Symbol Technologies AP-5131 - Manual (Page 503)

Configuring Mesh Networking 9-7
Verify the enabled LAN is named appropriately in respect to its intended function in
supporting the mesh network.
3. Select Network Configuration -> LAN -> LAN1 or LAN2 from the AP-5131 menu
tree.
4. Click the Mesh STP Configuration button on the bottom off the screen.
5. Define the properties for the following parameters within the mesh network:
Priority Set the Priority as low as possible for a to force other devices
within the mesh network to defer to this client bridge as the bridge
defining the mesh configuration (commonly referred to as the root).
Symbol recommends assigning a Base Bridge AP with the lowest
bridge priority so it becomes the root in the STP. If a root already
exists, set the Bridge Priorities of new APs accordingly so the root
of the STP doesn't get altered. Each AP-5131 starts with a default
bridge priority of 32768.

Age timer. The Message Age timer is used to measure the age of
the received protocol information recorded for a port, and to ensure
the information is discarded when it exceeds the value set for the
Maximum Message age timer.
