4Firetide™ HotPoint™ 1000S The Firetide HotPoint 1000S Wireless Mesh Router enables you to build Wireless Instant NetworksTM, eliminating the need to lay hundreds or potentially thousands of feet of Ethernet cable. Now you can instantly add Ethernet ports wherever you want, especially in areas where cabling is too costly or time consuming to install. Multiple HotPoint units automatically ﬁ nd each other via wireless links allowing you to create and extend a high performance wireless mesh network. The network is very adaptable, allowing you to change the network conﬁ guration in real-time.The HotPoint 1000S acts as a portable Ethernet switch that you can place anywhere you want simply by plugging the unit into a standard power outlet. Each HotPoint Wireless Mesh router has three RJ-45 Ethernet ports, allowing you to attach up to three Ethernet devices, such as a wireless access point, computer, printer server, Internet uplink, or network video camera.Firetide Wireless Instant NetworkFiretide developed the Wireless Instant Network, based on the HotPoint Wireless Mesh Router, to enable faster, easier, and more af-fordable network deployment. Firetide’s patented mesh networking technology makes it possible to survey, plan and deploy an entire net-work in less than one day rather than weeks. The Firetide network is also completely portable. Your entire network can be relocated simply by taking your HotPoint routers with you to your new location.

5What is a Firetide Mesh Network?Firetide mesh networks feature a self-conﬁ guring, self-healing, multi-hop topology. Because of these inherent self-organizing properties, a mesh network requires no manual conﬁ guration. Thus, creating a new network or adding or relocating network equipment is as easy as powering up new nodes. The network automatically discovers the new nodes and integrates them into the mesh. A big advantage of a mesh network is its robustness and ability to heal itself. If a node is disconnected, congested, or fails to operate, neighboring nodes are notiﬁ ed, and data is routed around it. There is no need for a network engineer to intervene, troubleshoot, and cure the problem. Mesh networking can be compared to the Internet, where data can be rerouted on other paths if one path becomes disabled or congested. Losing a node or two or a link won’t bring down the entire mesh network. Unlike other WLAN technologies, a mesh network’s reliability and scalability can actually improve by add-ing more nodes and enriching the density of the mesh. More redundant paths means the network in aggregate can handle far more data trafﬁ c, and is therefore quite scalable.Mesh networks are ideal whenever the network must be reliable, scalable, and ﬂ exible. They are very portable and can adapt well to many different physical environments.

6Building a Firetide Mesh NetworkInstalling, expanding, or even relocating a Firetide Mesh network is simple and fast. Simply place a HotPoint router wherever you need an indoor Ethernet port and plug it into an indoor AC power source. As long as the HotPoint router is within operating range of other HotPoint routers, you can connect and operate your network devices immediately.Although network planning is often not required for basic installa-tions, adhering to a few simple guidelines will help ensure that your network performs reliably and gives you the full beneﬁ ts and perfor-mance that mesh networking has to offer. Important! Use the Correct RJ-45 Ethernet Cable The type of Ethernet cable to use depends on what you connect to the HotPoint router. End devices such as PCs, printers and video cameras require crossover cables. Multi-user devices such as hubs and switches as well as most cable and DSL modems require straight-through (non-crossover) cables. Devices with auto-sensing MDI/MDIX ports can use either crossover or straight-through cables. Both cable types are read-ily available from your Firetide dealer or local computer store.A simple way to determine if you have the correct cable type is to check the left LED on the HotPoint Ethernet port. If the green LED illumi-nates, the cable is correct.Understand HotPoint Antenna PatternsHotPoint routers have omni directional antennas that radiate in a broad circular pattern perpendicular to the antenna shaft. The antennas have pivoting mounts with a very wide range of motion. This allows you to in-stall the HotPoint routers at any angle (even upside-down) and still orient the radiating pattern for maximum distance and throughput. For optimum horizontal coverage, orient the antennas in your mesh network verti-cally (perpendicular to the ground). For vertical coverage, such as between ﬂ oors in a building, you may need to orient some antennas horizontally.Line-of-Sight Improves Operating DistanceYou can increase the working distance between HotPoint routers by avoiding excessive radio interference and obstacles made of dense materials such as concrete walls, metal furniture and ceilings. However this is not always necessary, especially if you have a sufﬁ cient number of HotPoint routers. We recommend ﬁ rst placing your HotPoint routers wherever it is most convenient and relocating them only if these obstacles seems to impair performance.

7Create a Mesh Topology for Maximum Performance and ReliabilityUnlike simple point-to-point bridging, Firetide provides true mesh networking with ﬂ exible and redundant paths. This improves overall performance, allows the network to be extended over long distances, and reduces the chance of single point failures. To fully beneﬁ t from the self-forming and self-healing properties of the mesh, place each HotPoint router within direct range of two or more HotPoint routers. Also, do not install your HotPoint network in a linear, point-to-point conﬁ guration. The Firetide network protocol is optimized for two- and three-dimensional topologies including vertical connections between multiple ﬂ oors in a building.Use the Free HotPoint Manager SoftwareAlthough this software is not required for installing or operating your network, the HotPoint Manager software provides an easy way to monitor and manage the mesh and your HotPoint routers. Because wireless connections between HotPoint routers are invisible, this software lets you “see” which units are within direct range of each other. HotPoint Manager also provides additional security and optional conﬁ guration features. You can download the software free of charge from the Firetide web site. See pages 8 though 11 for information on downloading and installing HotPoint Manager.

8HotPoint ManagerTM SoftwareThe HotPoint Manager software provides a convenient, browser-based interface for monitoring all of the HotPoint routers on your mesh network.
