A table, placed at the bottom of the window, reports the network units address summary and can be

viewed by clicking on the proper button as reported in Fig. 7.15. It is possible to assign a name

to each of the Fluidmesh units. This may be especially convenient with a large mesh network.

Furthermore, through the “Network Settings” table, placed at the bottom of the window, you can

check whether the DFS settings are consistent the network, e.g., the DFS is enabled in the all the

units. The Network Settings table allows for harmonizing the DFS settings in the whole network

with a single mouse click.

FMQuadro is an accurate representation of the network, so it can be useful to add a map of the

area in which the Fluidmesh system is deployed

. Map images can be uploaded to the Mesh End

unit using the proper button placed in the FMQuadro top toolbar. Image format supported is jpg. The

file has to be less than 100 KB in size and can be uploaded using IE only. The top toolbar provides

several intuitive buttons to drag & drop the background map and control its transparency and

Aerial images can be downloaded using Google Earth (http://earth.google.com/).
