Page 24: Antenna Location
Minimize the distance between the radio and the location of the antenna. The coaxial cable between the two impacts Transmit Power and Receive Sensitivity negatively. B+B SmartWorx recommends using 1.32-1.37mm outer diameter U.FL coaxial cables. Minimize the locations where metal surfaces come into contact or are close to the location of the antenna. - Page 25 RxA = Receiver antenna gain (dBi) RxC = Receiver to Antenna coax cable loss (dB) This is a complex subject and requires more information than is presented here. B+B SmartWorx recommends reviewing the subject and evaluating any system at a basic level.

Page 68: Configuring Ethernet Adapter
AirborneM2M™ User Guide CONFIGURING ETHERNET ADAPTER ABDx-ER-DP5xx/IN5xxx devices are shipped preconfigured for use as an Ethernet adapter. All that is required is to configure the WLAN parameters and security protocols. However, the following section will cover the full configuration of an Ethernet Device to aid installation and deployment of the units. The Airborne Ethernet Adapter (-ER-) is a fully functional NAT Level 3 router, supporting a public IP address for the WLAN interface and a private network for the attached devices on the Ethernet interface. -
Page 69: Public Network Interface
AirborneM2M™ User Guide The private network is the wired interface provided by the bridge. This interface includes a DHCP server and supports dynamic and static IP address assignment. This means any Ethernet client supporting DHCP can be connected to the wired interface without any configuration changes. The private network host can communicate with the Airborne Adapter using the bridge’s Ethernet IP address on the private network. -
Page 70: Private Network Interface
AirborneM2M™ User Guide PRIVATE NETWORK INTERFACE The private network interface is on the Ethernet port of the Airborne Adapter.

Page 72: Bridge Functionality
AirborneM2M™ User Guide When attempting to make an out-bound connection to a device on the public network, the public network IP address of the device should be used. Figure 20, e.g.: the client with address 192.168.2.100, wants to connect to an FTP server with the address of 123.45.67.99, on the public network to perform a firmware download. -
Page 73: Mac Cloning
AirborneM2M™ User Guide MAC CLONING If the network is configured to not allow multiple MAC address for the same IP address, MAC address cloning should be enabled. MAC address cloning will cause the WLAN module to adopt the MAC address of the first Ethernet client that it sees traffic from. If the Ethernet client uses DHCP, the module will sniff the DHCP transactions and learn the MAC and IP that the client will use, and adopts them as its own. -
