After the AP has been provisioned, disconnect it from the wired network, unplug
the power cable, and then move the device to its deployment location.
•
If you want the AP to be a Root AP, reconnect it to the wired network using
one of its Ethernet ports, and then power it on. When the AP detects
ZoneDirector again through its Ethernet port, it will set itself as a Root AP,
and then it will start accepting mesh association requests from Mesh APs.
•
If you want the AP to be a Mesh AP, power it on but do not reconnect it to
the wired network. When it does not detect ZoneDirector through its Ethernet
port within 90 seconds, it will search for other Root APs or Mesh APs and,
once mesh neighbor relationships are established, form a mesh tree.
NOTE:
After an AP in its factory default state has been provisioned, you need to
reboot it to enable mesh capability.
NOTE:
If you are located in the United States and have a DFS-capable AP that is
expected to serve as a Root AP (or eMAP), with a non-DFS-capable Mesh AP as
its downlink, you will need to set the channel for the Root AP to one of the non-DFS
channels. Specifically, choose one of the following channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, 149,
153, 157, 161, 165. This is due to the DFS-capable AP’s ability to use more channels
than the non-DFS-capable AP, which could result in the RAP choosing a channel
that is not available to the MAP. Alternatively, go to Configure > System > Country
Code, and set the Channel Optimization setting to “Optimize for Compatibility.”
Repeat Steps 1 to 3 for each AP that you want to be part of your wireless mesh
network. After you complete provisioning and deploying all mesh nodes, verify that
the wireless mesh has been set up successfully.
Step 4: Verify That the Wireless Mesh Network Is Up
After you complete deploying all mesh nodes to their locations on the network, you
can check the Map View on the ZoneDirector web interface to verify that mesh
associations have been established and mesh trees formed.
1
On the Zone Director web interface, click the
Monitor
tab, and then click
Map
View
on the menu. The Map View appears and shows the mesh nodes that are
currently active. (See
Importing a Map View Floorplan Image
importing a map.)
2
Check if all the mesh nodes that you have provisioned and deployed appear on
the Map View.
