Mesh loop
Mesh loop is a condition that occurs where data is transmitted circularly between
multinodes in a mesh network. For example, three multinodes are operating in a mesh
network. Device data from a field device is received by one multinode which is then
passed to the second multinode and then the third multinode, because all three
multinodes are meshed together. It is possible that the device data could be passed on to
the first multinode again creating a loop. Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol will prevent
mesh loops from occurring.
Monitor Linked Nodes button
The Monitor Linked Nodes button in the upper right-hand corner of the Wireless Mesh
- General screen allows you to view a pop-up window (Wireless Mesh Information). It
shows the signal strength of all nodes linked to this multinode. Select Enable refesh, you
can set the mesh refresh interval from 5 seconds to 30 minutes. Refreshing the screen
allows you to see the effect when aiming the antenna to improve signal strength. The
signal can be trended for each node.
Monitor All Nodes button
The Monitor All Nodes button in the upper right-hand corner of the Wireless Mesh -
General screen allows you to view a pop-up window (Wireless Mesh Information). It
shows the signal strength of all nodes detected by this multinode. Select Enable refesh,
you can set the mesh refresh interval from 5 seconds to 30 minutes. Refreshing the screen

(Remote AP's MAC address). This wireless
mesh link becomes the guiding port
indicated as a signal in the WLANSS LED
on the front of the multinode.
'Not Assigned' is the default. No signal
indication of any multinode will be indicated
when option is set to 'Not Assigned.'
Enable/Disable Sets the Spanning Tree Protocol for this
node.
Enable STP if there is any possiblity that a
mesh loop could occur. If there is no
possibility that a mesh loop will occur, then
disable STP. Bridge communications is
faster when STP is disabled.
