need help with 3 device in mesh using NV2

David1234 · February 5, 2013, 9:10am

is there a reason it’s doesn’t work?
all the units are AP ,dynamic mesh ,using bridge
when the protocol is 802.11 it’s working
but when I change it to NV2 - I get nothing
I have noticed that If I keep only 1device as AP and the others as Station WDS is working (but this is not mesh - I need everyone will talk with everyone)

help?

Thanks ,

Hi

What do you want do achieve?

David1234 · February 5, 2013, 10:32am

3 units using NV2 that connected in MESH
the units are not static.

so sometime unit 1 can see unit 2 and 3
sometime unit 1 can only see unit 2

I need to work at tdma (NV2) with this 3 units

yes I understand that, but what do you want to do? maybe mesh isn’t the solution in this case.

If you tell us what you want to do maybe we can help you.

sorry…

I have 3 moving units that I don’t know where they will be - and how will “see” who.
I need all of them will be able to talk to one another

The best is if you connect the ap´s together via ethernet.

But we are running a site whit 10 aps and moving handscanners. on that site we are running bridge instead of mesh.

This is what I need

again - this work for me if I’m using protocol 802.11
I need to know how to make it work for me in NV2

are they connected to each other via wireless or ethernet?

please print config

David1234 · February 6, 2013, 7:27am

this is configuration from 1 unit - but all 3 have the same
