5.2.12 Mesh Point Configuration
System Profile Configuration
The access point can be configured to be a part of a meshed network. A mesh network is one where each node in the network
is be able to communicate with other nodes in the network and where the node can maintain more than one path to its peers.
Mesh network provides robust, reliable and redundant connectivity to all the members of the network. When one of the
participant node in a Mesh Network becomes unavailable, the other nodes in the network are still able to communicate with
each other either directly or through intermediate nodes.
Mesh Point is the name given to a device that is a part of a meshed network.
Use the Mesh Point screen to configure the parameters that set how this device behaves as a part of the mesh network.
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
