Example #1
Figure 65 - Mesh Fixed Route#1
The Network Diagram above shows a basic network where all remote sites (2, 3 & 4)
communicate back to Site #1 using Mesh Fixed Routes. Normally a meshing network
will automatically learn the routes within a network and setup appropriate
communication paths to the destination. In some instances it may require you to fix the
radio path If a radio path is not available it will re-route its way through the mesh and
locate a path. A Mesh Fixed Route as the name states is a route that is fixed, and it will
only communicate via this path regardless of the signal quality. When Setting up Mesh
Fixed Routes each site that is being mapped to will require a route to be configured for
the Destination and the Next address.
Figure 68 - Mesh Fixed Route - Rep Site #2 show the Mesh Fixed Routing Rules in the
Gateway for the network diagram in Figure 65.
Entry #1 it shows the Destination IP Address will be 10.0.0.2 (Rep Site#2) and its Next
address will be itself (10.0.0.2), it is only 1 hop
and the ”IP Gateway” and “External” are
un ticked as the destination will be the local I/O on 10.0.0.2.
Entry #2 is similar to Entry #1 except the destination address is 10.0.0.3 and the
number of hops is 2. The Next address is 10.0.0.2 as all communications will pass
through Rep Site #2.
Entry #3 is also similar to Entry #1&2 except the destination address is 10.0.0.4 and the
number of hops is 3. The Next address will be the same as the other two routes
because all communications will pass through 10.0.0.2
