http://echoring.com Revision: 1 3 Product Information 3.1 Intended Use of the Product The EchoRing Ethernet Bridge (device) enables a time-critical and reliable wireless link between Ethernet-based industrial protocol devices. It can be employed for: • Replacing cable-based network infrastructure with a wireless connection in machinery, vehicles and devices, enabling simplified infrastructure and flexible operations.
http://echoring.com Revision: 1 generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
http://echoring.com Revision: 1 4 Installation ATTENTION — The device emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band. Make sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this device meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy. ! ATTENTION — The device is recommended for use in industrial environments. It is mandatory to employ a functional ground connection to comply with safety requirements.
http://echoring.com Revision: 1 4.2.2 Wall or Mast Mounting 1. Place the wall mounts in their desired positions on the device. The mounts can be placed horizontally or vertically. 2. Use adequate force to drive the mount bolt in the device notch. If using a hammer, please be sure not to accidently hit and damage the device casing. Figure 4-III: Wall or mast mounting 3. Repeat with the other mounts. TIP — Attaching wall mounts to a device is irreversible. 4.

http://echoring.com Revision: 1 5 Web-based Configuration Interface 5.1 General Information The Web-based configuration interface is used for configuring, deploying and reconfiguring devices. 5.2 Set Up and Access Web User Interface 1. Arrange and connect a PC, the Config Server and the devices, intended to be in the same network cell, to the network switch according to the following diagram: Figure 5-I: Config setup 2. Ensure all Ethernet cables are connected, and that all devices are powered on. 3.
http://echoring.com Revision: 1 3. Click the ”Configure Deployment” button underneath to continue. 4. Please determine the MAC address of the device to be connected and enter it to the right of the device’s (Node) IP address. 5. The “Capacity Factor” configures the number of available transmission slots of the device, allowing for greater data rate (throughput), asymmetric traffic, or synchronicity optimization per device - in relation to overall network capacity (which is configured later).
http://echoring.com Revision: 1 7. Click the EchoRing tab and set the parameters to match the application data and the wireless settings. (H) (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) (G) (I) (A) Channel: the radio frequency to operate on. TIP — To prevent interference, please ensure that any other radio transmitting device does not operate on the selected channel. Please see to our product portfolio for tools that can help you plan and enable coexistence of wireless products.
http://echoring.com Revision: 1 (E) Base Data Rate: is the shared data rate among all devices that can be achieved with the current setting. TIP — A Base Data Rate value can be given as an input, helpful in cases when the network throughput requirement is more primary than for example a specific Packet Length. (F) Packet Length: the maximum expected packet length. Packet Length must be dimensioned to include all protocol headers.
