Firetide™ HotPoint™ 1500S Indoor Wireless Mesh Router
Firetide™ HotPoint™ 1500S wireless mesh routers enable instant deployment of wireless
networks and provide a simple and reliable alternative to standard LAN cabling. Deploy Ethernet
ports anywhere—instantly! HotPoint routers eliminate costly backhaul wiring for wireless access
points and hotspots. In addition, they also enable wireless connectivity for standard networking
devices such as computers, printers, access points, surveillance cameras, and Ethernet switches.
HotPoint 1500S wireless mesh routers provide a robust, flexible, and scalable LAN backbone
solution. Because they form automatically without wires, Firetide mesh networks do not require
elaborate site surveys or physical modifications to buildings and workspaces. Network installation
costs will drop dramatically because time consuming wiring between offices, walls, floors and
different buildings is no longer needed. Provisioning is also easy and fast because special
drivers, setup, and interfaces are not required for the equipment you connect to a Firetide instant
mesh network. A simple to use management client is available to configure the mesh for each
network deployment.
Note: The HotPoint 1500S is an indoor only product. Any modification or enhancement of
this product for use outdoors is strictly prohibited.
The HotPoint 1500S routers provide fast and easy indoor network deployment and their extended
throughput ensures higher link performance over longer distances. A Firetide mesh also provides
a portable network backbone, so moving your network is as easy as taking your HotPoint routers
with you to your new site. HotPoint 1500S indoor mesh routers are fully compatible with HotPoint
1500R outdoor mesh routers enabling the mesh to extend to outdoor applications.
HotPoint wireless mesh routers employ a high performance radio (100mW) for optimized network
coverage. Greater throughput between HotPoint nodes enables you to extend your network
applications with services that previously required greater bandwidth over expensive cabling.
Built into a HotPoint are three standard 10/100 Ethernet ports for connecting standard networked
client devices. You can also use one of these ports to link the Firetide mesh network with an
existing wired LAN or to the Internet through a DSL modem or gateway device. The mesh node
can operate freestanding or mounted to a wall. An external transformer supplies power from a
standard 120 volt AC outlet.
Firetide Instant Mesh Network
Firetide developed the Wireless Instant Network, based on the HotPoint Mesh Router, to enable
faster, easier and more affordable network deployment. Firetide’s patented mesh networking
technology (FMRP) Firetide Mesh Routing Protocol makes it possible to survey, plan and deploy
an entire network within one day rather than weeks. The Firetide network is also portable. Your
entire network can be relocated simply by taking your HotPoint routers with you to your new
location.
What is a Firetide Mesh Network?
Firetide mesh networks feature a self-configuring, self-healing, multi-hop topology. Because of
these inherent self-organizing properties, a mesh network requires no manual configuration.
Thus, creating a new network or adding or relocating network equipment is as easy as powering
User Manual
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 notified, and data is routed
around it. There is no need for a network engineer to intervene, troubleshoot, and cure the
problem.
Firetide Mesh Network with Indoor and Indoor Wireless Mesh Routers
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 adding more nodes and enriching the density of the mesh. More
redundant paths means the network in aggregate can handle far more data traffic, and is
therefore quite scalable. Mesh networks are ideal whenever the network must be reliable,
scalable, and flexible. They are very portable and can adapt to many different physical
environments.
Building a Firetide Mesh Network
Installing, expanding, or even relocating a Firetide mesh network is easy and fast. Simply place a
HotPoint router wherever you need an Ethernet port and connect it to an 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 installations, adhering to a few simple guidelines will help ensure that your network
performs reliably and gives you the full benefits and performance that mesh networking has to
offer.
Use the Correct RJ-45 Ethernet Cable
The type of Ethernet cable to use depends on what you connect to the HotPoint router and
whether you are utilizing an Indoor router or an Outdoor router. When connecting the Indoor
router to end devices such as video cameras and access points they require crossover cables.
HotPoint 1500S Indoor Wireless Mesh Router
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 Ethernet ports can use either
crossover or straight-through cables. Refer to “Connecting to the Mesh” in the table of contents.
A simple way to determine if you have the correct cable type is to check the left LED on the
Ethernet port. If the green LED illuminates, the cable is correct.
Understand HotPoint Antenna Patterns
HotPoint 1500S Indoor mesh routers have omni directional antennas that radiate in a broad
circular pattern perpendicular to the antenna shaft. For optimum coverage, orient the antennas in
your mesh network vertically
(perpendicular to the ground). Since the
coverage of the RF spectrum is different in
the various spectrum bands orientation of
the antennas will enhance your coverage
area.
Line-of-Sight Improves Operating
Distance
Although HotPoint wireless mesh routers can communicate between walls and buildings, you can
increase the working distance of your Indoor mesh router by avoiding obstacles made of dense
materials such as concrete and metal. Positioning the HotPoint 1500S units so the space
between them provides an unobstructed, line-of-sight view, will greatly increase the effective
range and reliability of transmission. They should be located high enough to prevent interference.
