28.2

Setting up SCALANCE W Mesh Network

Mesh functionality is disabled by default, because of which over- the-air provisioning of mesh

APs is not supported.

To provision APs as mesh APs:

1. Connect the APs to a wired switch.

2. Ensure that the VC key is synchronized and the country code is configured.

3. Ensure that a valid SSID is configured on the AP.

4. If the AP has a factory default SSID (SCALANCE W SSID), delete the SSID.

5. If an extended SSID (ESSID) is enabled on the VC, disable it and reboot the AP cluster.

6. Disconnect the APs that you want to deploy as mesh points from the switch, and place

the APs at a remote location. The APs come up without any wired uplink connection and

function as mesh points. The APs with valid uplink connections function as mesh portals.

Note

SCALANCE W does not support the

topology in which the APs are connected to the

downlink Ethernet port of a mesh point.
