• principal: The unit will be set as the center unit within a
• SUBORDINATE: The unit will be set as a subordinate unit
• OFF: The FluidMAX engine will be disabled.
3.
If the operating mode is set to principal or SUBORDINATE, enter
a unique cluster ID tag in the FluidMAX Cluster ID field.
4.
If the operating mode is set to SUBORDINATE, check the
FluidMAX Autoscan check-box to allow the principal unit of the
local mesh cluster to dictate the frequency on which the unit will
transmit and receive.
5.
If the FluidMAX Autoscan check-box is checked, the Include
5-10 MHz Channels in Autoscan check-box will become
available. Check this check-box to increase the scan resolution
from the default of 20, 40 or 80 MHz to 5-10 MHz.
6.
Click the Save button to save your settings. Alternatively, clear
the settings by clicking the Cancel button.
Using the Max TX Power setting
This setting controls the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) output of
the unit. By default, EIRP is automatically regulated using Fluidmesh's
Transmission Power Control (TPC) algorithm. The algorithm tries to obtain
an optimal link signal strength of approximately -55 dBm on both sides of
the radio link while not exceeding the user-defined maximum transmission
power threshold.

within a mesh cluster featuring a 'star' topology. If the unit
is set as a Subordinate, and its Autoscan feature is
enabled, the unit will scan the spectrum of available
frequencies for a principal unit that shares its Cluster ID,
and its frequency selection feature will be disabled.
NOTE
Under normal circumstances, leave the Include 5-10
MHz Channels in Autoscan check-box unchecked.
