This guide will assist you with the use, installation, and configuration of the MWR7300.
Mesh Wireless Router Defined
The Mesh Wireless Router (MWR) is a wireless device that is primarily
deployed to seed and extend the range between IAPs and Subscriber
Devices while simultaneously increasing the spectral efficiency of the
network. MWR functionality includes:
•
Maximum continuous data rate support ranging from
approximately 900 Kbps for 4.9 GHz MEA components
•
Maximum continuous data rate support of up to 20 Mbps
for stationary 2.4 GHz 802.11 devices.
•
Fixed reference for Geo-Location services
•
Dynamic Route Selection
•
Range Extension for all other network devices
•
Automatic Load Balancing
•
Network capacity optimization through small packet consolidation
Additional MWR Features
The Mesh Wireless Router (MWR) efficiently combines the functionality of a Wireless Router with
two internal high-speed Ethernet ports to support a total of six IP addresses. This allows a network of
IP-enabled devices to be directly addressed, accessed and managed over the MOTOMESH network.
Additional IP devices/addresses can be supported by simply linking the connected devices through a
NAT capable router.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The MWR and the IAP are considered as fixed Infrastructure devices. Infrastructure devices provide
area coverage access for Subscriber Devices (SDs) to the wired network. IAPs act as the principal
network management interface for associated MWRs and SDs. MWRs provide standard 802.11
authentications and access to the Radius server.
Both device types provide a fixed location reference for Geo-Location and wireless routing for
subscriber devices in the area of coverage.

Chapter 2: MWR Device Installation
MWR Device Deployment and Installation
The MWR device requires professional installation to ensure that the installation is performed in
accordance with FCC licensing regulations. All common precautions for grounding and electrostatic
discharge protection should be observed during deployment and installation.
Observe the following additional guidelines when deploying fixed Infrastructure devices (MWR and
IAP):
•
The MWR may be mounted on a pole having a diameter of 1-3.5 inches, utilizing the
provided bracket.
•
The antenna must have a separation distance of at least 2 meters from the body of all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
•
Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating
conditions to satisfy RF exposure compliance.
•
When deploying the MWR, the antenna should be a minimum of 30 inches from any
nearby metal poles to avoid distortion of the RF pattern.
•
The installation location must provide power to the MWR.
•
It is the responsibility of the Network Operator to ensure that the installation complies
with any local building codes and permits.
Assembling the MWR Device
Use the following procedure to assemble a MWR Device.
Procedure 2-1 Assembling the MWR Device
Place the brackets at the desired position on the pole.
Adjust the position of the box so that the antenna connecters are positioned vertically. Align the antennas
with the N-type connectors on the box and rotate to close.
Insert the cable into the external Ethernet port and tighten the connector to ensure a weatherproof seal.
Insert the Power Plug into the 4-pin connector.
Initial MWR Device Configuration Information
Prior to attempting configuration of a MWR device, the device must be powered up and have
connectivity to the MiSC.
The Geo-location coordinates are entered into an infrastructure device via the Device Manager
Network management tool installed on the MeshManager server (refer to the MeshManager Users
Guide). Motorola recommends that a DGPS receiver be used to obtain accurate GPS coordinates.
6881011Y53-O September 2005
2-6
MOTOMESH 1.0 Mesh Wireless Router Users Guide
The longitude, latitude, and altitude values should be entered to a precision of 5
digits following the decimal point.
Device Connectivity Testing
When a MiSC has been setup on the network, verify connectivity to the device using the following
procedure:
Procedure 2-2 Testing MWR Device Connectivity
Apply power to the device, the device should be operation in 60 to 120 seconds
Obtain the MEA and 802.11 MAC addresses for the device subcomponents that were recorded in the
MAC Address Table earlier in this manual. The address will be in the format 02-05-12-30-xx-yy.
Within MeshManager’s Device Manager screen, right-click on the appropriate MWR device in the
Device Tree and select the Ping Device option.
Check for a successful response to the Ping command in the Named Device results dialog box. A
successful response to the ping commands verifies connectivity to the device (MWR).
Repeat steps 1-4 for additional MWR devices.

