Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Wireless Modem Card. If you wish to skip this introduction and
begin the installation, go directly to the Installing the WMC6300 Wireless Modem Card section
of this document.
MEA is a wireless communication system capable of supporting high data rate mobile
communication at vehicular speeds. The MEA system is designed to allow standard client hosts
with a PCMCIA interface to have a mobile broadband Ethernet connection. The MEA system
works transparently to the client host in a manner similar to an Ethernet connection. MEA
provides Internet Protocol based data and location services. Its geo-location accuracy and
availability is better than ±10 meters within 1 second. It is capable of supporting subscribers
traveling up to 100 miles per hour.
Figure 1. WMC6300 Wireless Modem Card
The MEA system provides a secure and reliable transport for the client host. The client host
may still require configuration and authentication before it will be allowed to access services on
the core network. Access to the core network is controlled by the network administrator
according to current operating practices. This document provides detailed installation and
configuration instructions for installing the MEA WMC6300 Wireless Modem Card and
supporting software.

Overview of the MeshTray Application
MeshTray
MeshTray is a status application that reports vital and statistical information about the MEA
card. Because MeshTray is a tray application, it stays in the desktop system status tray when it
is minimized as shown in the figures below. The MeshTray icon changes to indicate the state of
the wireless interface. In Figure 17 the MeshTray icon is in an inactive or disconnected state.

Starting MeshTray
MeshTray will automatically start whenever a WMC6300 is inserted into the Pocket PC device.
If MeshTray has been stopped and needs to be restarted, double-click on the MeshTray icon on
the desktop. Also, if MeshTray has been minimized, clicking on the MeshTray icon in the
system tray restores the application to a property sheet interface as shown in Figure 21.
MeshTray Status Tab
When the utility is launched, MeshTray displays useful system information such as a description
of the device, the MAC and IP address of the node, and the type of device (i.e., Subscriber
Device). The Firmware version and build date are also displayed. When in infrastructure mode,
the status tab also displays the associated IAP MAC address and the link quality to that IAP.
.
Figure 21. MeshTray Status Tab

MeshTray Configuration Tab
The Configuration Tab has a drop down selection that allows the user to select it’s mode of
operation; Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc Peer-to-Peer. Infrastructure mode allows the user to use
equipment deployed by the network operator to access the Internet. Peer-to-Peer mode allows
users to communicate among themselves without accessing a wired network.
If Geo-Position has been enabled on the WMC6300, the Geo-Position option will be selectable
and the user may configure the reporting interval as shown in Figure 22. Otherwise, the Geo-
Position box will be grayed out as shown in Figure 25. Likewise, if Enhanced Geo has been
enabled on the WMC6300, an additional checkbox will appear to allow the user to select that
mode. Refer to the section on the Geo Position Tab for additional information.

Priority
The User Priority service can be provisioned on a per node basis for use with tiered service and
emergency access systems. This priority feature is unique to the MEA network and only exists
between endpoints within the MEA network or between a MEA network node and the
ingress/egress node on the mea network.
Nodes outside of the MEA Core LAN cannot request a particular priority for transmitted or
received traffic. Any traffic into the mea network needing prioritization must be prioritized at the
ingress access point or router. Any traffic out of the MEA network will lose its priority
assignment at the egress.
MEA wireless traffic will carry priorities attached to each packet. The MeshAPI can be used to
tune the default priority of the local node.
There is also an optional Emergency mode for use by special applications. The priority for use
in emergency mode is separately provisioned and must be explicitly enabled per node by the
network operator.

Addressing Scheme for Unified Modes of Operation
With MEARelease 3.0, the concept of modes has been replaced by a Unified Modes of
operation addressing scheme. The concept of unified modes of operation centers on the current
state of network communication: Associated State and Unassociated State. There are three
addressing schemes which allow the IT manager increased flexibility in deployment.
Figure 24. Network Addressing Scheme Drop-Down Menu
MEA WMC6300 Pocket PC User’s Guide
19
Network DHCP Scheme
Operation under the Network DHCP scheme is similar to that of Release 2 in Infrastructure
Mode. The primary difference is users are now allowed to temporarily wander outside of the
network infrastructure without losing connectivity.
Network DCHP requires that the user's host device be configured to request an address from a
DHCP server and the inclusion of a DHCP server in the core network configuration to answer
these requests. With Network DHCP selected, the network device will forward any DHCP
requests to the core network once it becomes associated and establishes communications with
the infrastructure.
The server may be configured by the operator to hand out temporary or static leases. The user
must associate and acquire an address from the network before establishing communications.
Once a lease has been granted, the address may be dragged 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.
This scheme is best for a larger, closely managed network of subscribers who don't need to
communicate or communicate only briefly outside of network coverage.
Statically Provisioned Scheme
Operation under the Statically Provisioned scheme is similar to that of Release 2 in Peer-to-
Peer Mode. The primary difference is that addresses are configured by the network operator
rather than hashed from the MAC address. This serves to eliminate the 10.x.x.x limitation on the
network range.
When operating under the Statically Provisioned scheme, the network device will accept DHCP
requests from the user's host and internally generate responses to grant the host an IP address
and assign any other provisioned options.
This scheme requires that the host be configured to request an address from a DHCP server
but does not require a DHCP server on the core network.
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 Scheme as long as the server's address range does not
conflict with addresses assigned to devices using the Statically Provisioned or User Supplied
Schemes.
The granted IP addresses granted by the server and options are configurable per-device using
MeshManager. The internally generated DHCP messages will assign the host a static lease to
the provisioned address, which may be freely used to communicate while associated or
unassociated.
The operator must ensure that the provisioned addresses are routable and do not conflict with
any other addresses in use. The operator is free to provision any option ordinarily provisioned
by a DHCP server (subnet mask, DNS, etc.) through programming of the appropriate fields in
each device using MeshManager.
This scheme is ideal for a managed network of users who regularly need to communicate inside
and outside of network coverage or for a network lacking a DHCP server.
User Supplied Scheme
Operating under the User Supplied scheme, the user's host device is configured to use a fixed
MeshNetworks
20
IP address and subnet mask. The user is responsible for configuring options that would
otherwise be configured by a DHCP server.
Furthermore, it is up to the user 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 it an address.
The user is free to communicate while associated or unassociated. This scheme is ideal for
small, unmanaged networks lacking a DHCP server.
All of these schemes may be assigned per device, either by the user or by the network
manager. The network manager can also limit the user-selectable schemes or force a specific
scheme. Devices in each of these schemes can interoperate and communicate with each other,
so long as the assigned addresses do not conflict and are mutually routable.
