Configuring Mesh Networking
1 Select Network Configuration > Wireless > Radio Configuration from the menu tree.
2 Refer to the Radio Function parameter to ensure the radio has been designated for WLAN Radio
support.
Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct 802.11a/n or
802.11b/g/n radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the Radio
Status and MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these
values update in real-time.
3 Select the Base Bridge checkbox to allow the Access Point radio to accept client bridge connections
from other Access Points in client bridge mode. The base bridge is the acceptor of mesh network
data from those client bridges within the mesh network and never the initiator.
CAUTION
A problem could arise if a Base Bridge's Indoor channel is not available on an Outdoor Client Bridge's
list of available channels. As long as an Outdoor Client Bridge has the Indoor Base Bridge channel in its
available list of channels, it can associate to the Base Bridge.
4 If the Base Bridge checkbox has been selected, use the Max# Client Bridges parameter to define the
client bridge load on a particular base bridge.
The maximum number of client bridge connections per Access Point radio is 12, with 24 representing
the maximum for dual-radio models.
