IMPORTANT
To minimize impact on overall system performance, wireless
AP bandwidth is limited to 5 Mb/s. This is sufficient for
maintenance purposes, but is not sufficient to support normal
wireless carrier operations.
To enable the wireless AP feature on the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER, do the
following steps:
1. Make sure that the
FM-AP
software plug-in is installed on the
radio unit. For instructions on how to install the FM-AP plug-in,
refer to
“Plug-in management procedures” (page 155)
IMPORTANT
If the FM-AP plug-in is not installed on the radio unit,
the
–Fluidmesh WiFi
link will not appear in the left-
hand settings menu.
2. Open the
FLUIDMESH 802.11 INTERFACE
dialog (below) by
clicking the
–Fluidmesh WiFi link
under
ADVANCED SETTINGS
in the left-hand settings menu.
To configure the radio unit as a bridged or routed wireless access point
(AP), do the following steps:
