Base Bridges, if the difference in signal strength is greater than the configured delta value,

the connection to the existing Base Bridge is dropped and a new Base Bridge is selected

based on the highest RSSI value. If the difference in signal strength is less than the

configured delta value, the existing connection is maintained.

Click the Client Bridge Signal Monitor to enable the device to monitor the signal strength of

the base bridge it is connected to.

Enter a value in the Client Bridge Signal Threshold field. This configures the signal strength

of the base bridge below which the device keeps monitoring the connection to the base

bridge. The default value is 65 dbm.

Enter a value in the Client Bridge Signal Delta field. This is the difference between the

signal strength of the monitored base bridge and the found base bridges that causes the

AP to drop its existing Base Bridge and establish a connection to a new Base Bridge.

10. Click Apply to save any changes to the Radio Configuration screen. Navigating away from the

screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.

CAUTION

When defining a Mesh configuration and changes are saved, the mesh network temporarily goes

down. The Mesh network is unavailable because the access point radio is reconfigured when

applying changes. This can be problematic for users making changes within a deployed mesh

network. If updating the mesh network using a LAN connection, the access point applet loses

connection and the connection must be re-instated. If updating the mesh network using a WAN

connection, the access point applet does not lose connection, but the mesh network is

unavailable until the changes have been applied.

11. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the

settings displayed on the Radio Configuration screen to the last saved configuration.

12. Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout

before the applet is closed.

Once the target radio has been enabled from the Radio Configuration screen, configure

the radio’s properties by selecting it from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.

For more information, see Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page

5-167.

Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio

Configure an 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio by selecting the radio’s name (as defined using the

802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio configuration screen described below) as a sub-menu item under

the Radio Configuration menu item. Use the radio configuration screen to set the radio’s

placement properties, define the radio’s threshold and QoS settings, set the radio’s channel and

antenna settings, define beacon and DTIM intervals and set the broadcast/multicast transmit

control.

To configure the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio:

1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration -> Radio1 (default name) from

the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.
