Connecting and configuring an Ethernet edge device
Ethernet edge devices such as IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points can
be connected to the Ethernet ports of the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER. Such
edge devices must be configured using the IP subnet scheme defined for
the broadcast domain.
The default
IP subnet mask
for all Fluidmesh devices is
192.168.0.0 /
255.255.255.0
.
The default
IP address
for all Fluidmesh devices is
192.168.0.10 /
255.255.255.0
.
You can configure any Ethernet device manually or automatically, using a
DHCP server that resides on the LAN network. The Fluidmesh network is
totally transparent to DHCP, therefore, DHCP requests and responses can
be forwarded transparently across the network.
IMPORTANT
If an Ethernet-based system using multiple peripheral
components is connected to the wireless network, assign each
peripheral component a fixed IP address. If dynamic IP
addressing is used, the components may not be accessible to
third-party software that relies on the components for data
input.
A typical example is a video surveillance system equipped with
multiple CCTV cameras. Each camera must be assigned a
fixed IP address to be accessible to the video-recording
software.
Fluidmesh radio transceivers
A wide variety of Ethernet edge devices, such as IP cameras and Wi-Fi
access points, can be connected to the Ethernet ports of the Fluidmesh
4200 FIBER. You can configure any Ethernet device manually or
automatically by using a DHCP server that resides on the LAN network.
The Fluidmesh network is totally transparent to DHCP. Therefore, DHCP
requests and responses can be forwarded transparently across the
network.
IMPORTANT
If a video surveillance system is connected to the wireless
network, assign each camera a fixed IP address. If dynamic IP
addressing is used, the cameras may not be accessible to the
video-recording software.
