Before you permanently install
10
a.
Select the country of operation from the drop-down list.
b.
Click
Set Country Code Now
.
The node reboots. When you set the country code the system refreshes the
mesh configuration and gives all visible nodes the same country code. For a
few minutes the mesh nodes might appear and disappear from the graphic
mesh record in HotView Pro.
c.
Wait for three minutes for the system to finish the refresh.
d.
Login with the correct user name and password. The default user
name is hv_admin; and the default password is firetide.
The system initializes.
e.
Go to
Mesh > Add Mesh >
login with the default user name and
password.
10.
To configure mesh-wide settings, go to
Mesh > Configure Mesh...
-
Set the operational mode as needed.
-
Set the extended range feature if the distance between the mesh
nodes is more than 0.8 km (0.5 mile). To determine the longest link,
you measure the distance between the mesh nodes on a map, such as
Google Earth.
-
Set the multi-hop optimization feature if there might be hidden node
interference.
Note:
For information about specific features and the configuration process, see
the
HotView Pro Product Reference Guide
.
11.
Right-click a specific mesh node to configure mesh node-specific settings if
needed.
Check network throughput from end to end and for each link with wired
clients and then with several wireless clients.
Note:
If you are not able to get the mesh to send and receive data, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 33.
12.
If this node will have a long RF path or if you use narrow beamwidth antennas
in the installation, set the mesh RSSI threshold to be -93 dBm.
Note:
This RSSI change prevents mesh instability because of flapping links.
13.
After you finish the tests, remove the staging antennas.
Caution!
The staging antennas are not rated for outdoor use.
You are now ready to permanently install the mesh nodes.
