7 Mesh Radio Configuration
The EnRoute500 has an 802.11a radio dedicated to mesh backhaul traffic. The settings for this
radio are independent of any settings for the radio used for the EnRoute500‟s built-in access
points. The majority of the mesh radio settings must be the same on all nodes in a given mesh
cluster for the nodes to be able to communicate.
