In Fluidmesh devices, AES is applied using a proprietary encoding
algorithm, enabling industry-grade network security.
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
wireless links. It is also used to set media access control (MAC) layer
timeouts for transmitted packets.
To choose the Maximum link length setting manually, do the following
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
the settings by clicking the Cancel button.
To let the system choose the optimal Maximum link length setting and
MAC layer timeouts automatically, check the Automatic check-box.

Device configuration using the configurator interface
IMPORTANT
The AES feature must be enabled using a software plug-in (FM-
AES). Contact your Fluidmesh Networks representative for
details.
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.
