3.3. Fluidmesh Network Addressing

3.3.1. Bridge IP addressing

If needed, the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER can be operated in Bridge mode.

This creates a single point-to-point connection between two network

segments. A simplified example of a Bridge mode connection is shown

in Figure 4 (page 20).

As shipped from the factory, the wired ethernet ports of all Fluidmesh

hardware components are assigned the same default IP address of

192.168.0.10/24.

No default IP address is associated with the wireless interface.

3.3.2. Unit identification and addressing

Mesh- and bridge-capable radio transceiver identification

CAUTION

This section contains theoretical explanations of the underlying

concepts behind mesh network addressing, and is intended for

use by qualified network engineers only.

installation, see “Hardware installation” (page 24).

• For specific instructions on how to configure a

Fluidmesh radio transceiver unit using the configurator

interface, see “Device configuration using the

configurator interface” (page 50).

Regardless of its configuration and operating mode, every Fluidmesh

radio transceiver is shipped from the factory with a unique unit

identification (ID) number. This number always takes the following form:
