Chapter 1 Introduction The MAP-2105 is a mobile IP roaming gateway which is specifically designed for PLANET wireless mesh network. It offers the full “mobility” to all users. Not like the layer-2 only capability in ordinary AP, the “mobility” defined in MAP-2105 is the ability of a user to change its attached node from one mesh AP to another while maintaining all existing communications and using the same IP address at this new link.
The MAP-2105 should connect to the network that provide DHCP services (the first time installation) In this guide, we will base on XRT-401D (Internet Broadband Router) as the example for DHCP server, switch and router, this installation can vary on the network planning. The MAP-2105 should be installed in the same subnet to the Mesh Gateway for optimal performance.
https://192.168.0.100. 6. The pop-up screen will ask for user name and password. By default, please key in “admin” for both name and password. Then bring up the screen. 7. Now, the MAP-2105 is ready for services.
Chapter 2 Basic Network Setup This chapter describes a basic network environment formed by three mesh AP and one MAP2105. The administrators can add the mesh AP freely according to real application. The sample network topology is as below. Ethernet Switch Mesh G t Router MAP-2105 Mesh Relay DHCP Server Mesh Relay 802.

Chapter 4 Management Utility The PLANET MLRD Management Suite is a Java-based software application designed specifically to manage the MAP-2105 which act as a server for the mesh nodes with the Mobile IP feature. Generally, the MLRD Management Suite is consists of three major sections, the AP-Finder, Trap Viewer and MLRD Manager. The AP Finder is utilized as a scanner to discover the MAP-2105 within the subnet. Trap Viewer is able to receive and log the alarms sent by the nodes.
2. Choose Install Folder – Select the desired directory to locate the software application. 3. Choose Shortcut Folder – Set the shortcut path.
4. Pre-Installation Summary – A review of the installation settings before starting the installation. 5. Installing – Display the progress of the installation.
6. Install Complete – Indicate the installation has been completed. After complete the steps, you can start up the MLRD Management Suite from the shortcut created. 4.1.2 To Uninstall the MLRD Management Suite The MLRD Management Suite Uninstaller wizard is built along with the application. You can uninstall the application by activate the wizard, namely Uninstall_MLRD Management Suite.exe, which is located in the program folder.

Note that every files and folder created during the installation will be removed. 3. Uninstall Complete – Un-installation completed successfully. 4.2 How to use MLRD Management Suite 4.2.1 AP Finder The AP Finder is used to discover the IP Address of the MAP-2105 available in the subnet.
The status bar located at the bottom of the AP Finder is displaying the status of the scanning process. While the –Select Adapter- drop down list, allow user to choose the adapter to configure the nodes. Two options are available: MLRD Manager or Web-based Configuration Page. 4.2.2 Trap Viewer The trap viewer is used to catch the alarm or trap send from the MAP-2105, which have their trap destination IP Address set to the user’s IP Address.
In order to start listen to the alarms, hit on the Start button. The foreground of the Start button will turn to green color when the trap viewer is running. Conversely, select the Stop button to disable the Trap Viewer, where the foreground of the Stop button changes to red color. The traps received will be displayed at the table provided.
