• principal: The unit will be set as the center unit within a
mesh cluster featuring a 'star' topology. If the unit is set as
a principal, it will dictate the operating frequency of the
mesh cluster of which it is a principal unit.
• SUBORDINATE: The unit will be set as a subordinate unit
within a mesh cluster featuring a 'star' topology. If the unit
is set as a Subordinate, and its Autoscan feature is
enabled, the unit will scan the spectrum of available
frequencies for a principal unit that shares its Cluster ID,
and its frequency selection feature will be disabled.
• OFF: The FluidMAX engine will be disabled.
3. If the operating mode is set to principal or SUBORDINATE, enter
a unique cluster ID tag in the FluidMAX Cluster ID field.
4. If the operating mode is set to SUBORDINATE, check the
FluidMAX Autoscan check-box to allow the principal unit of the
local mesh cluster to dictate the frequency on which the unit will
transmit and receive.
5. If the FluidMAX Autoscan check-box is checked, the Include
5-10 MHz Channels in Autoscan check-box will become
available. Check this check-box to increase the scan resolution
from the default of 20, 40 or 80 MHz to 5-10 MHz.
NOTE
Under normal circumstances, leave the Include 5-10
MHz Channels in Autoscan check-box unchecked.
6. Click the Save button to save your settings. Alternatively, clear
the settings by clicking the Cancel button.
Using the Max TX Power setting
The maximum transmission power of the radio is automatically adjusted to
the maximum power level prescribed by the specific FCC EIRP regulation
governing each U-NII band. The Select TX Max Power setting cannot be
adjusted.
The antenna gain of the radio is fixed at 12 dBi. The Select Antenna
Gain value cannot be adjusted.
Using the Data Packet Encryption setting
This setting controls whether Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
encryption is applied to outgoing data packets.
IMPORTANT
The Data Packet Encryption setting must be the same on all
Fluidmesh units that are part of the same network.
