7-4 Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for Mesh Routers
All interfaces connected to the 9000 router are restricted to systems based on the
authentic pass phrase (or password). Any interface that does not have the correct pass
phrase will not be able to establish a data connection.
To authenticate a mesh router, choose Security from the Network menu. The
following page will appear.
Figure 7-3: Security Settings page
Use this page to change the security settings for a mesh router. The first section controls
network access for a mesh router. At the lowest level, the mesh routers will only
communicate with each other if they are on the same channel and IP network. There
are two levels of security that can be used to restrict this communication further with
authentication and encryption.
Select one of these options below:
• Authentication and Encryption: the mesh router will only communicate with
other Mesh routers that have the same pass phrase and are encrypting their
traffic.
