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
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
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 Filteri ng
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
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
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.

User Manual
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-o f-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
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. Registered users can download the HotView software and documentation from the Firetide web
site (www.firetide.com/downloads).
