Wireless Mesh Configuration
Introduction
Wireless mesh provides a method for multinodes to communicate with each other; to
extend the Basic Service Set (BSS) of a single access point (multinode), and to connect
two or more separate LANs without cabling. The multinode contains a second WLAN
card which is used to set up the independent wireless mesh/network connection. The
multinode supports three common network types:
1. Point-to-point network of two Ethernet links
2. Point-to-multipoint network of several Ethernet links
3. Repeater mode
The following sections describe the configuration options that are available to set up your
network in the Multinode Configuration Tool screens.
Setting up wireless networks
provides typical configurations and procedures for setting up the various network types.
Wireless Mesh screens
The screens that you need to modify when setting up a wireless network are in the Wire-
less Mesh section of the navigation bar in the Multinode Configuration Tool. These
screens include:
•
Wireless Mesh - General
•
Wireless Mesh - Radio
•
Wireless Mesh - Encryption
•
Wireless Mesh - MAC Address Filtering (when Auto Mesh is selected.)
General screen
The Wireless Mesh - General screen shown in Figure 8 contains wireless mesh in-
formation. This page is important in setting up the mesh/network configuration. Wireless
mesh supports two modes of operation:
Auto-forming wireless mesh ( Auto Mesh ) - Auto Mesh mode enables the multinode to
search for beacons from other wireless meshs/networks and identifies multinodes that
match configuration settings such as SSID and channel number. A three-way association
handshake between the wireless networks is performed to control network access to the
mesh. The maximum number links that a multinode will allow when forming the mesh
