Warnings / FCC

The FLC910E provides several wireless security options that can help make a safe and easy to setup wireless

network. Some security precautions to help make the wireless network safe are as follows:

Change the default SSID

Disable the SSID Broadcast

Change the default password

Enable MAC address ltering

Use the highest encryption type available (This may reduce the network performance).

Change the SSID and the encryption keys periodically

(See Appendix B in the VBS section for the details on changing the Security options)..

Introduction

Data-Linc Group (DLG) has prepared this user guide for use by customers as a guide to the proper installation, operation,

and maintenance of a FastLinc FLC910E wireless system.

The FLC910E is a member of the FastLinc Industrial Ethernet Wireless Modem Family that provides high speed, secure

wireless communications using 900MHz direct sequence and OFDM technology in a standalone form. They provide long

robust outdoor range and broader indoor coverage.

The FLC910E is an easy to congure and use wireless LAN solution. The unit can be congured using a web browser, a

SSH client connection and command-line interface (CLI) commands, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

The FLC910E integrates into industrial plant and wireless networks with exibility and options required by networking

professionals.

The FLC910E includes Base Station (Access Point), Station Adaptor, Wireless Repeating (WDS), and Wireless

Inter-building modes for creating wireless plant networks, adding Ethernet devices to the plant network using the wireless

network, linking remote plant networks, or extending the network and coverage of the wireless network with the use of

repeating.

The FLC910E supports the use of external high gain antennas for increased performance and reliability and extending

the range of the radio signal. The unit supports the power over Ethernet standard or a wide input range 10-28 Volts DC

through the terminal connection on the front of the unit.

Applications

The FLC910E units are can be congured for multiple operating modes. All the modes essentially are used to extend

the Ethernet network wirelessly to reduce the cost to add Ethernet to remote sites or create an Ethernet bridge between

networks.

Base Station & Station Adaptor Modes

The FLC910E can either act as a base station or a station adaptor. As the base station the FLC910E acts as the center

point for wireless communications, allowing FLC910E congured as station adaptors to connect and build a network. As a

station adaptor the FLC910E acts as a node to attach an Ethernet device or LAN segment thru a FLC910E base station.

Wireless Repeating Mode

The FLC910E can act as a base station and repeater to repeat the transmission to other units to increase the reliability

and extend the coverage area of the wireless network. This mode uses a half duplex operation mode to communicate

with another wireless repeater and wireless stations. All the units are congured the same with the addition of the MAC

address of units to communicate with, or automatic detection of the MAC address.

Wireless Interbuilding Mode

The FLC910E can act in an interbuilding mode and create an interconnected wireless network. In this mode there is no

central point of communications any unit connected wirelessly can communicate to any other unit in the system creating a

mesh network. All the units are congured the same using the same channel and mode.

Getting Started

Connections

•Connect the Test Antenna,

•Connect the Cat5 Ethernet cable to PC (for Conguration)

•Connect the Power Supply from wall to unit

The unit will begin the boot process upon power connected.

Note: The boot process takes about 70 seconds before the unit will be fully operational and congurable.

The LAN Link LED should be lit for a connection to the PC.

Setup PC for Configuration

Congure the PC TCP/IP settings to match the network for the FLC910E to be congured. (Set the PC to a static

IP Address of 192.168.1.X, where X can be from 2 to 254, and set a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0)

Note: You will need privileges on your PC to be able to access the IP Address 192.168.1.1. This might be

changing your current IP address to be in the same subnet (ex. 192.168.1.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0), if

you are not already on that subnet. (See Appendix B for more information on changing your IP Address)

Configuring the FLC910E

•Start a web browser client such as Internet Explorer© (6.0 or greater) or Mozilla Firefox©.

•In the address bar type: “http://192.168.1.1” to access the web based conguration.

Accept the “Security Alert” or “I Understand the Risks” and “Conrm Security Exception”.

Note: Firefox users must also click to Conrm Security Exception.

Note: To return the FLC910E to the default conguration and password, after the unit has fully booted, press and

hold the reset button for 5 seconds until the Status LED begins to ash quickly. This will reboot and reset the unit

to default conguration.

•Login into the unit using the defaults:

User Name: (admin)

Password: (password)

After successfully logging in the About page is

displayed and on the left margin of the browser is

the menu with information and setup options.

(See Appendix B for full details about the left

margin menu items and settings)

FLC910E User’s Guide

Setting up a system

Basic Setup:

In the basic setup menu you have the option to set a differ-

ent wireless device name then the default, which is

DEVICExxxxxx, where the xx is a hexadecimal number

related to last 6 digits of the MAC address.

For a system the IP Addresses on the units must be unique

and use the same IP Subnet Mask. After changing the IP

Address, the PC IP address may have to change to be on

the same network to continue conguration.

Operating modes (Radio Settings):

The FLC910E can operate as a base station, station adaptor,

wireless repeater, or in wireless interbuilding mode to create

a wireless network. The following with describe the setup of

each type of unit and the connectivity between the units.

Base Station:

The “Base Station” operates as the central unit for the

connectivity. “Station Adaptors” and “Wireless Repeaters”

will connect and communicate with a “Base Station”.

To setup the “Base Station” select “Base Station” from the

drop down menu of “Operating Mode”.

Apply this setting; the unit will be in base station mode.

Select the type of modulation OFDM or CCK.

Select the data rate to use. Note: Best will try to establish

the highest possible data rate, but for longer distances using

a xed lower rate may improve system reliability.

Select the output power, from full – min depending on

distance.

Select the bandwidth to use. The bandwidth selected will

determine the usable channels / frequency.

Select the Channel to use based on the table below:

Bandwidth / Channels Available

20 MHz CH2 or CH3

10 MHz CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4

5 MHz CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4

Apply the setting changes, if any.
