Configuring Mesh Networking

9-31

5.

The Trion IT department then selects

Network Configuration

->

LAN -> trion

from the

AP-5131 menu tree.

6.

The IT team selects the

Mesh STP Configuration

button on the bottom of the screen.

7.

The Trion IT department leaves the

Priority

setting to at 32768 for AP3 and AP4 for both to

defer to AP1 (which was assigned a priority of 1 for root designation) as the AP-5131
defining the mesh network configuration.

The remainder of the Mesh STP Configuration settings are left unchanged from their default
values. The team clicks

OK

from within the Mesh STP Configuration screen and

Apply

from

within the trion (LAN1) screen to save the settings.

The Trion IT team now intends to assign WLANs (to use with the trion LAN) that can be
dedicated to their mesh network within the shipping yard.

8.

The team selects

Network Configuration

->

Wireless

from the AP-5131 menu tree.

The

Wireless Configuration

screen displays with those existing WLANs displayed within

the table. Since this is Trion’s first deployment for AP3 and AP4, the IT department
determines the existing default WLAN should be left as is, and a new WLAN should be
configured closely resembling the mesh network WLAN defined for AP1 and AP2.
