AP Model Option AP Behavior

AP39xx Root • Yes - Mesh point is root node for this mesh

network.

• No - Mesh point is not a root node for this

mesh network.

Note: When using an AP39xx:

• When the AP39xx is a root AP, the Wireless

Distribution System (WDS) service is the

parent.

• When the Path Selection Method is snr-leaf or

mobile-snr-leaf, the WDS service is a child.

• In all other cases, WDS service is both a parent

and a child.

AP39xx Only Path Selection Method Select the method used for path selection in a

mesh network. Available options include:

• Uniform – The path selection method is

uniform (two paths are considered equivalent

if the average value is the same for these

paths). Use this method for regular

infrastructure meshing.

• SNR-Leaf – Use this method in special

infrastructure cases when it is more desirable

to make path decisions based on SNR than on

metric values.

AP39xx Only Hysteresis Minimum Threshold This is the minimum SNR value to consider a

candidate for the next hop in a dynamic mesh

network. For the AP39xx, this value maps to the

Roaming Threshold value.

• 100dB to 85dB maps to Low

• 84dB to 70dB maps to Medium

• 69dB to 0dB maps to High

Note

Do not rename an AP after it is added to a mesh network. Renaming the device aects the

display of the reported statistics.
