17. Refer to the Settings field to define or override basic mesh settings for the Access Point radio.
NOTE
Only single hop mesh links are supported at this time.
Refer to the Preferred Peer Device table to add mesh peers. For each peer being added enter its
MAC Address and a Priority from 1 - 6. The lower the priority number assigned, the higher the
priority it’s given when connecting to the mesh infrastructure.
18. Select the + Add Row button to add preferred peer devices for the radio to connect to in mesh
mode.
Mesh Use the drop-down to set the mesh mode for this radio. Available options include Disabled, Portal or
Client. Setting the mesh mode to Disabled deactivates all mesh activity on this radio. Setting the mesh
mode to Portal turns the radio into a mesh portal. This will start the radio beaconing immediately and
will accept connections from other mesh nodes. Setting the mesh mode to client enables the radio to
operate as a mesh client that scans and connects to mesh portals or nodes connected to portals.
Mesh Links Specify the number of mesh links allowed by the radio. The radio can have from 1- 6 mesh links when
the radio is configured as a Portal.
Mesh PSK Provide the encryption key in either ASCII or Hex format. Administrators must ensure this key is
configured on the Access Point when staged for mesh, added to the mesh client and to the portal
Access Point’s configuration on the controller or service platform. Select Show to expose the characters
used in the PSK.
