| Active Mesh Nodes [main menu] | |
| Secure | It will show a locked icon if the system has an RSA encrypted link with the node. This is only used to encrypt traffic to nodes within 1 hop . The inter-node RSA encyption system must be enables at the factory, have a valid certificate and have exchanged encryption keys with the node to work. |
| Node Name | The name of the node on the network |
| IP Address | The factory-assigned IP address of the first (typically backhaul) radio on the node. Separate addresses are assigned to each radio on a dual radio node. These addresses should not normally be changed |
| Hops | The number of wireless hops away from the current node |
| Operating Mode | Determine in what mode the node is operating. |
| Cell 1 | Cell ID of the node. This is a unique, automatically assigned value for each node, ranging from 1 to 255. It is used to generate the wireless client DHCP subnet for each node, and creates a unique backhaul tunnel for all client and device data to the gateway node. This information is received via an html query to each downstream node, and will not display if that node is unresponsive or unavailable. |
| Cell 2 | Secondary Cell ID for a second (usually client-device access) radio |
| Route | See the route through the mesh that a packet will take from this node. This is updated every 30 minutes. |
| Manually Blocked Nodes | If you wish to block dynamic routing to certain nodes permanently, and continue to do so after a reboot, this setting will accomplish that. This is a list of those nodes. They will also appear in the AODV blocked nodes because that is the system that manages node blocking. |
| AODV Blocked Nodes | These are nodes that have been blocked by the AODV routing system because of low signal or failing regular ping checking, depending upon your current settings. If signal checking is enabled the system will check the signal after the time set. The incrementing number next to the IP address is the number of seconds that the system has been blocking the node. |
| Unblock all nodes | This will cause all AODV system and manually blocked nodes to be released immediately. This will not effect block at other nodes. |
