Multinode and Mesh Network Tuning
This section contains information on making adjustments to multinode parameters when
conducting a site survey of an installed wireless network. Although a site survey was
conducted during the planning phase to determine the optimal location of multinodes and
WSGs to create a wireless network, once the multinodes have been installed in their
designated locations a site survey should be conducted to measure the performance of the
wireless network and make adjustments or tune the mesh network for the best possible
and reliable wireless communication.
The Network Management and Diagnostics tool also can provide realtime feedback on
network performance. See the OneWireless System Administration Guide for a
description of the NMD tool.
Monitoring signal strength
The multinode configuration tool application contains a tool that can be used to monitor
the received signal strength of all wireless devices it can detect. The tool should be used
during the site-survey and during multinode deployment for optimal antenna positioning.
To access the monitoring tool:
Step
1
Open Internet Explorer and access the multinode's configuration tool by
typing the URL for the multinode in the address line:
Where: ip address is the IP address of the multinode.
2
From the sign-in screen, type your username and password and then click
Sign In.
3
From the left pane of the Multinode Configuration Tool, click
Monitoring/Reports > Adjacent AP List.
