Figure 86 Normal AC + fit MP scenario

As shown in

Figure 86

, two mesh networks are controlled by the same AC. At least one MPP in a mesh

has wired connectivity with the AC. When an MP starts up, it scans the network and forms quasi-secure

connections with all available MPs in its vicinity (quasi-secure connections are temporary links with

default or minimum configuration which allows the MP to connect to the AC for downloading its
configurations. Only configuration-related messages are allowed to pass through the links). After

downloading its configurations from the AC, the MP establishes secure connections with neighbors.
In a geographical area that has more than one mesh network deployed, when an MP starts up, it does

not know through which mesh it should connect to the AC, so it forms quasi-secure links with MPs in all
available mesh networks.
