About Your Vlinx ESR90xW Wireless Serial Server  
Vlinx ESR90xW Wireless Serial Servers are part of B&B Electronics  
growing family of device servers, products that allow you to connect  
equipment with available serial connections into existing networks. Vlinx  
ESR90xW wireless serial servers connect RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485  
devices to a wireless network via wireless access points, eliminating the need  
for network cabling. Devices connected to the serial ports on your Vlinx  
ESR90xW can be accessed from any node on the LAN using Direct IP  
Mode, Virtual COM Port, or Serial Tunneling (Paired Mode) connections.  
Based on the 802.11g wireless standard, Vlinx ESR90xW servers operate at  
up to 54Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band, which does not require licensing.  
Configuration of wireless and serial port settings using:  
o
Vlinx Web Console, which allows configuration via the

Communication Modes  
Vlinx ESR90xW Wireless Serial Servers enable communication with  
serial devices over  
a
wireless network. The three main types of  
communications supported by ESR90xW Wireless Serial Servers are Direct  
IP Mode, Virtual COM Mode and Serial Tunneling Mode.  
Direct IP Mode  
Direct IP connections allow applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket  
programs to communicate with the asynchronous serial ports on the serial  
server. In this type of application the serial server is configured as a TCP or  
UDP server. The socket program running on the PC establishes a  
communication connection. The data is sent directly to and from the serial  
port on the server. When using UDP protocol the server can be configured to  
broadcast data to and receive data from multiple IP addresses.

Introduction  
Introduction  
802.11 Wireless Networking  
Virtual COM Mode  
IEEE 802.11 is a set of standards that defines how multiple devices can  
communicate on a wireless network. The standard has grown into a set of  
several standards that define various features and functions. The 802.11g  
standard defines the physical and data link layers for a wireless network  
using the 2.4 GHz frequency band, a band that does not require licensing. As  
a part of the IEEE family of standards, 802.11 WLANs are easily connected  
to 802.3 (Ethernet) LANs. Higher layer LAN protocols, network operating  
systems and internetworking protocols such as TCP/IP integrate seamlessly.  
Virtual COM Mode allows application programs to effectively extend their  
COM ports across the network. Data sent to that port is redirected via the  
network to a COM port on the serial server. Windows programs using  
standard Windows API calls are able to interface to these virtual COM ports.  
When a program on the PC opens the port, it communicates with the remote  
serial device connected to one of the ports on the serial server.  
After connection, the LAN is transparent to the program and serial device.  
Applications are able to work just as if the serial device is connected directly  
to a physical COM port on the computer. The virtual COM port software  
converts the application’s data into IP packets, sends it across the network to  
the serial server, which converts the IP packet back to serial data and sends  
the data out a serial port located on the serial server.  
Under the IEEE 802.11 standard there can be two different types of devices  
on the wireless network: stations and access points (AP). A station often is a  
PC equipped with a wireless network adapter. An 802.11 access point is a  
radio with an interface that allows connection to a wired LAN. Access points  
run bridging software to facilitate the connection from wireless to wired  
network. The access point becomes the base station for the WLAN. It  
aggregates access to the wired network for multiple wireless stations. An  
access point may be a standalone device or a card in a PC.  
Serial Tunneling Mode  
Serial Tunneling is also called paired mode. In this mode any two serial  
devices that can communicate across the wireless link will be able to  
communicate using two serial servers.  
Wireless Network Configurations  
The 802.11 standard defines two modes of operation: infrastructure mode  
and ad hoc mode. Infrastructure mode makes use of one or more access  
points connected to a wired LAN. Wireless stations communicate with access  
points to gain access to each other and/or the LAN. In the Basic Service Set  
(BSS) several stations communicate with one access point, which is  
connected to a wired LAN. In the Extended Service Set (ESS) two or more  
access points connect to the LAN creating a subnetwork.  
One server is configured as a TCP or UDP client and the other as a  
TCP/UDP server. When setting up the server the remote IP address section  
must contain the address of the client. This will allow the client’s IP address  
to pass the IP address-filtering feature of the server. Conversely, the Remote  
IP address of the client must contain the server’s IP address. Both  
communication port numbers must be the same.  
802.11 Wireless Networking Basics  
In ad hoc mode, also called Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), access  
points are not used. Wireless stations communicate directly with each other  
in a peer-to-peer fashion. This mode allows individual computers to set up a  
network where wireless infrastructure does not exist.  
Vlinx ESR90xW wireless serial servers allow you to connect non-network-  
enabled serial devices into a wireless network, giving you the capability to  
gather more data and implement remote programming and management.  
Serial devices no longer are limited to a physical connection to a PC. The  
serial device can be connected to a Vlinx ESR90xW wireless serial server  
anywhere within range of an 802.11g compatible wireless access point.  
Communication occurs transparently using TCP/IP or UDP/IP over a  
wireless link. This allows traditional Windows PC software access to serial  
devices anywhere on the wireless network.  
Vlinx ESR90xW wireless serial servers can be configured to operate in  
infrastructure mode only, ad hoc mode is not supported at this time. During  
device configuration a wireless configuration wizard guides you through the  
process of setting up the type of network, naming the network (specifying the  
SSID, or service set identifier) and other parameters.  
The enabling technology for Vlinx ESR90xW wireless serial servers is  
based on the IEEE 802 standard. Some background on the standard follows.

