There are two ways to install and setup the VMM6300 and the VMM7300 devices: MeshManager or
the MOTOMESH Device Administration web interface.
Between the two available setup methods, MeshManager is the preferred and comprehensive device
setup, configuration, and management application. Prior to using the MeshManager for device
installation and configuration, ensure that it is installed and running on a network computer.
MeshManager will be used during the VMM setup process to validate the installation of the device and
to manage it, (as well as other devices) within the wireless network. It is important to note that a fully
functional mesh network is REQUIRED when using this method.
The MOTOMESH Device Administration web interface can be used to setup and configure the device
by connecting a PC to the wired interface. Please note that the web interface does not offer all the
features that are provided within the MeshManager application. Additional web interface information
is provided later in the manual.
Detailed information about the MeshManager application is found in the MOTOMESH MeshManager
Users Guide.
