Network addressing
Fluidmesh radio transceivers
Fluidmesh data link layer (layer 2) addressing allows you to configure
each Cisco FM3200 Endo transceiver unit, and each IP device connected
to the unit, according to the IP address class used in the private LAN to
which the Mesh End unit is connected.
Each Fluidmesh radio transceiver unit has a factory-set IP address of
192.168.0.10, and a Netmask of 255.255.255.0.
NOTE
Each individual Fluidmesh radio transceiver unit has a factory-
set 5.a.b.c Mesh identification number. Each unit is shipped
from the factory with the same IP address, but with a unique
Mesh identification number.
When a Fluidmesh wireless network is connected to a wired LAN, the
LAN is usually the private control room LAN. Therefore, Fluidmesh radio
transceivers, and all other edge devices that connect the wireless network
to the wired LAN, must be assigned individual LAN IP addresses that are
part of the same subnet. The edge devices will be accessed using those
IP addresses.
A typical network configuration (Fluidmesh Network Addressing) is shown
in “Operating the unit in Mesh Point mode or Mesh End mode” (page 20).
In this configuration, the private LAN IP address class is 192.168.150.0,
with netmask 255.255.255.0. Note that each device has an IP address
belonging to this subnet.
IMPORTANT
IP addresses must not be duplicated within a network. If
addresses are duplicated, IP address conflicts will occur.
Multiple Fluidmesh radio transceiver units can be connected through a
network switch, forming radio clusters. The proprietary routing protocol will
run automatically on the wired part of the network. To activate the cluster
feature, transceiver units that are capable of being set in Mesh Point
mode must be set in that mode.
Connecting and configuring an Ethernet edge device
Ethernet edge devices such as IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points can
be connected to the Ethernet ports of the Cisco FM3200 Endo. Such edge
devices must be configured using the IP subnet scheme defined for the
broadcast domain.
The default IP subnet mask for all Fluidmesh devices is 192.168.0.0 /
255.255.255.0.
