3.3 Configuring the Basic Settings
You will wish to configure a device to start to explore what you can do with a mesh network.
Step 1: Configure the Big Seven
It will be necessary to have some powered NETNodes for which you know the IP address
and a PC with a web browser.
There are only seven things you have to configure on each NETNode to make them form a
mesh network.
1. Connect you PC to the first NETNode and with your browser, log on to the control
pages.
2. Select Global Settings tab.
3. Set the Operating Mode on all units to the same type. For best performance set 16-
Node, Hi-Rate. Others modes give compatibly with earlier software versions.
4. Click Apply.
Note: If you select 16-Node, Hi-Rate as your operating mode, you can only select
between 1 to 63 for your Mesh ID.