Introduction  
Introduction  
ESR90xW Startup Procedure  
IEEE 802.11g  
Setup and configuration of your Vlinx ESR90xW wireless serial server is  
fast, straightforward and simple. You have several options from which to  
choose. The following procedure outlines an easy way to get your server set  
up and operational.  
IEEE 802.11g standard specifies a WLAN that operates on the 2.4 GHz band  
at data rates up to 54 Mbps, but is backward compatible with the earlier  
802.11b standard (which operates at up to 11 Mbps). Systems can  
incorporate 802.11b and 802.11g equipment and they will interoperate.  
However, when connected into the same network the 802.11g equipment will  
operate at the 11 Mbps limitation of the 802.11b equipment.  
1. Package Checklist  
To begin, check to see that you have everything you will require. The  
contents of your ESR90xW package should include:  
For media access, 802.11 wireless networks use CSMA/CA, a scheme in  
which a station that intends to transmit ‘listens’ for traffic on the radio carrier  
frequency and sends data packets if the frequency is clear. If the receiving  
station receives the packet intact it sends an acknowledgement (ACK) to  
confirm the packet has been received. If the transmitting station does not  
receive an ACK it assumes a collision occurred and transmits again after a  
random delay period.

Communications distances vary depending on the type and thickness of  
material around an 802.11g node. The transmitter power output, the type of  
antenna used and the amount of attenuation through materials also affects the  
useable range. Electromagnetic noise, reflections, the amount of network  
traffic, other radio devices operating in the same frequency band also affect  
range and overall performance. In an infrastructure network the number of  
access points and their coverage pattern also affect how well the system  
operates. Typically an 802.11 device operating indoors will have a range  
from 100 feet minimum to about 300 feet maximum. Outdoors, some  
products, using high gain antennae may achieve line-of-sight ranges of five  
miles or more.

2. Hardware Setup  
1. Connect the antenna to your ESR90xW  
2. Connect a standard Ethernet (CAT5/RJ-45 straight through) cable  
from the PC network adapter to the ESR90xW Configuration Port  
Security is a significant concern for WLAN users. Whether security threats  
originate intentionally or unintentionally, wireless systems are more  
susceptible than wired systems. Vlinx ESR90xW offer several security  
options including WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), LEAP (Lightweight  
Extensible Authentication Protocol) and others.  
3. Connect 24 VAC or 12 to 30 VDC power to the ESR90xW  
4. Connect the serial port on the ESR90xW to the serial port on your  
serial device. This is optional during the initial configuration steps  
but will be required for operation.  
For RS-232 operation, your ESR90xW is configured as a DTE and uses a DB-  
9M connector. Use a straight through RS-232 cable if your serial device is  
configured as a DCE. If your serial device is configured as a DTE you will have  
to use a null modem (crossover) cable.

