3. Example Networks
Following are examples of practical networks built around MP devices operating in a mesh.
Network 1
In this network, MP devices have been assigned static IP addresses that are part of the LAN address
space, 192.168.1.xxx.
This means that the MP administration interfaces (LUCI web interface and ssh command line) will
be accessible from any workstation connected to the LAN.
When a workstation is attached to the network either by Ethernet cable or WiFi, it will acquire an IP
address from the router in exactly the same manner as if it was connected directly to the router.
The router address space must be managed so that there is no conflict between the statically
assigned MP addresses and those for any other device on the network. In this example the router
offers DHCP addresses starting at 192.168.1.100, while the MPs have been assigned static
addresses below this range.
Phone calls may e made between MP devices either by dialling the last octet of the required MP
address (e.g. '10'), or by dialling the full address (e.g. '192*168*1*10').
