Description
IP Address
Example:
192.168.2.120
If the radio is not automatically acquiring its IP
address through a DHCP server then a fixed IP
address needs to be assigned to the unit
Type an IP address for this NETNode in the IP
address text box. It can be a class of network of
your choosing.
Network Mask
Example:
255.255.255.0
The network mask lets a network administrator
divide a network into smaller more efficient
subnets to stop large numbers of IP packets being
routed through the network. This is usually defined
by the network administrator.
Type a subnet mask in the Network mask text
box.
Gateway
Example:
192.168.2.120
A default gateway is used by a host when an IP
packet's destination address belongs to someplace
outside the local subnet. The default gateway
address is usually an interface belonging to the
LAN’s border router.
We recommend you keep the gateway at the same
setting as the IP Address.
Operating Mode
8-Node System
12-Node System
16-Node, Hi-Rate
Select 16 Node Hi-Rate across all MESH NETNodes
for best performance. Other modes are there for
backward compatibility with earlier versions of
software.
Update All
Nodes
Select or Clear
When you make changes to global setting they are
usually applied to the NETNode you are currently
attached to. Sometimes it’s really convenient to
update all the NETNodes in the mesh, for example
when you wish to change the frequency of all units
at the same time.
Select the Update All Nodes checkbox to enable
these global updates on all nodes.
Parameters which are globally updated are
marked with ‘*’.
Examples of things you can update like this are:
 Frequency
 Bandwidth
