MESH CONFIGURATION TABLE 
 
KBC recommends that a spreadsheet of the mesh system be kept on hand for 
reference. A worksheet providing all of the default settings is included in the shipment. 
These settings along with any changes should be kept and tracked in a format similar to 
the example provided below:

Other notes and settings can be important to record in the spreadsheet. The above 
example shows various types of KBC Mesh nodes implemented into a system. The “not 
applicable” notations under the WiFi-1 indicate that those two nodes are single-radio 
and do not have a WiFi-1 setting. Node # 13 set as Mesh/AP mode is to show a node 
set to AP mode for the secondary radio. The SSID and Password set for that AP should 
also be included in the spreadsheet.
