  • Page 3: Introduction

    Product Manual 1.03 1 Introduction The ETRX2USB wireless mesh networking USB Stick is effectively an RS232 to USB bridge connected to an ETRX2 wireless meshing module. This allows connectivity to a computer‟s USB port. The supplied drivers create a virtual COM Port, so that the command line of the ETRX2 can be accessed via any terminal software application.

    For further technical information, including radio certification, see the ETRX2 or ETRX2PA Module Product Manual. Please note that the R2xx Telegesis AT-Command line Interpreter is based on a private application profile and uses the Ember meshing and self-healing stack, so interoperability with wireless mesh networking solutions from other manufacturers is unlikely when using the default firmware.

  • Page 6: Driver Installation And Operation

    When executing the file „PreInstaller.exe‟ prior to plugging in the ETRX2USB stick an installer will guide you through the steps required for the driver installation. If prompted that the driver hasn‟t passed the windows logo test simply press „Continue Anyway‟.
  • Page 7 Please note that each ETRX2USB has a unique serial number which requires the installation procedure to be repeated with every new ETRX2USB being attached to the computer. This allows multiple ETRX2USB sticks to be used on the same computer at any one time.

    In addition, one of our customers has written a Linux driver that will be included in the 2.6.25 kernel. It can be found at www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/. (Note that this is for information only, and this software was developed entirely outside Telegesis.) ©2008 Telegesis (UK) Ltd...
  • Page 10: Custom Firmware Development

    1.03 8 Custom Firmware Development If you intend to develop custom firmware to go onto the ETRX2USB you need to contact Ember to obtain access to their suite of development tools and their stack. In order to download custom firmware onto the ETRX2, the Ember bootloader can be used or alternatively the ETRX2USB can be directly connected to the Ember InSight Adapter for programming and real time debugging.

    There is no “blank” version of the ETRX2 Module available. All Modules carry both the Ember Stack and the Telegesis AT style Command Layer. Where customers wish to add their own firmware they can erase and write it to the flash memory of the Ember EM250.
