Configuring Mesh Networking 9-39
9. The team selects the Edit button to revise (and rename) the existing default WLAN to
support mesh networking.
10. The Trion IT team assigns the WLAN an ESSID of 103 to be consistent with the trion mesh
WLAN ESSID of the other four AP-5131s within the mesh network.
11. The team assigns the name of “trion mesh” to the WLAN to be consistent with the WLAN
supporting mesh on APs 1-4.
12. The team selects the 802.11a Radio checkbox for both AP5 and AP6. The 802.11b/g radio on
both AP5 and AP6 will be used to service MUs (on a different WLAN). Thus, MU traffic will
be segregated from the mesh traffic proliferating each AP’s 802.11a radio.
