In combination, these products provide carrier class data reliability, low latency, and deterministic power management that is required for the industrial automation market. The XG2510HE acts as both as a gateway and network manager for up to 250 XDM2510H modules (motes), creating a self-configuring, reliable wireless mesh network.
The XDM2510E gateway/manager provides configuration, management and gateway functionality for a network of XDM2510H transceiver modules. At its core, the XG2510HE utilizes a SmartMesh IA-510 embedded manager, which includes a wireless transceiver, processor and memory, embedded networking software, and multiple interfaces to host systems, including PPP and Ethernet.
XG2510HE Packing List 1 - I HAPTER NTRODUCTION XG2510HE Packing List The components shipped with the XG2510HE gateway/manager are listed in Table 1. Table 1 Packing List for the XG2510HE Manager Component Amount Description XG2510HE Controls and monitors the network.
Ethernet 10/100Base-T Ethernet IEEE 802.3 10/100Base-T Note: The Ethernet interface must be connected before the XG2510HE is powered on in order for Linux to recognize the Ethernet port. XML-RPC API The XML-RPC API is an open Extensible Markup Language (XML) interface that lets a client application send Remote Procedure Call (RPC) requests to the gateway/ manager and receive responses and other data from the manager via XML-RPC.
NTRODUCTION Serial 1 Interface The Serial 1 interface (RJ45 connector) provides programmatic access for configuration, management, and data access to the XG2510HE. The interface can be used for one of two functions: • To access the manager using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) •...
(CLI) through RS232. The CLI can be used to set the configuration of the Serial 1 interface and for troubleshooting with the assistance of RFM techincal support. Appendix A provides instructions on using the CLI to set the Serial 1 configuration.

Regulatory and Standards Compliance Installation and Operation The antenna used for the XG2510HE transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Installers and end-users must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
XDM2510H Development Kit, refer to the XDM2510H Module Integration Guide. Note: The XG2510HE is not recommended for outdoor use because the enclosure is not weatherproof. Exposing the XG2510HE to moisture may cause permanent damage. Ports Used by the XG2510HE The transmission control protocol (TCP) ports listed in Table 10 must be open to allow the Admin Toolset utilities to connect to the XG2510HE gateway/manager.
NSTALLING THE Connecting the XG2510HE to a Computer The XG2510HE is preconfigured with the static IP address 192.168.99.100 for direct connection to a computer. You will temporarily set the computer IP address to a static IP address that enables the computer to communicate with the manager. The computer needs to have Windows Internet Explorer 7 (or later) or Firefox 2.0 (or later)
DHCP to obtain a LAN-assigned IP address, or assign a static LAN IP address to the XG2510HE. If you want to use a static LAN IP address, you will need to obtain this address from the LAN administrator.
