Installing the MeshScape System
The mesh node is ready to operate as a router device (see note below). For information
on the behavior of the status LEDs, see
Table 2-3.
3. Repeat Steps 1and 2 for each mesh node in the kit.
Mounting options
You may operate the mesh node while it is resting on a desktop or mounted to a wall. When
mounting the mesh node to a wall, we recommend that you secure the mesh node in place
using two #6 screws and screw anchors (not supplied) of the appropriate type for the mounting
surface.
Mesh node status LED operation
Table 2-3 describes how the status LEDs on the mesh node behave.
Mesh node default settings
Table 2-4 lists the default settings for the MeshScape mesh node.
Note:
C
For information on accessing and using the mesh node internal I/O connections for
interfacing with an external device see
’Accessing I/O connections’ on page 2-10.

LED Led State Status
Online On Online and in network.
Blinking Offline and searching.
Off No power.
RF Activity Flashing Mesh node detects RF activity. The RF Activity LED will flash
when detecting valid packets (packets destined for device)
and may also flash when detecting invalid packets (packets
destined for other devices) or environmental noise. Only
valid packets are processed by the device.
Off No RF activity detected.
