Deploying a Smart Mesh Network
131
NXA-WAPZD1000 ZoneDirector Smart WLAN Controller
Repeat Steps 1 to 3 for each AP that you want to be part of your wireless mesh network. After you complete
provisioning and deploying all mesh nodes, verify that the wireless mesh has been set up successfully.
Step 4: Verify That the Wireless Mesh Network Is Up
After you complete deploying all mesh nodes to their locations on the network, you can check the Map View
on the Browser-Based Configuration Pages to verify that mesh associations have been established and mesh
trees formed.
1.
In the Browser-Based Configuration Pages, select Monitor > Map View. The Map View appears and
shows the mesh nodes that are currently active. (For instructions on importing a map, please refer to the
Importing a Floorplan Image section on page 77.)
2.
Check if all the mesh nodes that you have provisioned and deployed appear on the Map View.
3.
Verify that a mesh network has been formed by checking if dotted lines appear between the mesh nodes
(FIG. 55). These dotted lines identify the neighbor relationships that have been established in the current
mesh network.
After an AP in its factory default state has been provisioned, you need to reboot it to
enable mesh capability.
If your mesh spans multiple NXA-WAPZD1000s, it is possible for a node to be
associated to a different device than its parent or children.
