5.4.5.10.1Vehicle Mounted Modem (VMM) Deployment Consideration
Mesh Point Configuration
Before defining a VMM configuration (mounting an AP7161 mesh point on a moving vehicle), refer to the following deployment
guidelines to ensure the configuration is optimally effective:
• Disable layer 2 stateful packet inspection from the firewall policy.
Path Method Root Path Metric
Configure the channel width that mesh point automatic channel scan should assign to the
selected radio. The available options are:
• Automatic – Indicates the channel width is calculated automatically. This is the
default value.
• 20 MHz – Indicates the width between two adjacent channels is 20 MHz.
• 40 MHz – Indicates the width between two adjacent channels is 40 MHz.
• 80 MHz – Indicates the width between tow adjacent channels is 80 MHz. This is only
available on access points that support 802.11ac.
Configure the mesh point to be monitored for automatic channel scan. This is the mesh
point that given priority over other available mesh points. When configured, a mesh is
created with this mesh point. When not configured, a mesh point is automatically
selected. The default is <none>.
Configure the minimum path metric value for a mesh connection. Set a value between
100 - 20,000.
Configure a minimum threshold value for triggering an automatic channel selection for
mesh point selection. Set a value in between 800 - 65535.
Configure the time duration in seconds to wait before triggering a automatic channel
selection for the next hop.
Configure the number of scans to be performed for data collection before a mesh point
root is selected. Set a value between 1 - 10 scans.
Configure the duration in the range of 20 - 250 milliseconds for the Off Channel Duration
field when scanning for mesh point root. This is the duration that the scan dwells on each
channel when performing an off channel scan. The default is 50 milliseconds
Configure the delta value in dBm in the range 5 - 35 dBm which when crossed triggers a
mesh point root automatic channel selection.
Configure the duration in seconds between two consecutive Off Channel Scans for mesh
point root. Set a duration between 1 - 60 seconds.
Configure the minimum duration to stay on a selected channel before the channel
conditions are reassessed for a possible channel change for mesh point root. Set a value
between 0 - 1440 minutes. Set this value to 'Zero' (0) to prevent a automatic channel
selection from happening.
