Configuring mesh networking support
9
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration from the access point menu
tree.
2. Refer to the Radio Function parameter to ensure the radio has been designated for WLAN
Radio support.
NOTE
With this 4.0 release of the access point firmware, a new scheme for radio configuration and
WIPS server management has been implemented within the Quick Setup GUI applet. Up to
eight radio buttons are now available (depending on the number radios supported by the SKU).
These radio buttons define how WLAN and WIPS are supported amongst the radios available to
the access point. The options available depend strictly on the SKU supported. For information
on configuring a radio for WLAN and WIPS support see
Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct
802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration
screen, the Radio Status and MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a
mesh network, these values update in real-time.
3. Select the Base Bridge checkbox to allow the access point radio to accept client bridge
connections from other access points in client bridge mode. The base bridge is the acceptor of
mesh network data from those client bridges within the mesh network and never the initiator.
CAUTION
A problem could arise if a Base Bridge’s Indoor channel is not available on an Outdoor Client
Bridge's list of available channels. As long as an Outdoor Client Bridge has the Indoor Base
Bridge channel in its available list of channels, it can associate to the Base Bridge.
