Installing the Hardware
Mounting options
A 2-inch x 2-inch plastic housing is supplied with each end node and terminal board. You may
operate the end node installed within its housing while it is resting on a desktop or mounted to
a wall. When mounting the end node housing to a wall, we recommend that you secure it in
place using two #6 screws and screw anchors (not supplied) of the appropriate type for the
mounting surface.
Default settings
Table 2-5 lists the default settings for the MeshScape end node.
* Persisted indicates value is retained after off/on power cycle.
