Configuring Mesh Networking
9-17
7.
Select the
Automatic Link Selection
checkbox to allow the access point to select the links
used by the client bridge to populate the mesh network. Selecting this checkbox prohibits
the user from selecting the order base bridges are added to the mesh network when one of
the three associated base bridges becomes unavailable.
8.
Refer to the
Available Base Bridge List
to view devices located by the access point using
the WLAN selected from the Radio Configuration screen. Refer the following for information
on located base bridges:
9.
Click
Refresh
at any time to update the list of available Base Bridge devices available to the
access point.
10. Use the
>>
button to move a selected base bridge MAC address from Available Base Bridge
List.
11. Refer to the
Preferred Base Bridge List
for a prioritized list of base bridges the mesh
network’s client bridge uses to extend the mesh network’s coverage area and potentially
provide redundant links. If a device does not appear on the Available Base Bridge List, there
is no way it can be moved to Preferred Base Bridge List as the device has not yet been
seen
.
NOTE
Auto link selection is based on the RSSI and load. The client bridge will
select the best available link when the
Automatic Link Selection
checkbox is selected. Motorola recommends you do not disable this
option, as (when enabled) the access point will select the best base
bridge for connection.
MAC
The MAC field displays the factory set hard-coded MAC address
that serves as a device identifier.
RSSI
The
Relative Signal Strength Indicator
(RSSI) displays the located
device’s signal strength with the associated access point in client
bridge mode. Use this information as criteria on whether to move a
particular device from the available list to the preferred list.
CHANN
The CHANN displays the name of the channel that both the
access point and base bridge use. A client bridge can only connect
to access points (Base Bridges) on the same channel. If the user
selects multiple base bridges on different channels, the access
point will only be able to connect to those bridges on the same
channel and the others will not be able to join this particular mesh
network.
