Mesh Prerequisites

Before setting up a Mesh network, gather the following information:

Mesh Mode	The mode in which the AP will be used. If the AP will be connected directly to the wired
	backbone, it should be configured for Mesh Portal mode; if it will connect to the Portal
	and backbone wirelessly, it should be configured for Mesh AP mode. If the AP will not
	be used in a Mesh network, Mesh Mode can be disabled.

Mesh Interface Number	The interface on which the Mesh functionality will be enabled. For Wireless A, the
	interface number is 3; for Wireless B, the interface number is 4.

Mesh SSID	The name of the Mesh network. The Mesh SSID should be between 1 and 16
	characters.

Mesh Security Mode	Mesh links may be secured through AES encryption. You may also choose to use
	Mesh functionality without security enabled.

Mesh AP Shared Secret	The password shared between Mesh Access Points when AES is enabled (AES is
	enabled by default). This password should be between 6 and 32 characters. The
	default password is “public.”
