Changing the operational mode

Changing the operational mode on a mesh network-capable unit

The General Mode box (below) contains the operational mode controls.
Fluidmesh radio transceiver units that are capable of operating within a
mesh radio network are shipped from the factory in Mesh End mode.
If needed, change the unit's operational mode by clicking one of the
following Mode: radio buttons:
• bridge (This mode creates a layer 2 connection between the local
unit and another Bridge unit.)
• mesh point (This mode allows you to use the unit as a relay point
in the mesh network and/or attach an IP edge device, such as a
CCTV camera or video encoder, to the unit.)
• mesh end (This mode allows you to install the unit as the junction
point between the wireless network and a wired LAN.)

IMPORTANT
When designing the required network layout, remember that
the wireless network must always connect to the wired LAN
through a unit configured to be a Mesh End unit.
This is necessary for correct wireless mesh network operation,
even if the network consists only of two wireless units.
NOTE
If the bridge option is chosen, the Fluidmesh device ID
number of the unit that forms the opposite side of the
wireless bridge will be shown in the Configurator
window heading block (Figure 21 (page 58)).
