NETWORK DESIGN AND TROUBLESHOOTING
NETWORK PHYSICAL LAYOUT
The Wzzard Mesh network is extremely robust and reliable when you follow a few simple rules.
1. Each node should have a line of site path to 3 other nodes or to the gateway. 2 of these should be in
the direction closer to the gateway if possible. In the small example network above, only nodes 5 and
6 violate this rule. The outermost nodes may not have a third node to connect to, but they do have 2
good “Parents” in their path back to the gateway.
2. You should be able to picture at least two paths from any one node to the gateway.
3. Each path should be as short as possible. Less than 100m indoors with lots of metal or walls. Less
than 300m outdoors with no obstructions.
4. No node’s data should have to go through more than 7 other nodes before reaching the gateway. 8
hops is the maximum allowed by the network.
5. It’s best to build the network from the gateway out where possible. The more nodes that attach
directly to the gateway, the less traffic that has to flow through a single node. The small example
network above has two nodes that connect directly to the gateway. For larger networks, this number
should be higher.
No RF site survey is necessary. The SmartMesh IP network will automatically adjust frequencies between
channels when RF conditions change.
As nodes are added to the network, they will automatically join the network and the paths will be re-
optimized for reliable communication
SmartWorx Hub provides several features for troubleshooting your Wzzard Mesh network, individual
nodes, and individual I/O points.
