W2150A/W2250A
1 and 2-port RS-232/422/485 IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless device servers
The NPort® W2150A and W2250A are the ideal choice for connecting
your serial devices, such as PLCs, meters, and sensors, to a wireless
LAN. Your communications software will be able to access the serial
devices from anywhere over a wireless LAN. Moreover, the wireless
device servers require fewer cables and are ideal for applications that
involve difficult wiring situations. In Infrastructure Mode or Ad-Hoc
Wireless device servers require fewer cables and are ideal for
applications that involve difficult wiring situations. In Infrastructure
Mode or Ad-Hoc Mode, the NPort® W2150A and NPort® W2250A
Wi-Fi networks at offices and factories allow users to move, or “roam,”
between several APs (Access Points). Moxa’s Fast Roaming function
Mode, the NPort® W2150A and NPort® W2250A can connect to Wi-Fi
networks at offices and factories to allow users to move, or “roam,”
between several APs (Access Points), and offer an excellent solution
for devices that are frequently moved from place to place.
can communicate with any host computer through an access point, or
with another NPort® W2150A or NPort® W2250A located up to 100
meters away.
For mission-critical applications, data from the serial device must not
be lost if the wireless connection goes down. The NPort® W2150A
and NPort® W2250A are designed to continue operating if the wireless
connection is disconnected temporarily. If the wireless connection
is retraining, or if the connection fails, the serial data from the serial
device will be queued in the 10 MB port buffer built into the device
server. As soon as the wireless connection returns to normal, the data
stored in the buffer will be sent to its destination. In addition, a serial
data log can be enabled to make troubleshooting easier.
The serial data log buffer for both the NPort® W2150A and NPort®
W2250A is 64 KB per port.
increases the roaming speed to unify AP channels and avoid wasting
channel hopping time while roaming.

The NPort® W2150A and NPort® W2250A both have a built-in WLAN site survey tool.
Additional software is NOT required to complete the site survey.
The purpose of conducting a WLAN site survey is to determine how many access points
are required, and where the access points should be placed. For most implementations, the
number and placement of access points is designed to guarantee a minimum data rate. With
wireless systems, it is often necessary to perform a WLAN site survey before installing the
access points in order to understand how radio waves behave within the facility.
