Product Introduction
Infrastructure Devices
The MOTOMESH DUO 4300 device is configured to operate as an Intelligent Access Point (IAP)
from the factory. The device is capable of being configured to operate as either an IAP or a MWR
(Mesh Wireless Router). The selection of an IAP or MWR configuration will be determined by the
customer’s wireless network needs at the time of purchase.
When the MOTOMESH Duo 4300 device is configured to operate as an IAP, it acts as the transition
point from the wireless network to the wired core network and from there, through media gateways,
out to the Internet. When the MOTOMESH Duo 4300 device is configured to operate as a MWR, it
behaves as a wireless device that is primarily deployed to seed and extend the range between IAPs and
Wireless Clients while simultaneously increasing the spectral efficiency of the network. While running
as a MWR device, the device’s Ethernet connector can be utilized to connect to another IP-enabled
device. This allows a network of IP-enabled devices (such as a camera) to be directly addressed,
accessed and managed over the MOTOMESH network.
IAP functionality includes:
• Transition Point between the wired and wireless network
• Dynamic Route Selection
MWR functionality includes:
• Dynamic Route Selection
• Range Extension for all other network devices

A MOTOMESH Duo 4300 device is considered a fixed Infrastructure device that can be configured
to operate as either an IAP (Intelligent Access Point) or a MWR (Mesh Wireless Router) within the
MOTOMESH Wireless Network. Infrastructure devices provide area coverage access for wireless
clients to the wired network.

Installation
.............................................
.
.
This chapter will provide hardware and software installation information for the MOTOMESH DUO
4300 Infrastructure Device.
Software Requirements
.............................................
.
.
The MOTOMESH DUO 4300 infrastructure devices can be setup and configured using the
MeshManager Element Management System (EMS) or the Web Interface utility.
MeshManager EMS
MeshManager EMS is used for device setup, configuration, and management of MOTOMESH
infrastructure devices. Prior to using the MeshManager software for device installation and
configuration, ensure that it is installed and running on a network computer. MeshManager will be
used during the device setup process to validate the installation of the device(s) as well as manage,
within the wireless network.
Detailed information about the MeshManager application is found in the MeshManager Users Guide.
If you are using MeshManager to manage your network, there are some additional
guidelines to be observed when using the Web Interface.
1.When using the following MeshManager elements:
• VAP Manager
• VLAN Manager
July 2007
• Security Manager
2-1
Chapter 2: Infrastructure Device Installation
DO NOT use the Web Interface to manage VAP, VLAN, or Security
configurations.
2. If a device has already been added to the network using MeshManager, DO NOT
use the Web Interface to change the device type from an IAP to an MWR or from
an MWR to an IAP.
3. If you use the Web Interface to restore the factory defaults for the device, you
must first delete the device and add it again using MeshManager so that the device
type will be properly identified in the database.
Web Interface Utility
Initial configuration and management of MOTOMESH infrastructure devices can also carried out
using the Web Interface utility. The Web Interface application is designed to support the setup and
configuration of smaller MOTOMESH networks. It can be used as an alternative to the MeshManager
during the initial setup and configuration of MOTOMESH infrastructure devices. The application uses
standard elements of a Web-based interface to allow the user to configure the basic parameters of
seven primary network management elements required to successfully deploy a MOTOMESH network
using the navigation menu displayed on each page.
Detailed information about the Web Interface utility can be found in the Web Interface Users Guide.
Hardware Installation Notes
.............................................
.
.
For a MOTOMESH deployment, a permanent power source for each MOTOMESH Duo 4300 device
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 a single pivot mounting bracket designed to be attached to light
poles and other probable installation sites. Alternate mounting hardware is available for mounting
directly to posts or structures that are too large for the standard bracket. Optional remote antenna
mount hardware is also available for use with the alternate mounting hardware.
