Unlike node 1, node 2 does not serve any client devices but only forwards traffic to and from other
nodes. As such, both of its radios are configured in backhaul mode. Such a relay-only node is
known as a point node.
Node 3 is similar to node 1 in that it has one backhaul radio and one access radio, which means it
is also capable of connecting to other MSR series routers and servicing client devices. However
because it is not directly connected to a wired network, it is called an AP node.
Configuration Summary
Table 1 summarizes the basic configuration settings required for each of the three nodes:

11.2 Configuring nodes with the Quick Setup Wizard
The basic software requirement for the web-interface is:
• Web Browser： Internet Explorer 5.5 and above with Javascript enabled
• Optimal Resolution：1024 X 768 and above
2
Node ID can be any integer 1 and 8191, and must be unique within a single mesh network.
3
Router ID is an IPv4 loopback address that identifies the router, and is usually the best way to connect to
the administration functions of an operational router; must be unique within a single mesh network.
4
This is the IP address and netmask of the Ethernet port 0 on the MSR series. Depending on the exact
model, there may be one or two Ethernet ports. This quick start guide only uses Ethernet port 0.
5
This is the IP address of the gateway router that the Ethernet port 0 is connected to.
6
SSID is the alphanumeric identifier of a wireless AP which clients use to connect.
7
DNS server information is needed for the clients to connect to the internet; this information is passed to
the client when the client uses the DHCP protocol to obtain an IP address from the AP on the MSR series.
8
Motrix-roaming is a service provided by the MSR series that allows wireless clients to move from the
coverage area of one AP to another without experiencing any disruption in service. For details, refer to the
Configuration Guide.
