Wireless Access Points
The CheckBox HSv530a can host and manage CheckBox meshing access points in
wired and wireless modes. At least one CheckBox meshing access point must be
wired into the CheckBox operation.
The SSID is the Service Set Identification - the name of a wireless network that is
broadcast to announce the networks presence.
When using CheckBox mesh node access points the ssid and channel of the access
points is set and controlled from with in the management screens of the CheckBox. If
you are using other brands of access points you will need to manage channel changes
and SSID as per their manufacturer’s directions.
By default the ssid is “system”. To change the ssid select Network Setup from the top
menu and then Wireless from the drop down menu. Enter the new name and press
update. It is important that your name contain only letters and numbers - no spaces or
symbols.
Important: If you are using mesh repeaters allow 10 minutes after update for the
mesh repeaters to reconfigure their SSID. During this period Do Not make any
other system changes (i.e. Local Address or channel) or you run the risk of the
repeaters becoming lost.
By default CheckBox is set to channel 6. Different networks can co-exist on the same
channel in the same area, however if you are running another network or there are
other networks in your area you may wish to change the channel. To change the
channel from the Network Setup -> Wireless screen select the channel from the drop
down box and press update.
Important: If you are using mesh repeaters allow 10 minutes after update for the
mesh repeaters to reconfigure their channel. During this period Do Not make any
other system changes (i.e. Local Address or SSID) or you run the risk of the
repeaters becoming lost.
