Configuring Mesh Networking
9-15
Refer to
RF Band of Operation
parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct
802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio
Configuration screen, the
Radio Status
and
MUs connected
values update. If this is an
existing radio within a mesh network, these values update in real-time.
3.
Select the
Base Bridge
checkbox to allow the access point radio to accept client bridge
connections from other access points in client bridge mode. The base bridge is the acceptor
of mesh network data from those client bridges within the mesh network and never the
initiator.
4.
If the Base Bridge checkbox has been selected, use the
Max# Client Bridges
parameter
to define the client bridge load on a particular base bridge.
The maximum number of client bridge connections per access point radio is 12, with 24
representing the maximum for dual-radio models.
Once the settings within the Radio Configuration screen are applied (for an initial
deployment), the current number of client bridge connections for this specific radio displays
within the
CBs Connected
field. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, this
value updates in real-time.
NOTE
With this 4.0 release of the access point firmware, a new scheme for
radio configuration and WIPS server management has been implemented
within the Quick Setup GUI applet. Up to eight radio buttons are now
available (depending on the number radios supported by the SKU). These
radio buttons define how WLAN and WIPS are supported amongst the
radios available to the access point. The options available depend strictly
on the SKU supported. For information on configuring a radio for WLAN
and WIPS support see
Basic Configuration on page 3-4
.
CAUTION
A problem could arise if a Base Bridge’s Indoor channel is not
available on an Outdoor Client Bridge's list of available channels. As
long as an Outdoor Client Bridge has the Indoor Base Bridge channel
in its available list of channels, it can associate to the Base Bridge.
CAUTION
An access point in Base Bridge mode logs out whenever a Client
Bridge associates to the Base Bridge over the LAN connection. This
problem is not experienced over the access point’s WAN connection. If
this situation is experienced, log-in to the access point again.
