Introduction
SNAP CONNECT E10 OVERVIEW
The SNAP®Connect E10 (shown in Figure 1-1) is a rugged and powerful embedded
connectivity appliance built to interface directly with SNAP mesh networks.
Figure 1-1: The SNAP Connect E10
The E10 can fill several roles:
It can provide connectivity between SNAP Wireless Nodes and TCP/IP networks such
as the Internet
It can participate as a SNAP Node itself (with SNAPpy scripting, RPCs)
It can be the application platform for your control and monitoring application (Linux)

Easy-To-Use
Technology
For many applications, the E10 requires little or no setup. The E10 ships pre-configured to:

radio rate, radio channel, network ID, and encryption settings.
Automatically accept incoming TCP/IP connections from other devices running SNAP
Connect.
User configuration is only required if you want to change from these default settings, or if
you want to connect to additional networks over TCP/IP.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual provides information specifically regarding the SNAP Connect E10 and
covers topics such as:
Initial setup
Port usage (e.g., using the micro-USB serial port, Ethernet port, and USB host port)
Common applications
Recovery processes that are specific to this product
The author assumes that:
You have read and understood the SNAP Primer (or are otherwise familiar with the
SNAP product line).
You have installed the Portal software.
You are familiar with the basics of discovering nodes, uploading SNAPpy scripts to
them, and controlling and monitoring them from Portal.
Other Important Documentation
The E10 is typically running Synapse's SNAP Connect software internally. Be aware that
SNAP Connect has its own dedicated user manual. You will likely need to refer to that
manual as well because generic information on SNAP Connect is not repeated here.
All of our documentation is available for free download on our dedicated support forum.

If you bought standalone modules (instead of buying a kit), you may also want to download
the latest version of the EK2500 and EK2100 user guides.
When the Manuals Are Not Enough
The dedicated support forum offers more than just user documentation. In this forum, you
can also view questions and answers posted by other users (as well as post your own
questions for discussion). The forum also has examples and application notes available for
you to download. You may also download the latest SNAP, Portal, E10, and SNAP
Connect software from the forum.

Network Application Examples
The following pages offer some high-level examples of how the E10 can be used. Of
course, these are just a few examples. Many other network configurations and applications
are possible.
EXAMPLE 1: COMBINING DISPARATE NETWORKS
By acting as a bridge between the wireless and Ethernet networks, E10s allow SNAP
networks located in separate geographical locations to act as a single large network.
The SNAP subnets to be joined might be located in different parts of a building (as
depicted in Figure 2-1), located across town (Figure 2-2 on page 12), or located across the
country (Figure 2-3 on page 13).
