IMPORTANT
The Data Packet Encryption setting must be the same on all
Fluidmesh units that are part of the same network.
In Fluidmesh devices, AES is applied using a proprietary encoding
algorithm, enabling industry-grade network security.
IMPORTANT
The AES feature must be enabled using a software plug-in
(Fluidmesh part number FM-AES). Contact your Fluidmesh
Networks representative for details.
To use the Data Packet Encryption setting, do the following steps:
1.
Click the Data Packet Encryption drop-down menu.
2.
Choose the correct encryption activation setting from the list of
drop-down options.
3.
Click the Save button to save your settings. Alternatively, clear
the settings by clicking the Cancel button.
Using the Maximum link length setting
This setting is used to set the maximum distance between the relevant

steps:
1.
Choose the unit of distance measurement (Kilometres or Miles)
by clicking the correct radio button.
2.
Enter a distance setting in the Distance field.
3.
Click the Save button to save your settings. Alternatively, clear

Device configuration using the configurator interface
NOTE
If Fluidmesh plug-in FM-AES is not installed, the
ENABLED drop-down option will not be available.
IMPORTANT
If too short a distance value is entered, unnecessary
packet re-transmissions may occur, degrading overall
link performance.
