1 Firetide™ HotPort™ 3103 Indoor Wireless Mesh Node Firetide™ HotPort™ 3103 wireless mesh nodes enable instant deployment of wireless networks and provide a simple and reliable alternative to standard LAN cabling. Deploy Ethernet ports anywhere—instantly! HotPort nodes 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. HotPort 3103 wireless mesh nodes 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 the time -consuming process of creating wiring between offices, walls, floors, and different buildings is no longer necessary. 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. The HotPort 3103 nodes provide fast and easy indoor network deployment. 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 HotPort nodes with you to your new site. HotPort 3103 indoor mesh nodes are fully compatible with HotPort outdoor mesh nodes, thereby enabling the mesh to extend to outdoor applications. HotPort wireless mesh nodes employ a high-performance radio for optimized network coverage. Greater throughput between HotPort nodes enables you to extend your network applications with services that previously required greater bandwidth over expensive cabling. Four standard 10/100 Ethernet ports are built into each HotPort node. You can use these ports for connecting standard networked client devices. You can also use these ports to link the Firetide mesh network with an existing wired LAN or to the Internet through a DSL modem or network gateway devices. Each HotPort mesh node can operate freestanding or mounted to a wall. An external transformer supplies power from a standard 120 volt AC outlet. Firetide High-Performance Mesh Network Firetide developed the high-performance mesh network, based on the HotPort mesh nodes, to enable faster, easier, and more affordable network deployment. Firetide’s patented mesh networking technology (Firetide mesh routing pro tocol (FMRP)), makes it possible to survey, plan, and deploy an entire network within one day rather than weeks. 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 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 fix the problem.
User Manual 2 Firetide Mesh Network with Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Mesh Nodes Mesh networking can be compared to the Internet, where data can be rerouted onto 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 be improved by adding more nodes and enriching the density of the mesh. More redundant paths mean 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. Configuring the Mesh To configure the mesh, it is recommended to connect the mesh utilizing the default configuration and then change the desired settings using the HotView software. The software lets you change the settings (SSID, Channel, Encryption, IP address, and so on) on all nodes, rather than changing one at a time. This will save you time and ensure that the entire mesh is configured the same way. Security HotPort wireless mesh nodes support data encryption to help protect the confidentiality of transmitted data. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption can be used to protect data exchanged between any two ports in a wireless mesh. WEP (Wired Equivalent Policy) encryption is also available to protect data exchanged over the wireless links.
HotPort 3103 Indoor Wireless Mesh Node 3 Speed, Duplex, and Class of Service Settings You can configure each Ethernet port for 10 or 100 Mbps speed or for automatic speed negotiation. Network traffic between a HotPort node and devices connected to its Ethernet ports travels up to full wire rate (10 or 100 Mbps). Each port can also be configured for full- or half-duplex operation. You can also assign class of service settings to specific ports to configure the priority levels of these ports/services. Each port can be assigned a priority of Low, Medium, or High. The default priority of each port is Low. VLANs You can configure each Ethernet port to operate as part of a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network). A HotPort wireless mesh can support multiple VLANs. You can assign ports to different VLANs . Only ports belonging to the same VLAN can switch traffic among themselves. You can define up to 4096 VLAN IDs and create up to 16 multiple, logically separated VLAN networks within a single mesh. The HotPort mesh also supports VLAN trunks. Packet Filtering The HotPort 3103 can filter packets based upon the MAC address of the traffic. You can configure each Ethernet port to deny or permit access for traffic coming from or to specific devices (identified by the devices’ MAC addresses). Radio Modes and Power HotPort wireless mesh supports 2.4 GHz OFDM and DSSS radio modes as well as 5.0 GHz OFDM. The selected Radio Mode is applied to the entire wireless mesh. You can use the HotView software to display and modify the radio transmit (TX) power level for each node. Transmit Power Control The HotPort 3103 has the ability to Display/Modify Radio TX Power Level on a per node basis utilizing the HotView 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 HotView software 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 HotPort to its approved maximum power by setting the power level back to 100%. 2 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. 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 2 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.
User Manual 4 Network Gateway Interconnect (NGI) You can configure the HotPort wireless mesh to exchange netwo rk data to and from multiple external networks through network gateway interconnects. In mesh nodes with multiple NGIs to the same network domain, the interconnects are organized into Gateway Groups. Each Gateway Group can support up to 16 network gateway interconnects. Each node on the mesh can have only one Gateway Group interconnect. Gateway groups are not required when connecting to different network domains or if only one NGI is being used. The NGI feature provides both load balancing and redundancy when accessing various network services. This helps provide better wireless mesh data throughput because it allows packets to enter and exit the wireless mesh at the entry/exit point closest to the packet’s destination, thereby conserving wireless bandwidth and reducing the number of hops required to reach the desired destination. Mesh Management Using HotView Software You can configure and manage the HotPort mesh as well as change individual node settings using HotView software. HotView software runs on a separate workstation that can be connected directly to the mesh or remotely via a network gateway.
HotPort 3103 Indoor Wireless Mesh Node 5 Building a Firetide Mesh Network Installing, expanding, or even relocating a Firetide mesh network is easy and fast. Simply place a HotPort node wherever y ou need an Ethernet port and connect it to an AC power source. As long as the HotPort node is within operating range of other HotPort nodes, 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. Unpacking Your HotPort 3103 package contains the following items : • HotPort 3103 Indoor Wireless Mesh Node • Two Antennas • AC Power Adapter with country-specific AC cord • User Manual • Warranty Card • End User License Agreement • Getting Started Guide Easy Installation Note: The HotPoint 3103 is an indoor only product. Any modi fication to the hardware or software or enhancement of this product for use outdoors is strictly prohibited and will void your warranty Attach Antennas Attach both antennas to connectors on rear panel. Use only the antennas provided with the unit. Use of other antennas not authorized by Firetide is prohibited. Connect Ethernet devices Plug up to four Ethernet devices into the rear ports on the HotPort 3103. Add Power Connect the HotPort unit to AC power source. Also, start up all connected Ethernet devices. All of the LEDs on the HotPort front panel will illuminate during startup before changing to their normal state. Refer to page 9 for a description of the LED functions.
User Manual 6 Understanding HotPort Antenna Patterns HotPort 3103 Indoor mesh nodes 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 differe nt in the various spectrum bands, orientation of the antennas will enhance your coverage area. The antennas support the following frequency bands: 5.15-5.25 GHz; 5. 25-5.35 GHz; 5.725-5.825 GHz; 2.41-2.484 GHz (OFDM and DSSS modes). Line -of-Sight Improves Operating Distance Although HotPort wireless mesh nodes can communicate between walls and buildings, you can increase the working distance of your Indoor mesh node by avoiding obstacles made of dense materials, such as concrete and metal. Positioning the HotPort 3103 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 above obstacles to prevent interference. Creating 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 HotPort node within direct range of two or more HotPort nodes. It is not recommended to install your HotPort network in a linear, point-to-point 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
HotPort 3103 Indoor Wireless Mesh Node 7 HotView Mesh Management™ Software The HotView mesh management software provides a convenient, browser-based interface for monitoring all of the HotPort nodes on your mesh network. The HotView software is a Java-based application compatible with most Internet browsers and platforms, including Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. Although the HotView Mesh management software is not required for installing or operating your network, it provides an easy way to monitor and manage the mesh and your HotPort nodes. Because wireless connections between HotPort nodes are invisible, this software lets you “see” which units are within direct range of each other. The HotView software also provides additional security and optional configuration features.
