Interfaces

Mesh

Mesh functionality can be enabled on only one of the AP’s wireless interfaces. When configured for Mesh, the AP’s

wireless interface simultaneously functions as a Mesh link and as a radio to service clients.

CAUTION: Mesh mis-configuration may cause problems in your wireless network. Before configuring an interface for

Mesh functionality, see Mesh Network Configuration.

Basic Mesh Parameters

Figure 4-21 Basic Mesh Parameters

Configure the following basic parameters for Mesh functionality, and click OK.

NOTE: Changes to these parameters require a reboot in order to take effect.

• Mesh Mode: Use this drop down menu to enable/disable Mesh functionality on a wireless interface. When Mesh

Mode is set to Disable, all other parameters on this tab will be grayed out. To enable Mesh functionality, choose one

of the following:

– Mesh Portal: Choose this option if the AP will be connected directly to the wired backbone.

– Mesh AP: Choose this option if the AP will connect to the portal and backbone wirelessly.

NOTE: Proxim recommends enabling Auto Channel Select when configuring an AP as a Mesh AP. Auto Channel

Select is configured on the Wireless A or Wireless B page. See Wireless-A (802.11a) and Wireless-B

(802.11b/g Radio) for more information.

• Mesh Radio: Select the wireless interface on which to enable Mesh functionality. Select Wireless Interlace A

(802.11a radio) or Wireless Interface B (802.11b/g radio).

• Mesh SSID: Enter a unique Mesh Network Name (SSID) between 1 and 16 characters.

NOTE: Do not use quotation marks (single or double) in the Network Name; this will cause the AP to misinterpret the

name.
