PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DataMover ESS-II and ESS transceivers are designed to provide

wireless local area network (LAN) service with plug-and-play hard-

ware. The transceivers come in two primary models—Access Point

and Remote.

Three types of Remote Gateways are available—the Ethernet Bridge,

theSerialGateway,andtheDualGatewaysupporting bothIP/Ethernet

and serial services. Table 1 summaries the different interface abilities

for each type of radio.

A transceiver can be configured by the owner to operate as an Access

Point or as a Remote with some restrictions. Only the Dual Gateway

Remote units can be reconfigured as an Access Point. Ethernet Bridge

and a Serial Gateway Remotes cannot be reconfigured as Access Point

unless they are first upgraded to Dual Gateway type. This is accom-

plished with an “Authorization Key” purchased from the factory.Each

one of these individual software keys is associated with the serial

number of the corresponding unit.

Transceivers serve as either an “Access Point” or “Remote.” An

Access Point (AP) is a wireless hub that usually provides connectivity

intoawired EthernetLAN/WAN.Fromaradio perspective, an Access

Point serves as the network’s “master station” providing synchroniza-

tion data to all associated Remotes (RMT) within its network.

Differences Between ESS and ESS-II

The ESS and ESS-II Transceivers, while similar in many respects, do

have some important differences. The main differences are summa-

rized in Table 2:

Table 2. Transceiver Differences (ESS vs. ESS-II)

NOTE: The DataMover ESS and DataMover ESS-II transceivers are

not over-the-air compatible.

SIMREX CYBER SECURITY SUITE

The operation and management of an enterprise is becoming

increasing dependent on electronic information flow. An accompa-

nying concern is the cyber security of the communication infrastruc-

ture and the security of the data itself.

The transceiver is capable of dealing with many common security

issues. Table 3 profiles security risks and how the transceiver provides

a solution for minimizing vulnerability. In all cases, the Security Con-

figuration Menu should be reviewed and set to the required parameters

for your environment. Please refer to the User’s Guide

(MAN.ESS-MAN) for complete information.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

This section provides tips for installation and start-up of the equip-

ment.

General Requirements

There are three main requirements for installing the transceiver—ade-

quate and stable primary power, a good antenna system, and the cor-

rect interface between the transceiver and the data device. The

Installation Reference Chart (center of this guide) shows a typical

Remote installation. Access Point stations typically use omnidirec-

tional antennas whereas Remotes typically use directional antennas

such as a Yagi. Otherwise, the installations are similar.

INSTALLATION STEPS

A typical product shipment consists of a transceiver, a power con-

nector and this start-up guide.

Below are the basic steps for installing a transceiver. Should further

information be needed, see “TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE” on Page

20 of this manual for information on contacting the SIMREX Tech-

nical Services Group. You will also find support information at the

SIMREX Corporation Web site: www.simrex.com.

It is highly recommended that the Access Point unit be installed first.

With this plan, you can quickly check the operation of each associated

Remote as it is placed on the air.

NOTE: Transceivers are shipped from the factory set to the “Remote”

mode unless they are marked differently.

Step 1—Mount the Transceiver

Mount the radio to a stable surface. (Fasteners/anchors or screws are

not normally supplied.) Four threaded holes are located on the bottom

of the radio that are suitable for connecting mounting hardware. Use

6-32 x 1/4 inch (6 mm) screws to attach mounting hardware to the

bottom of the radio. Figure 1 shows the mounting dimensions.

Invisible place holder

Figure 1. Transceiver mounting dimensions

Screws used to hold the mounting brackets to the radio

case should be SAE 6-32 and should not extend farther

than 1/4 inch (6 mm) into case. This will prevent damage

to the transceiver’s internal PC board.

Step 2—Install the Antenna

To minimize radio frequency interference, the antenna should be

mounted at least nine inches (> 23 cm) from the connected device(s),

sensors and other components of the system. Additional information

on antenna selection and installation is provided in the DataMover

ESS Series User’s Guide.

Step 3—Measure & Connect Primary Power

The primary power at the transceiver’s power connector must be

within 10.5–30 Vdc and be capable of continuously providing up to

580 mA. A power connector with screw-terminals is provided with

each unit. Strip the wire leads to 6 mm (0.25"). Be sure to observe

proper polarity as shown in Figure 1 with the positive lead (+) on the

left. If the transceiver is to be powered at voltages of 28 Vdc or higher,

please review the User’s Guide for important recommendations.

Figure 2. Power Connector

Polarity: Left +, Right –

The transceiver must be used only with negative-ground

systems. Make sure the polarity of the power source is

correct. Review complete power requirements in the

User’s Guide, Part No. MAN.ESS-MAN.

The power supply used with the transceiver should be equipped with

overload protection (NEC Class 2 rating), to protect against a short cir-

cuit between its output terminals and the transceiver power connector.

NOTE: It typically takesabout 30 seconds forthe transceiver to power

up, and about 20 to associate with another unit.

Step 4—Review the Transceiver’s Configuration

Two essential settings for the transceiver should be known before

placing the unit into service. They are:

Wire Ports
