the box is not checked, the radio unit will broadcast the SSID
shown in the WLAN SSID field.
3. Choose the network mode in which the radio unit will function as a
wireless AP by clicking the Network Mode drop-down menu, and
selecting the correct option:
• If the wireless AP is set to bridged configuration, the AP
will reside on the same subnet as the network of which the
radio unit is a part. In this configuration, clients connecting
to the radio unit through the AP can potentially connect to
any Fluidmesh radio unit that is part of the same network.
• If the wireless AP is set to routed configuration, the AP and
the network of which the radio unit is a part are isolated
from each other by location on different subnets.
4. If the wireless AP has been set to routed configuration and
access to other Fluidmesh radio units that are part of the same
network is needed, facilitate access by adding routes to the
relevant radio units as described in “Static routes” (page 95).
5. Choose the encryption protocol that will be used to encrypt
communication to and from connected clients by clicking the
WLAN Security drop-down, and choosing a suitable security
option.
6. The radio unit will broadcast the SSID shown in the WLAN SSID
field. If needed, change the SSID manually.
7. When maintenance personnel connect to the unit using the AP,
they will be prompted to enter a secret passphrase. Type a
chosen passphrase in the WLAN Passphrase entry field.
8. To show the WLAN passphrase in plain text as it is being entered,
check the Show Passphrase check-box.
If the routed Network Mode option was chosen, do the following
additional steps:
1. Specify the IP address and netmask of the subnet the radio unit is
part of by entering the correct addresses in the WLAN IP address
and WLAN netmask fields.
2. To allow the radio unit to automatically assign any of a pre-defined
range of IP addresses to wireless clients that connect to the radio
unit, do the following steps:
a. Choose a continuous, unbroken range of IP addresses
(for example, 100.0.0.100 to 100.0.0.254).
b. Specify the first DHCP IP address in the chosen range by
entering the address in the DHCP first IP address entry
field.
c. Specify the last DHCP IP address in the chosen range by
entering the address in the DHCP last IP address entry
field.
