16 If Smart Mesh is enabled (see “Deploying a Wireless Mesh via ZoneDirector” ),
the
Advanced Options
section lets you define the role this AP should play in
the mesh network--Auto, Root AP, Mesh AP, or Disable (default is Auto ). In most
cases, Ruckus Wireless recommends leaving this setting on
Auto
to reduce the
risk of isolating a Mesh AP. Select Disable if you do not want this AP to be part
of your mesh network.
17 If this AP is a Mesh AP and you want to manually set which APs can serve as
its uplinks, select the
Manual radio button under Advanced Options > Uplink
Selection
(default is
Smart
). The other APs in the mesh appear below the
selection.
18 Select the check box next to each AP that you want to allow the current AP to
use as an uplink.
NOTE: If you set Uplink Selection for an AP to Manual and the uplink AP that you
selected is off or unavailable, the AP status on the Monitor > Access Points page
will appear as
Isolated Mesh AP . See Troubleshooting Isolated Mesh APs for more
information.

19 If you select
Override Group Config
in the Port Setting section, a new section
opens where you can customize the Ethernet port behavior for this AP. Enabling
this will override the AP Group settings made on
Configuring AP Ethernet Ports .
