    IP devices via a built-in RJ45 Ethernet port. Both the EWR and the PWR efficiently combine the functionality of a Motorola Wireless Router and client modem into a single cost-effective wireless network component. This makes it easy for any Ethernet-ready device to access a Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA), mobile broadband network.

  • Page 29: Device Addressing Schemes

    Mesh Enabled Architecture EWR/PWR Users Guide Device Addressing Schemes The concept of unified modes of operation centers on the current state of network communication: Associated State and Unassociated State. There are three addressing schemes which allow the network manager increased flexibility in deployment: Network DHCP, Statically Provisioned, and User Supplied.
  • Page 30: User Supplied Scheme

    This scheme is ideal for a managed network of users who regularly need to communicate inside and outside of network coverage or for a network lacking a DHCP server. 3.3.3 User Supplied Scheme Operating under the User Supplied scheme, the EWR device is configured to use a fixed IP address and subnet mask.
