Figure 56 Groups > Proxim Mesh Page Illustration

The General section contains settings for mesh radio, number of mesh links, RSSI smoothing, roaming

threshold and de-auth client.

The Security section contains settings for SSID and enabling AES encryption.

3. The Mesh Cost Matrix configuration section contains settings for hop factor and maximum hops to portal,

RSSI factor and cut-off, medium occupancy factor and current medium occupancy weight. Adjust these

settings as required for your network. Table 69 describes these settings and default values.

Table 67 Groups > Proxim Mesh > General Fields and Default Values

Setting Default Description

Mesh Radio 4.9/5Ghz Drop-down selects the radio that acts as the backhaul to the network.

Max Number of Mesh

Links

6 Sets the maximum number of mesh links allowed on an AP. This number includes

the uplink to the portal as well as downlinks to other mesh APs.

Neighbor RSSI

Smoothing

16 Specifies the number of beacons to wait before switching to a new link.

Roaming Threshold 80 Specifies the difference in cost between two paths that must be exceeded before

the AP roams. To switch to a new path it must have a cost that is less by at least the

roaming threshold. A high threshold results in fewer mesh roams.

Deauth Client when

Uplink is Down

Yes With Yes selected, clients have authentication removed (are deauthenticated) if the

uplink is lost.

Table 68 Groups > Proxim Mesh > Security Fields and Default Values

Setting Default Description

SSID None Sets the SSID used by the Mesh Radio to connect to the mesh network.

Enable AES No Enable or disable AES encryption.

Table 69 Groups > Proxim Mesh > Mesh Cost Matrix Fields and Default Values

Setting Default Description

Hop Factor 5 Sets the factor associated with each hop when calculating the best path to the portal AP.

Higher factors will have more impact when deciding the best uplink.

Maximum Hops to

Portal

4 Set the maximum number of hops for the AP to reach the Portal AP.

RSSI Factor 5 Sets the factor associated with the RSSI values used when calculating the best path to

the portal AP. Higher factors will have more impact when deciding the best uplink.

RSSI Cutoff 10 Specifies the minimum RSSI needed to become a mesh neighbor.
