Simple Mesh Configuration

In a typical Mesh configuration, the Wireless APs are connected to the distribution system via an

Ethernet network, which provides connectivity to the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller.

However, when a Wireless AP is installed in a remote location and can’t be wired to the

distribution system, an intermediate Wireless AP is connected to the distribution system via the

Ethernet link. This intermediate Wireless AP forwards and receives the user traffic from the

remote Wireless AP over a radio link.

The intermediate Wireless AP that is connected to the distribution system via the Ethernet

network is called Mesh portal, and the Wireless AP that is remotely located is called the Mesh AP.

The following figure illustrates the Simple Mesh configuration:

Wireless Repeater Configuration

In Wireless Repeater configuration, a Mesh AP is installed between the Mesh Portal and the

destination Mesh AP. The Mesh AP relays the user traffic between the Mesh Portal and the

destination Mesh AP. This increases the WLAN range.
