Introducing NovaRoam EH900
About NovaRoam
NovaRoam is a wireless IP router featuring unique ad hoc (mesh) networking
capabilities for mobile and stationary applications. In a typical wireless network,
the NovaRoam is as transparent as a hardwired router. Configuration of the
NovaRoam is made simple through use of its embedded browser-based
configuration software.

NovaRoam Connections and LE s
The rear panel of the NovaRoam has four connectors, one each for the antenna,
DC Power, S-232 serial port, and Ethernet. The Nova oam Ethernet interface
features “auto crossover”, which allows you make Ethernet connections using
either straight or crossover Ethernet cables. The NovaRoam rear panel is shown
in Figure 2.

The front panel of the NovaRoam has five LEDs as shown in Figure 3. The Power
LED denotes that power has been applied and the firmware is loaded. The Tx
LED indicates that a packet is being sent over the wireless interface. The Link
LED indicates the quality of the wireless link. This LED glows at four levels of
brightness; each brighter level indicating a better link. If the LED is off, no
wireless link is established. The x LED indicates that a packet was received

successfully over the wireless link. The Ethernet Link/Act LED indicates if an
Ethernet connection is established and if there is any traffic on the link.
