To configure a meshpoint network, do the following:
- Go to .
- Configure the following
parameters:
- Meshpoint Name
- Name that
identifies the meshpoint.
- Meshpoint ID
- Identifies the
mesh network. APs must have the same Mesh ID in order to form
mesh links. APs with configured meshpoints exchange beacons and
the Mesh ID is checked. If a Mesh ID does not match that of the
network, the beacon is dropped. If the Mesh ID does match that
of the network, the AP adds an entry in the Meshpoint Neighbor
Table.
The SSID is used as the Mesh ID for networks that
support AP39xx access points.
- Auth Type
A pre-shared key (PSK) is used to AES encrypt traffic
traveling between Meshpoint APs. Modifying the key after a
non-root AP is deployed may cause it to become stranded.
Connect the non-root AP through the Ethernet port before
changing the PSK.