User Manual
Create a Mesh Topology for Maximum Performance and Reliability
Unlike simple point-to-point bridging, Firetide provides true mesh networking with flexible 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 benefit from the self-forming
and self-healing properties of the mesh, place each HotPoint router within direct range of two or
more HotPoint routers. It is not recommended to install your HotPoint network in a linear, point-topoint configuration. The Firetide network protocol is optimized for two and three dimensional
topologies including vertical connections between multiple floors in a building.
Linear vs. Mesh Topology
Use the HotPoint Manager Software
Although 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 configuration features. You can download the software from the
Firetide web site.
HotPoint 1500S Indoor Wireless Mesh Router
HotPoint Manager™ Software
The HotPoint Manager software provides a convenient, browser-based interface for monitoring all
of the HotPoint routers on your mesh network. HotPoint Manager is a Java-based application
compatible with most Internet browsers and platforms including Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, and
Linux. Registered users can download the HotPoint Manager software and documentation from
the Firetide web site (www.firetide.com).
Downloading and Installation Instructions
1. Go to the Firetide web site www.firetide.com/
2. Select Support and then select Downloads from the menu
3. Read the instructions provided and download the appropriate version of the software and
documentation. You will be asked to log in or to register before being permitted to download.
4. Install the software on your workstation as directed in the HotPoint Manager User Guide.
User Manual
Connecting to the Mesh
If your mesh network consists of HotPoint 1000S indoor mesh routers and HotPoint 1000R
outdoor mesh routers, we recommend connecting your workstation to an indoor unit so you can
avoid having to make the connection outdoors.
If you are connecting the workstation directly to the HotPoint 1000S, an Ethernet crossover cable
is required. If you are connecting the workstation through a switch, then a straight-through
Ethernet cable is required. Many newer switches support MDIX (Medium Dependent Interface
Crossover, where the “X” represents crossover) and when connecting to those switches the type
of Ethernet cable does not matter.
Connecting a HotPoint Manager workstation to an indoor mesh router directly or through a switch.
Connecting to the Mesh Network
1. Be sure all of your HotPoint routers are installed and powered.
2. Connect your workstation’s network adapter directly to any one of the HotPoint routers using
an Ethernet cable.
3. Turn on your workstation and configure your TCP/IP settings to:
• IP address: 192.168.224.200
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway is not used
4. Refer to your operating system documentation to configure for the static address
in step 3.
Getting Started with HotPoint Manager
For complete information on HotPoint Manager features and more detailed instructions on its
operation, download the latest HotPoint Manager User Guide available at www.firetide.com
Steps 1 and 2 are for launching HotPoint Manager under Windows. Your operating system may
have a different procedure for launching applications.
1. From the Windows Desktop click on the Start button
2. Click on All Programs and select HotPoint Manager. The Login screen will appear.
3. Enter the following information to log into the mesh network
• Username: admin
• Password: admin

HotPoint 1500S Indoor Wireless Mesh Router
4. Click on Login to start
5. Wait for your computer to connect to the mesh. This may take a few seconds to several
minutes depending on how many routers are in the mesh.
6. You should see the screen shown on the following page with a list of all of the HotPoint units
on the mesh.
Note: If this screen does not appear, or some of your HotPoint mesh routers appear to be
missing from the list, refer to Appendix B – Troubleshooting.
Configuring to the Mesh
To configure the mesh it is recommended to connect the mesh utilizing the default configuration
and then change the parameters desired with HotPoint Manager. This will save you time and
ensure the entire mesh is configured the same. You can change the SSID, Channel, Encryption
and IP address on all nodes rather than changing one at a time.
Configuring the TX mode and Channel Selection
Using the Hotpoint Manager the Mesh Administrator is provided a selection of operating modes
(e.g., 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) along with a selection of channels for that mode. In this way
the administrator is only able to operate the mesh in full compliance with approved certified
frequencies.
Enabling Single Port Operations
To configure the mesh to utilize a single Ethernet ports use the HotPoint Manager to accomplish
this function. By default all ports are enabled, however, overall throughput can be improved with
only one Ethernet port enabled.
User Manual
Remote Management of HotPoint Manager
You can remotely manage the HotPoint manager by utilizing programs such as Remote
Desktop/Terminal Services, VNC, Radmin, and pcAnywhere. Refer to the documentation
provided by software manufacturer of choice to run and install them. VPN (Virtual Private
Network) utilizing PPTP, LPT2 protocols is another way to gain remote access to the mesh.
You will require a workstation connected to the mesh and has another Ethernet connected to the
internet. If you have a firewall installed or using NAT (Network Address Translation) you can
allow access through the firewall or allow port forwarding to certain a NAT address.
Power Adjustments
The 1500S has the ability to Display/Modify Radio TX Power Level on a per node basis utilizing
the HotPoint Manager software. The maximum power (i.e., 100%) is a factory configured value
that is unique to each country of operation, each channel of operation, and each antenna
configuration and has been determined to be within an authorized limit. This value cannot be
changed. However, using the Hotpoint Manager a mesh administrator can set any node to
operate at a reduced percentage of this maximum power (e.g. 75%, 50%, or 25%). The
administrator can restore the Hotpoint to its approved maximum power by setting the power level
back to 100%.
