7.5.2. FMQuadro
FMQuadro™ for mesh network-capable devices
IMPORTANT
The FMQuadro tool is only available if the Fluidmesh 1200
VOLO is set to Mesh End mode or Bridge mode. If the unit is
set to Mesh Point mode, the -FMQuadro menu option will not
be available.
The FMQuadro window contains controls to do the following functions:
• Plot all wireless links within a network.
• Show important information about each device and link.
• Diagnose problems with wireless links.
• Show the actual physical positions of all Fluidmesh components in
a wireless network against the background of an aerial map.
CAUTION
Do not change the settings in the VLAN Manager table.
Changing these settings may have a negative impact on VLAN
configuration.
Plotting and interpreting the wireless links
To plot and interpret all wireless links shown by the window, do the
following steps:
1. Click the -FM Quadro link under NETWORK CONTROL in the
left-hand settings menu.
NOTE
The FM Quadro window needs Adobe Flash Player
to function. If your browser does not have the Flash
Player plug-in installed, you will be prompted to
download and install the plug-in.
• A graphical view of the current network will be shown. A
typical example is shown in (Figure 31 (page 74)).
