from a PoE sourcing device, such
as N-Tron's 105TX-POE Switch or 100-PoE4 Midspan Injector. This ability makes
deployments of network nodes much easier as a single Cat5e cable is all that is
needed to carry both power and data.

APPLICATIONS

The 702-W provides a reliable wireless connection that can be quickly and
easily deployed at a fraction of the cost of hardwired installations. It is also ideal
for network communications between mobile devices such as forklifts, heavy
equipment, laptop computers, and other devices that are impractical or impossible
to connect with copper or fi ber cable.

Industrial Packaging and Specifi cations

The 702-W is specifi cally designed to operate in industrial environments. With its
rugged enclosure and industrial specifi cations—including redundant power inputs
and expanded tolerance to shock, vibration, electrical noise and temperature
fl uctuations—the 702-W easily meets and exceeds the operating parameters of
connected equipment.

Multiple Wireless Modes

The 702-W provides a number of confi guration options that allow customization to
suit specifi c applications.

Station: In "station" confi guration, the 702-W is used to connect a single device

(MAC Address) to a wireless access point.

Station, WDS (Wireless Distribution System): In "station, WDS" mode,

the 702-W can be connected to a remote wired switch, allowing multiple devices
(MAC Address forwarding) to be connected to the wireless access point when
WDS is activated.

Access Point: In "access point" mode, the 702-W serves as a wireless switch for

attached wireless stations. Wireless access points are commonly used to create
one wireless local area network (WLAN) that spans an area around the access
point. Each access point typically supports up to 253 stations.

Access Point, WDS (Wireless Distribution System): In "access point, WDS"

mode, the 702-W provides wireless connections to a number of access points,
expanding the coverage of the wireless network. In this confi guration, the main
base access point is extended using a series of relay access points in WDS mode
(Extended Service Set) and, in turn, can form a WLAN consisting of thousands
of stations. All stations should be confi gured in "station WDS" mode. Correctly
confi gured switches using WDS will create a single network, providing station
mobility throughout the wireless network.

Multiple Network Modes

Bridge: The 702-W will operate in Layer 2 without network segmentation.
Router: The 702-W offers Layer 3 routing to allow network segmentation.

702-W

Scenario 1 – Basic Bridge

Access Point:

The "access point" mode allows the
702-W to serve as a wireless switch
for the wireless stations attached to it.
Wireless access points are commonly
used to create one wireless local
area network (WLAN) that spans an
area around the access point. Each
access point typically supports up to
253 stations.

For added security, the 702-W supports WEP, WPA™, and WPA2™. WPA and WPA2, TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and CCMP (counter mode with Cipher Block
Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) are available.

Station:

In "station" confi guration, the 702-W is
used to connect a single device (MAC
address) to a wireless access point.

Scenario 2 – Control Network

In station WDS mode, the 702-W can be connected to a remote wired Ethernet switch with multiple devices connected to the switch.
