Network addressing

Cisco radio transceivers

Cisco data link layer (layer 2) addressing allows you to configure
each Cisco FM1200 Volo transceiver unit, and each IP device connected
to the unit, according to the IP address class used in the private LAN to
which the Mesh End unit is connected.
Each Cisco radio transceiver unit has a factory-set IP address of
192.168.0.10, and a Netmask of 255.255.255.0.
NOTE
Each individual Cisco radio transceiver unit has a factory-set
5.a.b.c Mesh identification number. Each unit is shipped
from the factory with the same IP address, but with a unique
Mesh identification number.
When a Cisco wireless network is connected to a wired LAN, the LAN
is usually the private control room LAN. Therefore, Cisco radio
transceivers, and all other edge devices that connect the wireless network
to the wired LAN, must be assigned individual LAN IP addresses that are
part of the same subnet. The edge devices will be accessed using those
IP addresses.
A typical network configuration (Cisco Network Addressing) is shownin
"Operating the unit in Mesh Point mode or Mesh End mode" (page
this configuration, the private LAN IP address class is 192.168.150.0,
with net mask 255.255.255.0. Note that each device has an IP
addressbelonging to this subnet.
IMPORTANT
IP addresses must not be duplicated within a network. If
addresses are duplicated, IP address conflicts will occur.
Multiple Cisco radio transceiver units can be connected through a
network switch, forming radio clusters. The proprietary routing protocol will
run automatically on the wired part of the network. To activate the cluster
feature, transceiver units that are capable of being set in Mesh Point
mode must be set in that mode.

Connecting and configuring an Ethernet edge device

Ethernet edge devices such as IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points can
be connected to the Ethernet ports of the Cisco FM1200 Volo. Such edge
devices must be configured using the IP subnet scheme defined for the
broadcast domain.
The default IP subnet mask for all Cisco devices is 192.168.0.0 /
255.255.255.0.
