3. MAP-3120/MAP-3020 Default Settings Below are the default settings of Mesh AP network interfaces. l System Mode: Layer 2 Gateway l LAN: 192.168.0.1 fixed IP l MESH: SSID = PlanetMesh Mode = AdHoc Frequency Band = 802.11a Channel = 160: 5.800 GHz (Note: this default setting is for FCC domain.) l Wireless LAN: SSID = PlanetAP Mode = AP Frequency Band = 802.
4. Hardware Installation Procedures Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about the MAP-3120/MAP-3020. There are four MAP-3020 interfaces (1) Mesh (2) LAN (3) Public (4) WLAN. Public LAN Mesh WLAN Figure 1. Connectors of MAP-3020 There are four MAP-3120 interfaces (1) Mesh (2) LAN (3) Public (4) WLAN.

l For the safety reasons, you are recommended never to touch a high-gain antenna when it is transmitting or point it at any part of your body. l Please, follow carefully the instructions with your antenna. l Keep antennas away from metal objects/obstructions (heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs). l Use a directional antenna when you establish a link between two buildings.
5. Startup the MAP-3120/MAP-3020 To get the initial management of the Mesh AP, please follow the steps. 1. Connect the Mesh AP’s LAN port to an active network. 2. Connect the PC to the network as well. This PC must be configured with a fixed IP in 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0. 3. Launch web browser and enter Mesh AP default IP https://192.168.0.1 into URL field. Certificate warning page will display as below. 4. Press “Yes” button to accept the MAP web certificate. Authentication page will display. 5.
6. Network Planning 6.1 Installation topology The basic Layer 2 MESH Network topology can be planned as following. Mesh Gateway MAP-3020 Router Ethernet Switch a a a b/g Mesh Relay MAP-3020 b/g Internet Mesh Relay MAP-3020 DHCP Server 100Base-TX UTP b/g 802.11b/g Mobile User Note b/g b/g 802.11b/g Mobile User a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g 5GHz 802.11a 1. One Layer 2 mesh network can exist ONLY ONE GATEWAY. If there are two nodes in gateway mode, their backhaul connection CANNOT be built. 2.
6.2 Installation consideration 6.2.1 Hardware Please review the points below for the Hardware install consideration a. Mesh AP The Mesh AP can be configured either a gateway or a relay via web interface. However, one Layer 2 mesh network allows the presence of ONLY one gateway node. b. IEEE802.11a or b/g In general, it is suggested to fix the operating mode to IEEE802.11a as backhaul connection and IEEE802.11b/g as Access Point connection.
7. Further Configuration For advanced settings of Mesh AP, please refer to the user’s manual in the CD. The CD will including: l User Guide for Web Management l Management Utility l User Guide for Management Utility If you have any difficulty on resolving the problem while installing or using the device, please feel free to contact your local dealer or PLANET Technical Support. 8.