Chapter 3: Device Configuration
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This chapter contains information which will assist you with accessing the MWR via local web
interface and using the available configuration options.
The web interface offers an incomplete alternative to configuring a MWR device when the network
lacks a Network DHCP server. The recommended device configuration method is to use the
MOTOMESH MeshManager Device Manager application, see the MOTOMESH MeshManager Users
Guide for additional details.
Accessing the Device Administration Web Pages
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The procedure below describes how to access the MWR device web page.
Procedure 3-1 Accessing the MWR Device Administration Web Interface
Find the IP address assigned to the MWR SBC prior to accessing the device administration web interface.
You can use MeshManager’s Device Manager to access the MWRs SBC IP address. To do this, doubleclick on the MWR in MeshManager’s Device Tree, and then view the resulting SBC IP address
information shown in the top right pane.
Note that by default, the device’s addressing mode will be set to Network DHCP
which means that the device will use the address assigned to it by the Network
DHCP Server.
If a fixed address was provided by the Network Operator in MeshManager, then that
IP address will be used by the MWR instead of the derived address when the
Statically Provisioned option is in effect.
When the IP address is known, open your web browser and enter the IP address of the MWR SBC.
For example, if the MWR SBC address is 10.128.32.1, then the web page would be found at
http://10.128.32.1/.

Additional Information about the Network DHCP Setting
Network DHCP means that the MWR device can be configured to request an address from a DHCP
server and requires the inclusion of a DHCP server in the core network configuration to answer these
requests. With Network DHCP selected, the MWR will send DHCP requests for its own address to the
core network once it becomes associated and establishes communications with the infrastructure.
Operation under the Network DHCP selection allows users to temporarily wander outside of the
network infrastructure without losing connectivity.
The server may be configured by the operator to hand out temporary or static leases. The MWR must
associate and acquire an address from the network before establishing communications. Once a lease
has been granted, the address will be valid out of network coverage for the remainder of the lease or, if
a static lease was granted, until the next power cycle. If the lease expires or the user cycles power
while outside of network coverage, the user will again lose the ability to communicate with the
wireless network.
Additional Information about the Statically Provisioned Setting
When selecting the Statically Provisioned Bridge Addressing option from the Configuration web
page, the MWR device will use provisioned DHCP-like information to establish an IP address for use
in the wireless network. A DHCP server is not required on the core network because the addresses are
derived from the MAC address by default. It should be noted that a DHCP server can still exist on the
network to hand out addresses to other nodes using the Network DHCP option as long as the server's
address range does not conflict with addresses assigned to other devices using the Statically
Provisioned option.
The IP addresses and options used are also configurable per-device using the MOTOMESH
MeshManager application.
6881011Y53-O September 2005
3-13
Chapter 3: Device Configuration
The Network Operator can choose to keep the provided (derived IP address) or assign a fixed IP
address and subnet mask. It is up to the Network Operator to ensure that the assigned address is
routable on the core network (if core network access is needed) and that it does not conflict with other
addresses in use. This is analogous to and carries the same caveats as plugging an Ethernet card into a
LAN and manually assigning an address to the card.
Security Settings Section (Authentication)
There are three security authentication settings available to the MOTOMESH MWR device: Force
Authorized, Force Unauthorized, and Local. Security authentication modes are selected from within
the Security Settings section of the MOTOMESH Device Administration Configuration page in the
Authorization Control field
The table below describes each field within the Security Settings section.
Table 3-4

Value
Authorization
Control
To allow for various levels of security and authentication control, there are
three security authentication settings available to the MOTOMESH MWR
device: Force Authorized, Force Unauthorized, and Local.
Force Authorized
Force Authorized:
In Force Authorized mode, there are effectively no security and
authentication controls, resulting in open authentication for all network
devices. There will be no security measures applied to links between
devices that are currently set to Force Authorized. Hardware
authentication via the HAS is still performed but password authentication
is not carried out at the user level and there is no integrity check carried out
for all packets transferred between any source and destination node
Force Unauthorized:
In Force Unauthorized mode, all devices seeking authorization for network
access will be denied, effectively locking down the network. The Force
Unauthorized setting will not allow any network device to establish
communication with any other node that may attempt to communicate with
the node set to Force Unauthorized.
Local:
In Local mode, the User ID and password for all devices requesting
network access must be validated against the security information
configured at the IAP. If the password is not valid, access will be denied. If
the password is valid, the device will be authorized for network access and
a secure connection will be maintained for the duration of the association
with the IAP. Integrity checking will be carried out on all the packets
flowing between the source and destination node.
Local ID
The specified Local ID is used for communication authentication with an
Intelligent Access Point device (IAP).
Local
Local
Password
The password used for authentication control between a local subscriber
device and an IAP device.

Viewing the MWR Configuration Page as a Normal User
When a Normal User logs into the Device Administration web interface, the Configuration page
contents will be the same as when viewed by an administrator account. The only difference is that
Normal users can ONLY change the Bridge Addressing scheme to Statically Provisioned and enter
specific IP addresses if needed or requested by a Network Administrator.
Please note that the default addressing scheme is set to Network DHCP and selecting the Statically
Provisioned mode will allow for field entry into the previously inactive (grayed-out) fields in that
section of the web page.
When making changes to the Bridge Addressing section be sure to select the Apply button to initiate
the changes and then follow on-screen prompts to complete the process.
