5. CONFIGURATION
- Mesh
This interface creates the N.A.A.W. mesh network among the devices.
The options that can be configured are the following:
- Mesh mode – it allows you to choose between Ad-hoc mode (classic setup) and
Ad-hoc demo (the same as the previous one but without any check packet
exchanged among the network).
- SSID – name of the wireless network.
- Hide – option used to make the network invisible.
- WDS – option used to activate the WDS service (it has to be enabled when you use
configuration where the wireless signal is repeated).
- identifier used by the devices to connect with each other; if you set-up the same
BSSID and the same radio channel the device can be connected even if they have
different SSID (this feature can be used for example to give different SSID names
to the devices installed in differente sites) – the BSSIDshould have the format of a
mac address (six pairs of hexadecimal values separated with the symbol “:”).
- Encryption – menu where you can select the kind of encryption of the signal; when
you activate one kind of encryption the page shows a box where you have to insert
the security key.
