HotPort 3103 Indoor Wireless Mesh Node

Speed, Duplex, and Class of Service Settings
You can configure each Ethernet port for 10 or 100 Mbps speed or for automatic speed negotiation.
Network traffic between a HotPort node and devices connected to its Ethernet ports travels up to full wire
rate (10 or 100 Mbps). Each port can also be configured for full- or half-duplex operation. You can also
assign class of service settings to specific ports to configure the priority levels of these ports/services. Each
port can be assigned a priority of Lo w, Medium, or High. The default priority of each port is Low.
VLANs
You can configure each Ethernet port to operate as part of a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network). A
HotPort wireless mesh can support multiple VLANs. You can assign ports to different VLANs . Only ports
belonging to the same VLAN can switch traffic among themselves. You can define up to 4096 VLAN IDs
and create up to 16 multiple, logically separated VLAN networks within a single mesh. The HotPort mesh
also supports VLAN trunks.
Packet Filteri ng
The HotPort 3103 can filter packets based upon the MAC address of the traffic. You can configure each
Ethernet port to deny or permit access for traffic coming from or to specific devices (identified by the
devices’ MAC addresses).
Radio Modes and Power
HotPort wireless mesh supports 2.4 GHz OFDM and DSSS radio modes as well as 5.0 GHz OFDM. The
selected Radio Mode is applied to the entire wireless mesh. You can use the HotView software to display
and modify the radio transmit (TX) power level for each node.
Transmit Power Control
The HotPort 3103 has the ability to Display/Modify Radio TX Power Level on a per node basis utilizing
the HotView software. The maximum power (i.e., 100%) is a factory configured value that is unique to
each country of operation, each channel of operation, and each antenna configuration and has been
determined to be within an authorized limit. This value cannot be changed. However, using the HotView
software a mesh administrator can set any node to operate at a reduced percentage of this maximum power
(e.g. 75%, 50%, or 25%). The administrator can restore the HotPort to its approved maximum power by
setting the power level back to 100%.

Note: You can only adjust the output power in the following increments 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
These are adjustments to the node radio, so care must be exercised when adjusting on an existing
network as the lowered power level may cause the node to lose connectivity with any other mesh
node.
For example if the maximum FCC-allowed power output for a certain country, channel, and antenna is
17dBm the settings would be:
100% = 17dBm
75% = 16dBm
50% = 14dBm
25% = 11dBm

Note: Adjusting the power incorrectly could have an adverse effect on proper mesh operations.
If you are not sure what the power should be adjusted to it is best to leave at default configuration. If you
need additional technical assistance, please contact your Firetide dealer.
