DO NOT RESTART OR POWER DOWN THE UNIT WHILE UPGRADING THE 
FIRMWARE. RESTARTING OR POWERING DOWN THE UNIT BEFORE THE 
UPGRADE IS COMPLETED MIGHT DAMAGE THE VIDEOMESH UNIT.

When the upgrade is completed, check the upgrade webpage in order to make 
sure that the new firmware version is displayed on the page.

In case the firmware version has not been changed, the upgrade process has 
failed. Therefore, repeat the uploading and upgrading of the update file from the 
beginning.

Advanced settings

The web-based interfaces allows to change internal advanced parameters to set 
the Videomesh unit in non-standard configurations. The advanced settings are 
for expert users only. Anyone that does not fully understand the details of 
Videomesh routing might cause serious malfunctions in the network.

Advanced settings are divided into three categories:

Advanced wireless settings

Advanced routes settings

Advanced interfaces settings

Advanced wireless settings
The   advanced   wireless   settings   page   allows   to   disable   the   automatic   radio 
selection   algorithm   forcing   the   usage   of   a   specific   radio   and   to   change   the 
maximum transmission power of the radios.
Changing   the   maximum   transmission   power   allows   to   comply   with   the   local 
regulations combining antenna gains and transmission power settings.
In some European countries, TCP (Transmission Power Control) must be used 
to comply with local regulations.
