Setup and Deployment

Section 1 - Overview
Introduction
The wireless broadband system allows a network operator to deploy a wireless, multi-
hopping ad hoc network. This document describes how to setup, configure, and deploy a
system to operate in infrastructure mode. Infrastructure mode allows the user’s to have access
to a wired network. For a deployment that does not need access to a wired network, refer to the
Setup and Deployment for Peer-to-Peer Mode” document.
The
system is designed for easy installation. The infrastructure components of a
system are preinstalled with a default configuration for connection to a wired network. Any
configuration items described in this document are for site-specific information.
MeshNetworks recommends that the Network Operator receive setup and deployment training
at MeshNetworks’ facility prior to deploying the
network. MeshNetworks may optionally
provide the Network Operator assistance with site surveys and deployment.
Note: The
MWR6300 Wireless Routers and IAP6300 Intelligent Access Points require
“professional installation” to ensure the installation is performed in accordance with FCC
licensing regulations.
