Firetide Mesh Network with Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Mesh Nodes

Mesh networking can be compared to the Internet, where data can be rerouted onto other paths if one path

becomes disabled or congested. Losing a node or two or a link won't bring down the entire mesh network.

Unlike other WLAN technologies, a mesh network's reliability and scalability can actually be improved by

adding more nodes and enriching the density of the mesh. More redundant paths mean the network in

aggregate can handle far more data traffic, and is therefore quite scalable. Mesh networks are ideal

whenever the network must be reliable, scalable, and flexible. They are very portable and can adapt to

many different physical environments.

Configuring the Mesh

To configure the mesh, it is recommended to connect the mesh utilizing the default configuration and then

change the desired settings using the HotView software. The software lets you change the settings (SSID,

Channel, Encryption, IP address, and so on) on all nodes, rather than changing one at a time. This will save

you time and ensure that the entire mesh is configured the same way.

HotPort wireless mesh nodes support data encryption to help protect the confidentiality of transmitted data.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption can be used to protect data exchanged between any two

ports in a wireless mesh.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Policy) encryption is also available to protect data exchanged over the wireless

links.
