5. Define the following settings from within the General field:
MeshConnex Policy If adding a new policy, specify a name for the MeshConnex Policy. The name cannot be edited later
with other configuration parameters. Until a viable name is provided, the Settings tab cannot be
enabled for configuration.
Is Root Select the root behavior of this mesh point. Select True to indicate this mesh point is a root node for
this mesh network. Select False to indicate this mesh point is not a root node for this mesh network.
Root Selection Method Use the drop-down menu to determine whether this meshpoint is the root or non-root meshpoint.
Select either None (the default setting) or auto-mint.
Set as Cost Root Select this option to set the mesh point as the cost root for meshpoint root selection. This setting is
disabled by default.
Monitor Critical Resources Enable this feature to allow dynamic conversion of a mesh point from root to non-root when there is
a critical resource failure. This option is disabled by default.
Monitor Primary Port Link Enable this feature to allow dynamic conversion of a mesh point from root to non-root during a link
down event. This option is disabled by default.
Wired Peer Excluded Select this option to exclude a mesh from forming a link with another mesh device that's a wired
peer. This option is disabled by default.
Path Method From the drop-down menu, select the method to use for path selection in a mesh network. The
available options are:
None – Select this to indicate no criteria used in root path selection.
uniform – Select this to indicate that the path selection method is uniform. When selected, two
paths will be considered equivalent if the average value is the same for these paths.
mobile-snr-leaf – Select this if this access point is mounted on a vehicle or a mobile platform
(BR7161 models only). When selected, the path to the route will be selected based on the Signal To
Noise Ratio (SNR) to the neighbor device.
snr-leaf – Select this to indicate the path with the best signal to noise ratio is always selected.
