Provisioning local mesh links
Antenna selection: Select the antenna(s) on which the radio transmits and receives.
Internal: The internal antenna is used to transmit and receive.
External: The external antenna is used to transmit and receive.
Note The service controller and all APs must all be configured for the same country, so that the
local mesh established respects your local RF regulations. The service controller country
setting is defined by selecting Service Controller >> Management > Country. APs with
the wrong country setting will be displayed with a diagnostic of Invalid Country on the
Controlled APs >> Overview page.
The local mesh provisioning profile for AP 2 needs to be set to alternate master mode so that
it can support a connection from AP 1. Select AP 2 in the Network Tree and then open the
Configuration > Local mesh page and select Local mesh provisioning profile.
Note To enable the service controller to send provisioned settings to controlled APs, activate the
Enable provisioning of controlled APs option on the Service Controller >> Controlled
APs > Provisioning page.
Until this option is enabled, provisioned settings defined on the service controller are not
sent to any controlled APs.
Once provisioning settings have been defined you need to update all controlled APs with the
new settings by synchronizing them as described in Synchronizing APs on page 3-22.
After an AP has been updated with provisioned settings, the provisioned settings do not
become active until the AP is restarted, or a Remove and rediscover action is executed on
the Controlled APs >> Configured APs page.
