Figure 67 Mesh Configuration
Enable IP Gateway
Mode
Enabling this option will allow communicating modules access to an external Ethernet
Network if connected. The IP address range is configured by clicking
Network
on
the menu. Care should be taken when enabling this option as it can increase overall
network traffic. By default, this option is not selected (off) and should remain off unless
there is an Ethernet network connected and other devices on the radio network need
to communicate through this module to the external Ethernet network. All traffic for the
external network must be routed through this IP address.
Link Quality
Threshold
The radio will use this threshold level when establishing a mesh link with other radios in
the system. It represents a 0–100% level of link quality (100 being the best). If the link
quality is lower than the threshold, the link will be ignored. Link quality can be monitored
on the Connectivity webpage. If the link quality is lower than this threshold, mesh routes
will not be assigned over this link. Default value is 35.
Receive Signal
Strength Threshold
The radio uses this threshold level when establishing a mesh link with other radios in
the system. When establishing a mesh, the radio sends a broadcast message and then
monitors the signal strength from all nodes that respond. If any of the signal levels are
below the Receive Signal Strength Threshold, the mesh link will be ignored. The default
threshold is –100 dBm, and is used in conjunction with the Link Quality Threshold.
