Setting up wireless networks

Step
MAC Address filtering and filter type works as follows:
•
When Filtering is enabled and the Filter Type is Deny All Except Those
Listed Below, only those devices equipped with the authorized MAC
addresses will be able to communicate with this mesh node. In this case,
input the MAC addresses of all the PC cards that will be authorized to
access this mesh node. The MAC address is engraved or printed on the
PC (PCMCIA) card.
•
When Filtering is enabled and the Filter Type is Allow All Except Those
Listed Below, any device with a MAC address which has been entered in
the MAC Address list will not be able to communicate with this mesh node.
In this case, navigate to the report: Wireless Clients and copy the MAC
address of any wireless client that you want to exclude from
communication with the mesh node and then add those MAC Addresses to
the MAC Address list.

Enter a MAC Address with a note to the MAC Address and Note fields and
click Add to add it to the MAC Address List at the bottom of the screen.
Note that communication with the mesh nodes containing these MAC
addresses entered in this field depends upon the Filter Type selected above.
Setting up wireless networks
Multinodes configured to operate as access points can also be setup to operate in a mesh
network. These multinodes require additional configuration. If the multinode is to be
used only as a bridge, some settings made during access point setup may not be
necessary.
You can set up a multinode to operate in a mesh network during initial configuration.
See Setup on page 37 for more information. The Wireless Mesh screens allow you to
setup the multinode to operate in a wireless mesh network. These screens include the
Wireless Mesh General, Radio, Encryption and MAC Address Filtering screens
The following sections describe the setup for three types of network configuration: Point-
to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint and Repeater.
NOTE: To set up a mesh network, which is most commonly used in OneWireless
networks, use the settings for Auto Mesh for the Point to Multipoint network.
