Figure 10-10 Mesh Deployment
Note:
With the single Mesh VNS, the tree structure for the Mesh deployment will be as depicted on the bottom right
of Figure 10-10. You can also implement the same deployment using four Mesh VNSs, each for a set of
Wireless APs in the four corners of the building. Each set of Wireless APs will form an isolated topology and
will operate using a separate SSID and a separate Pre-shared key. For more information, see “Mesh WLAN
Services” on page 10-4
To Configure the Mesh Wireless APs Through the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller:
Before configuring Mesh, be sure that the following conditions are met:
• Energy Save is set to Off
• Beacon Interval is set to 100 msec
• AP names are 32 characters or less for statistics display purposes
• ATPC and DCS are both disabled.
If possible, follow these guidelines for the backhaul radio to achieve a balance of stability,
throughput, and latency:
• Use a 5.2 GHz band for backhaul
• Select a non-DFS channel for the Mesh Portal
• Use a 40 MHz Channel Width and Short guard interval
• Disable Aggregate MSDUs
• Enable Aggregate MPDUs
• Enable ADDBA support
