Configuring Mesh Networking 9-35
25. For both AP3 and AP4, the IT Team uses the Mesh Network Name drop-down menu to
assign the “trion mesh” WLAN to radio 1. This is the WLAN the AP3 and AP4 radios will
use to interoperate with the MUs populating the shipping yard.
26. As with AP1 and AP2, the IT Team decides to not select the Advanced button within the
AP3 and AP4 WLAP Client Bridge Settings field.
27. The Trion IT Team clicks Apply within both the AP3 and AP4 Radio Configuration screens to
complete the mesh network configuration of each AP3 and AP4 radio.
For the next 9 months, the Trion Enterprises’ mesh network consists of AP1 and AP2 and now
AP3 and AP4 extending the mesh coverage range further into the shipping yard. AP1 is still
the root bridge in the mesh network. The IT Team will appraise their mesh requirements in
another 9 months and (if necessary) add additional AP-5131s and MUs to the mesh network.
