3.3.2. Unit identification and addressing

Mesh- and bridge-capable radio transceiver identification

CAUTION
This section contains theoretical explanations of the underlying
concepts behind mesh network addressing, and is intended for
use by qualified network engineers only.
Regardless of its configuration and operating mode, every Cisco
radio transceiver is shipped from the factory with a unique unit
identification (ID) number. This number always takes the following form:
5.a.b.c
The triplet a.b.c uniquely identifies the individual physical hardware unit,
and cannot be changed.
The unit ID number is used to identify the physical hardware units within
the configurator interface that is used for configuration of the unit.
A simplified diagram demonstrating the relationship between a wired LAN,
and a linked mesh radio network containing a mesh end unit and mesh
point units, is shown in
