ES210 Hardware Guide: Overview Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 This Document This user guide covers preparing and installing the ES210 Fortress hardware. It also describes the LED indicators and push button operations and provides specifications. Other Fortress hardware devices are covered in separate hardware guides, one for each Bridge model. WARNING: can cause physical injury or death and/or severely damage your equipment.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Overview 1.2 The ES210 The Fortress ES210 Secure Wireless Bridge is a full-featured Fortress controller device, providing strong data encryption and Multi-factor Authentication™, including native RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication, to users and devices on the network it secures. The ES210 Bridge is equipped with a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n radio that can be configured to use either the 802.11b/g band or the 802.11a band, with an option for 802.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Preparation Before using or charging an ES210 battery, review the initial installation and charging information in Section 1.1. Before proceeding with installation, review the safety information in Section 2.1.1 below. 2.1.1 Safety Requirements To prevent damage to the product and ensure your personal safety, operate the ES210 Secure Wireless Bridge only within the operating specifications given in Section 4.1.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation Powering: The Bridge is powered by a 9-30 V DC external power source and/or a 7.4V lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery. The wall-mounted (12 V @ 2A) power supply simultaneously powers and charges the ES210 Bridge, at a normal load of 6 W (16 W max. during charging). Battery: The 7.4V lithium ion battery cartridge contains safety devices that protect the 2S (2 Series) cells from abuse and is keyed to install only in the correct orientation.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation 2.1.2 Battery Use and Maintenance The ES210 Bridge is equipped with a 7.4 volt, 4 amp-hours (29 watt-hours), lithium ion polymer battery. The battery can power 5–8 hours of Bridge operation, depending on the specific power requirements of your deployment. It is specified to operate for at least 500 charge cycles. CAUTION: To ensure optimal performance, the battery should be fully charged before its initial use.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation Once the battery compartment is closed, you can power up and operate the Bridge while the battery is charging. 2.1.2.2 Battery Charging and Power Requirements The ES210 Bridge can operate normally while the battery is charging. The battery charges up to 8.2 volts in a maximum of 2.2 hours, with a maximum power consumption of 16 watts (during simultaneous charging and operation). The ES210 Bridge will auto-charge whether power is on or off (Section 3.2.1).
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation 2 Unscrew the battery cover screws and lift the battery cover (Figure 2.1). 3 Remove the existing battery. 4 Fully seat the replacement battery in the compartment in the correct orientation: contacts at the bottom and facing back (into the compartment), corner notch situated on the lower right. 5 Replace the battery cover and retighten the cover screws.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation The Bridge's serial console port is located under the screw cap on the front of the chassis, above the battery compartment, as shown in Figure 2.1. To access the port, use a screwdriver or similarly shaped object (such as a key) to loosen the cap and then unscrew it. Be sure to replace and tighten the cap securely when the port is not in use. Refer to the CLI Software Guide for serial port settings. 2.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation If you are powering the Bridge only through the DC Power input, connect it to the power adapter that shipped with the Bridge, and connect the adapter to a properly rated AC power outlet. 2 2.3 If the Bridge’s internal radio will be used, connect an omnidirectional antenna with a maximum gain of 5 dBi to the Wi-Fi antenna port. 3 If the Bridge’s GPS function will be used, connect an antenna to the GPS antenna port.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation 2.3.2 1 Identify four, each, of the magnets, bolts and nuts included in the mounting kit (pictured above). 2 Position a magnet with its flat side against the outer face of one of the feet on the mounting bracket and the bolt holes in the magnet and bracket foot aligned. When tightened, the head of the bolt should fit into the depression on one side of the magnet.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation 2.3.3 1 Identify the two mast clamps included in the mounting kit (pictured above). 2 Guide one end of a mast clamp through two parallel clamp slots in the bracket so that the open loop in the clamp and its captive screw fastener are on the same side of the mounting bracket as the bracket’s mast notches (as shown). 3 Repeat Step 2 for the second mast clamp.
ES210 Hardware Guide: Installation 2 Position the bracket where you want to mount it, with the bracket feet flat against the mounting surface, and mark the position of the holes in all four feet. 3 If necessary, prepare the mounting surface by drilling holes and, if appropriate, installing wall anchors at the mounting positions you have marked. 4 Align the holes in the feet of the mounting bracket with the prepared mounting positions and secure the bracket to the surface with the four #10 fasteners.
ES210 Hardware Guide: LEDs and Pushbutton Operation Chapter 3 LEDs and Pushbutton Operation 3.1 Top-Panel Indicators The ES210 Bridge’s top panel features four system LEDs (Power, Battery, Radio, Crypto,) and a pair of Link and Activity LEDs for each of the ES210’s two Ethernet ports. NOTE: There are no LED indications in a Bridge in blackout mode (see Section 3.2.2). power LED battery LED radio LED crypto LED port activity LED port link LED Figure 3.1. Fortress ES210 Bridge LED Indicators 3.1.
ES210 Hardware Guide: LEDs and Pushbutton Operation when powered by AC, Battery can exhibit: solid green - Battery is fully charged. off - Battery is charging. when powered by battery, Battery can exhibit: slow-flash green - Low Battery condition (below 6.3 V): the Bridge will automatically power down five minutes after Low Battery is first signaled (if external power is not supplied first). off - Bridge is powered off.
ES210 Hardware Guide: LEDs and Pushbutton Operation 3.2 Pushbutton Operation The ES210 Bridge is equipped with three push buttons. RF Kill Power On/ Blackout Mode Power Off left right Figure 3.2. ES210 Push Buttons 3.2.1 Powering the Bridge On and Off When the ES210 Bridge is powered off, the lower button on the left side of the chassis powers it on. The single button on the right side of the chassis powers it off.
ES210 Hardware Guide: LEDs and Pushbutton Operation If Blackout Mode is Disabled, the actions below will enable it. If the setting is Enabled, the same steps will disable it. 1 Press the lower button on the left side of the chassis. 2 Hold it down for five seconds. 3 Release the button. You can change the Blackout Mode setting in the Bridge GUI (see the GUI Software Guide) or in the Bridge CLI (see the CLI Software Guide).