and 4). The Data(+) line is pulled up to 3.3V supply using a 4.7 kresistor  
and the Data(-) line is pulled down to ground, also using a 4.7 kresistor.  
One standard RJ-45 receptacle that allows the serial server to be connected to  
personal computer for programming, troubleshooting and device  
configuration. A standard straight-through RJ-45 (male) Ethernet cable can  
be used for this purpose. (This port is not intended to connect directly to an  
Ethernet network.)  
RS-422/485 Terminating  
Antenna Connector  
If a terminating resistor is deemed necessary, for RS-422 operation typically  
a 120 resistor would be connected across the Receive Data(+) and Receive  
Data(-) lines. For RS-485 operation the resistor would be connected across  
the Data(+) and Data(-) lines.  
The antenna connector is a reverse SMA connector.  
(An omni-directional antenna is supplied with ESR90xW wireless serial  
servers. All ESR90xW serial servers are FCC-certified when the supplied  
antenna is used.)

Device Communication Ports  
Device Communication Ports  
Polling Strings  
Chapter 5: Adjusting the Behavior of  
Device Communication Ports  
Polling strings are used when you want the ESR90xW to look for a specific data  
pattern before taking the data in it’s serial buffer and creating an Ethernet packet with  
it. Polling strings can be configured to monitor not only the serial traffic but the  
Ethernet traffic as well.  
There is a significant difference between serial and Ethernet data communications.  
Data that comes in through the Ethernet is presented to the device in the form of very  
distinct packets. On the other hand without information about the format of the data  
coming in through the serial port the device may not know at what point to package  
up the data and hand it off to the Ethernet network. It is for this reason that the  
ESR90xW series of devices allow you to define when the device converts serial  
stream data into Ethernet packets. The following examples are provided to illustrate  
the power behind these options:  
Timeouts  
Polling strings are used when you want the ESR90xW to look for a specific data  
pattern before taking the data in its serial buffer and creating an Ethernet packet with  
it.  
There are two different types of timeouts. Total Message and Inter-character timeouts.  
A Total Message timeout counter starts when the first byte is received. Once the  
specified amount of time has elapsed since this initial byte the trigger is fired and the  
device will transmit the buffered data.  
Configuration #1: The ESR90xW is connected to a device used to monitor air  
temperature. Software that interfaces with this hardware polls the device for the  
current status once a minute. This data is returned in the form of a single byte  
containing the temperature in Celsius.  
The second type of timeout is an Inter-character timeout. This is used to trigger after a  
defined amount of inactivity.  
Configuration #2: This ESR90xW is connected to a machine is connected to an  
ATM machine. When a customer starts a transaction with the ATM a large burst of  
serial data is passed onto the central bank.  
Data Quantities  
In addition to the two previously mentioned methods of Ethernet packet transmission  
triggers you can also setup a specific data amount that the device will wait for before  
acting on the incoming data.  
Obviously in both of the configurations the data is critical and needs to be passed over  
the network in the quickest manner possible. For configuration #1 the best behavior  
for the device would be to send the incoming byte of temperature information out over  
the network as soon as it comes in. On the other hand if the device acted the same way  
for the second configuration it would flood the network with all of the Ethernet  
overhead. In this case the device would be better to wait for a moment and send a full  
Ethernet packet rather than a packet for each byte of data.  
Using Multiple Conditions  
You can use the data trigger conditions individually or it is also possible to use them  
in combination with each other. When more than one condition is specified they are  
treated as a “logical AND”. This means that if any of the conditions specified is true  
then the data buffer is transmitted.  
There are a number of different conditions that your ESR90xW can be configured to  
watch for when dealing with the data coming in through it’s serial communication  
port(s).
