Page 4: Dn-2400E And Dn-2400Ep Introduction
The DN-2400E and DN-2400EP provide robust wireless 10 BaseT Ethernet bridge connections between a base and one or more remote units. The DN-2400E is designed to be powered from an external DC power supply. The DN-2400EP is designed to be powered from an external DC power supply or an IEEE 802.3af Mode B Power-over-Ethernet host. -
Page 5: Point-To-Multipoint Network
DN-2400E/EP networks function as a MAC layer bridges, with no IP address filtering. Any Ethernet packet received by a DN-2400E/EP will be transmitted over the air. If the DN-2400E/EP is used on an Ethernet network that includes information that should not be transmitted by a DN-2400E/EP, it should be placed behind an Ethernet switch that can perform the required filtering. -

The DN-2400E/EP case outline drawing is shown in Figure 4.1.1. The supplied antenna is hinged, allow- ing it to be set vertically with the case mounted either horizontally or vertically. The DN-2400E/EP case is designed for indoor use. It must be installed in a weather proof enclosure when used outdoors, such as a NEMA 4X enclosure. -

Page 11: Dn-2400Esk And Dn-2400Epsk Starter Kits
6.0 DN-2400ESK and DN-2400EPSK Starter Kits It is highly recommended that a Starter Kit containing two DN-2400E or DN-2400EP units be purchased initially for installing a network. The Starter Kit enables you to set up a point-to-point Ethernet connection very quickly using the units default settings. The Kit also contains all the necessary hardware and soft- ware to make any changes to the default settings required by your application. -

“Remote”. These are the default configurations set at the factory. They can be changed as ex- plained below. The DN-2400E units are powered using the included power supplies. The DN-2400EP units can be powered either with the included power supplies or a from hosts that implements IEEE 802.3af Mode B Power over Ethernet. -

The Comm Port Settings dialog box shown in Figure 7.0.2 will appear. Click on the OK button to establish a connection with the DN-2400E/EP. Figure 7.0.2 Figure 7.0.3 As soon as the serial connection is established, the Current Settings information on the left side of the main window and the information on all configuration tabs will be populated, as shown in Figure 7.0.3.
- Page 16 Note that all DN-2400E/EP wireless bridges ordered as single units outside of the Starter Kit are shipped configured as Remote units. One DN-2400E/EP in each network must be configured as a Base. All traffic to and from other bridges in the DN-2400E/EP network will flow through the base. Figure 7.0.4 shows a DN-2400E/EP being reconfig- ured from a Remote to a Base.
