4. Network Planning
4.1 Installation topology
The basic MESH Network topology can be planned as following.
[Optional]
RADIUS Server
MLRD Server
Router
Ethernet Switch
DHCP Server
802.11b/g
Mobile User
Mesh Relay
Mesh Relay
Mesh Gateway
1. The MAP-2100 can be configured either a gateway or a relay via web interface. The basic service set
can be one Mesh gateway and one or two Mesh relays.
2. The Internet connection is required if the mesh network planned to provide the connectivity for Internet
for all the mobile users.
3. RADIUS server or MLRD (Mobile Location Register Daemon) server are optional servers that vary on
the installation site.
Each MAP-2100 support up to 250 user registration, the basic set above then can support 750 users
registration. To expand the network coverage, simply just base on the real network environment to add on
the new Mesh Relay or Mesh Gateway.
Note
The MAP-2100 supports 250-user registration; however, the overall network
performance may vary on the real environment and application in many
aspects, such as the bandwidth to the Internet, the services / sessions that the
clients implement.
