15. Refer to the Settings field to define mesh settings for the Access Point radio.
NOTE
Only single hop mesh links are supported at this time.
NOTE
The mesh encryption key is configurable from the Command Line Interface (CLI) using the command
'
mesh psk
'. Administrators must ensure that this key is configured on the AP when it is being staged
for mesh, and also added to the mesh client as well as to the portal APs configuration on the
controller or service platform.
Mesh Use the drop-down menu to set the mesh mode for this radio. Available options are 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
accept connections from other mesh nodes. Setting the mesh mode to client enables the radio to
operate as a mesh client and scan and connect to mesh portals or nodes connected to portals.
Mesh Links Specify the number of mesh links allowed by the radio. The radio can have between 1-6 mesh links
when the radio is configured as a Portal or Client.
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.
