Multinode and Mesh Network Tuning
Mesh tuning for optimal settings
Note: In the Adjacent AP List screen, the Signal column lists the signal strength of the received
signal (RSSI) from other access Points detected by the multinode. Signal = RSSI value.
RSSI value = dbm - 95 (Subtract 95 from the RSSI value for the dbm value)
For example:
An RSSI of 15 equals -80 dbm.
An RSSI of 20 equals -75 dbm.
Mesh tuning for optimal settings
Due to the variety of installation environments, the default configuration/parameter
settings of the mesh network may not be the optimal settings for your site. The following
are important parameters contained on the Wireless Mesh screen that you can adjust to
customize the mesh for optimal performance:
•
Mesh link Signal Strength Threshold
•
Mesh priority
•
MAC address filtering
See Table 9 for more information on these parameters.
