Operating the unit in Mesh Point mode or Mesh End mode

If the Cisco FM4500 Mobi radio transceiver unit is installed as part of a
mesh network architecture, it can be set to operate in either of two
operating modes:
• Mesh Point Mode: This is the default operating mode. Each radio
transceiver unit that is part of the network, but is not connected to
the wired LAN backbone, must be set in Mesh Point mode.
• Mesh End Mode: Each radio transceiver unit that is part of the
network and is connected to the wired LAN backbone must be set
in Mesh End Mode. A Mesh End transceiver unit is always the
junction point between the wireless network and any IP-based wired
network.
