Chapter One INTRODUCTION
The 805U-E Wireless Ethernet module provides wireless connections between Ethernet devices or
Ethernet wired networks (LAN’s). It has an internal 869 MHz wireless transceiver, which can
be used without a radio license in Europe and South Africa. The 805U-E transmits RF power of
500mW, requiring the transmit duty-factor be limited to 10%.
The 805U-E has a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection which will operate at up to 100Mbit/sec.
The module will transmit the Ethernet messages on the wireless band at up to 76 Kbit/sec.
1.1 Network Topology
The 805U-E is an Ethernet device, and must be configured as part of an Ethernet network. Each
805U-E must be configured as:
an “Access Point” or a “Client”, and
a “Bridge” or a “Router”.
You can also connect to the 805U-E via a RS232 or
RS485 serial port using PPP (point-to-point) protocol.
PPP allows the 805U-E to connect serial
communications into the Ethernet network.
Access Point vs Client
The Access Point unit acts as the “wireless
master” unit. The Access Point sets up the
wireless links to the Client units, and controls
the wireless communications. The first diagram
shows two Ethernet devices being linked. One
805U-E is configured as an Access Point and
one as a Client - in this example it doesn’t mater which unit is the Access Point.
The second diagram shows an existing LAN being extended using 805U-E’s. In this example, the
Access Point should be configured at the LAN
end - although the wireless link will still work
if the Client is at the LAN end.
An Access Point can connect to multiple
Clients. In this case, the Access Point should
be the “central” unit.
