3.2 Addressing in a Fluidmesh Wireless Network
Every Fluidmesh unit comes with a factory-set unique IP address for the wireless
interfaces in the flowing format:
5.
a
.
b
.
c
The value of
a
,
b
and
c
are unique for every Fluidmesh unit manufactured and they
form the Fluidmesh
primary serial number
. This
wireless IP
cannot be changed by
the user and it is independent from the mode of operation: it does not change if the
unit is in camera/relay or gateway mode.
At the same time, every Fluidmesh has different IP addresses for the different wired
Ethernet interfaces. The way these addresses are assigned changes if the router is in
camera/relay or gateway mode.
Camera/relay mode:
In camera/relay mode, all the IP addresses are assigned to
the router. The IP address of the router cannot be changed. The IP addresses of the
cameras attached to the router can be changed in the advanced interface settings.
The default IP addresses are assigned according to the following convention.
The first Ethernet interface gets the following network settings:
IP Address:
1.0.0.1
Netmask:
255.0.0.0
The second Ethernet interface gets the following network settings:
IP Address:
2.0.0.1
Netmask:
255.0.0.0
In order to work properly with a Fluidmesh unit in camera/relay mode, every IP
camera or video-server needs to be properly configured according to the following
scheme.
