4.3 Web based Configuration
Some configuration options are available by web based configuration only. If utilising
these option they will need to be accessed using a web browser and connecting to the
modules IP Address, i.e. 192.168.0.XXX
4.3.1 Mesh
Figure 37 - Mesh Configuration
Enable IP Gateway
Mode
Enabling this option will allow communicating modules access to
an external Ethernet Network if connected (IP address range
configured under Network Settings). Care should be taken when
enabling this option as it can increase overall network traffic.
Default is off and should remain off unless there is an Ethernet
network connected and other devices on the radio network need
to communicate through this module to the external Ethernet
network. All traffic for the external network must be routed
through this IP address.
Link Quality
Threshold
The radio will use this threshold levels when establishing a mesh
link with other radios in the system. It represents a 0-100% level
of link quality (100 being the best). If the Link Quality is lower
than the threshold the link will be ignored.
Link Quality can be monitored on the Connectivity web page. If
the link quality is lower than this threshold, then mesh routes will
not be assigned over this link. Default value is 35
Receive Signal
Strength Threshold
The radio will use this threshold level when establishing a mesh
link with other radios in the system. When establishing a mesh
the radio sends out a broadcast message and then monitors the
signal strength from all other nodes that respond, if any of the
signal levels are below the “Receive Signal Strength Threshold”
the mesh link will be ignored. The default threshold is -100dBm
and is used in conjunction with the “Link Quality Threshold”
above
