37. For AP2, the IT Team enables both Radio 1 and Radio 2 and defines radio 1 as a client bridge.
38. The IT Team leaves each radio’s Max # Client Bridge setting at the default setting of 12.
This ensures as client bridges are added to the growing mesh network they can be
accounted for.
39. For AP1 and AP2, the IT Team uses the Mesh Network Name drop-down menu to assign
the “ trion mesh ” WLAN to the radio 1 client bridge. This is the WLAN the AP1 and AP2
radios will use to interoperate with the mesh network devices populating the shipping yard.
40. The IT Team decides to not select the Advanced button within the AP1 and AP2 WLAP
Client Bridge Settings field.
NOTE The Trion IT team is aware it is not a good idea to dedicate both radios (of
a dual-radio model AP-5131) to support mesh networking. They know it is
possible to dedicate both radios of a single AP-5131 for mesh support, but
the Trion team wants to dedicate the 802.11b/g radio for MU operation
and the 802.11a radio for backhaul support. For AP2, the Trion team will
create two connections to AP1 (one over the 802.11b/g radio and one over
the 802.11a radio). The connection used for forwarding data for AP2 will
be the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.11a radio will be dedicated for client
bridge backhaul.
