Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct
radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the Radio
Status and MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh
network, these values update in real-time.
2. Set the Maximum MUs between 0 - 127.
The maximum number of MUs that can associate to an AP-7131N-FGR is 127. Therefore, the
possible number of MUs that can associate to each radio must be negotiated between 0 and
127.
3. Select the Base Bridge checkbox to allow the radio to accept client bridge connections
from other access points in client bridge mode. The base bridge is the acceptor of mesh
network data from those client bridges within the mesh network and never the initiator.
4. If the Base Bridge checkbox has been selected, use the Max# Client Bridges parameter
to define the client bridge load on a particular base bridge.
The maximum number of client bridge connections per radio is 12, with 24 representing the
maximum for dual-radio models.
Once the settings within the Radio Configuration screen are applied (for an initial
deployment), the current number of client bridge connections for this specific radio displays
NOTE This section describes mesh networking (setting the radio’s base and
client bridge configuration) at a high level. For a detailed overview on the
theory of mesh networking, see Mesh Networking Overview on page 9-1.
For detailed information on the implications of setting the mesh
configuration, see Configuring Mesh Networking Support on page 9-7. To
review mesh network deployment scenarios, see Mesh Network
Deployment - Quick Setup on page 9-20.
NOTE The AP does not support MU radio associations if its Maximum MUs value
is set to 0. Alternatively, if you set the value to 127 for one radio, you risk
shutting out MU associations for the other radio, as the AP does not
validate the logic of a user’s MU association distribution.
CAUTION An access point is Base Bridge mode logs out whenever a Client
Bridge associates to the Base Bridge over the LAN connection. This
problem is not experienced over the access point’s WAN connection. If
this situation is experienced, log-in to the access point again.