Note: You can only adjust the output power in the following increments 25%, 50%, 75% and
100%. These are adjustments to the node radio, so care must be exercised when adjusting on
an existing network as the lowered power level may cause the node to lose connectivity with
any other mesh node..
To view or modify the TX Power right click on the node you want to change the power as
indicated in the screen shots below.
HotPoint 1500S Indoor Wireless Mesh Router
For example if the maximum FCC-allowed power output for a certain country, channel, and
antenna is 17dBm the settings would be:
100% = 17dBm
75% = 16dBm
50% = 14dBm
25% = 11dBm
Note: Adjusting the power incorrectly could have an adverse effect on proper mesh
operations.
If you are not sure what the power should be adjusted to it is best to leave at default configuration. If you
need additional technical assistance, please contact your Firetide dealer.
Restoring Default Settings
You can restore to factory default settings for your HotPoint router using the HotPoint Manager
software. Refer to the HotPoint Manager User guide for more information. You can also use the
following procedure to restore the factory default settings without HotPoint Manager.
1. Unplug the HotPoint power adapter.
2. Connect an Ethernet crossover cable between the following Ethernet ports on the HotPoint
mesh router
ƒ For HotPoint 1000R outdoor mesh routers, connect the crossover cable between both
Ethernet ports.
ƒ For HotPoint 1000S indoor mesh routers, connect the crossover cable between Ethernet
ports 2 and 3.
User Manual
3. Plug in the HotPoint power adapter and wait for red “fault” LED to turn on and then off.
4. The LED will blink 3 more times. Wait three minutes before proceeding to Step 5.
IMPORTANT: AFTER PLUGGING IN THE POWER ADAPTER, YOU MUST WAIT THREE
MINUTES FOR THE UNIT TO RESET ITSELF BEFORE UNPLUGGING IT. If you unplug the
power before the unit resets itself, the firmware can be corrupted requiring the unit to be
restored at the factory.

Appendix B- Troubleshooting
This Appendix will highlight some troubleshooting tips to isolate various types of problems that
could occur.
New Installations
Routers missing from the mesh
Make sure you have only a green LED on the enclosure front of the router missing from the
mesh. If not check power connections and reset the power.
Connect to the router that is missing from the mesh with HotPoint Network Management to see if
you can access it. If you need additional technical assistance contact your Firetide dealer
directly.
If you have connection to the router but cannot see the other routers in the mesh then there may
be some interference. Interference is defined as the reception of signals from sources other than
the intended source. The source of the interference may be from a closer and/or stronger signal
level compared to the 1500S signal which will impact the 1500S. Interference can also be
caused by energy that is a completely different frequency from the 1500S. High powered
transmitters can radiate “harmonics” which can cause interference. Certain building materials will
prevent the signal from reaching other mesh routers. Try relocating the router to another location
in the building.
Poor Performance
Poor performance can be caused by interference or other causes. It is best to test performance
from within the mesh. Check performance from one router to another rather than choosing a
download from the internet. There are many tools that can be utilized and many of them are free
such as FTP, IPerf and Qcheck etc. When conducting performance testing connect directly into
both 1500S under test to isolate any Access Points or other equipment. If you need additional
technical assistance contact your Firetide dealer directly.
Access Devices not working properly
Refer to the access device manual to ensure it is properly configured. The mesh network is
designed to be agnostic to devices and traffic. If the mesh network is working then check
connectors and access devices. If you need additional technical assistance contact your Firetide
dealer directly.
Unable to Ping Mesh Router
Try pinging from another Mesh Router or connect directly into the Router under question and
make sure you can connect to that router. If you need additional technical assistance contact
your Firetide dealer directly.
Existing Installations
Routers missing from the mesh
Make sure you have only a green LED on the enclosure front of the router missing from the
mesh. If not check power connections and reset the power on the enclosure.
12
HotPoint 1500S Indoor Wireless Mesh Router
Connect to the router that is missing from the mesh with HotPoint Network Management to see if
you can access it. If you need additional technical assistance contact your Firetide dealer
directly.
If the problem is not hardware related the next step is to check the RF. What has changed in the
RF, why did it work before and now it isn’t working? Maybe a site survey is required to find out
what has changed.
Poor Performance
Poor performance can be caused by interference or other causes. It is best to test performance
from within the mesh. Check performance from one router to another rather than choosing a
download from the internet. There are many tools that can be utilized and many of them are free
such as FTP, IPerf and Qcheck etc. When conducting performance testing connect directly into
both 1500S under test to isolate any Access Points or other equipment. If you need additional
technical assistance contact your Firetide dealer directly.
Unable to Ping Mesh Router
Try pinging from another Mesh Router or connect directly into the Router under question and
make sure you can connect to that router. If you need additional technical assistance contact
your Firetide dealer directly.
No Routes when Utilizing HotPoint Manager
Verify the neighbor count and if it exceeds 15 neighbors then you may need to add another unit to
give the mesh alternate paths.
