3 GETTING STARTED
The Fluidmesh 1100 (FM1100) can operate both as a point-to-point
wireless bridge (i.e., running at Layer 2) or as a single radio mesh unit
(i.e., running at Layer 3). This manual describes the point-to-point
mode only. To operate the FM1100 as a mesh unit, an additional
software plug-in is required. A separate manual is provided with the
software plug-in.
3.1 Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge
A wireless bridge enables two local networks (i.e., network segments)
to communicate with each other. A sample network architecture which
includes the FM1100 operating as a wireless bridge is reported in Fig.
1. The wireless bridge is defined as “transparent” because its activity
is transparent to the network hosts. In other words, the wireless
bridge forwards packets from one network segment to the other
according to a “forwarding table” which is built by learning the network
topology from the analysis of the incoming traffic. In this
configuration, no explicit interaction between the wireless bridge and
the network hosts takes place.
The two network segments, connected to both sides of the wireless
bridge, will share the same IP addressing class. Thus, each network
host must use a unique IP address, i.e., it is not allowed to have two
devices sharing the same IP address.
3.2 Bridge IP Addressing
Each FM1100 is provided with a default IP address for its wired
Ethernet port, which is:
192.168.0.10
No IP address is associated to the wireless interface.
When you set up a wireless bridge using two FM1100 units for the first
time, both units will have the same default IP address equal to
192.168.0.10. It is recommended to change the IP address of one of
the two units in order to univocally address and configure the system
with no confusion (see Fig. 1).

3.3 Software and Hardware Requirements
An FM1100 unit can be configured through a Web-based interface. To
perform the Web-based configuration, you need a PC with a Web-
browser, an Ethernet LAN interface, and a crossover Ethernet cable.
Requirements List:
Cat5 Crossover Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors.
PC with the following characteristics:
Windows XP or Windows 2000. In this manual, we are
assuming you are using Windows XP and every instruction or
screenshot is based on this assumption. The FM1100 can also be
configured using other OS’, such as Linux or older versions of
Windows.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. An FM1100 can also be
configured using other browsers such as older versions of
Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari but the configuration using
these browsers has not been thoroughly tested. In this manual,
we assume that you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.
Wired Ethernet Network Card.
Hardware Requirements. Typical PC hardware allowing proper
operations of Windows XP and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.

4 Fluidmesh Hardware Set-up
The FM1100 is designed for outdoor operations in harsh environments.
The hardware is enclosed in a multi-band panel antenna enclosure that
can be mounted and oriented using the supplied pole-mounting
adapter as depicted in Fig. 2.
4.1 Proper Installation Procedures
The FM1100 comes with a pole-mounting adapter that allows the
installer to change the alignment of the antenna along both the
vertical and the horizontal axis.
There is a label on the back of the antenna enclosure that shows the
polarization of the antenna (Fig. 4). Two antennas forming a wireless
bridge must have the same polarization, so be sure to check the
correct orientation of the antennas to confirm that both sides have the
same polarization.
4.2 Powering a Fluidmesh 1100
The FM1100 can be powered only with the Power-over-Ethernet
injector provided within the Fluidmesh 1100 package (Fig. 3). The PoE
injector does not comply with the 802.3af standard and therefore it
cannot be substituted with a different injector.
The PoE injector can be powered with a 12V DC input. The connector
has a diameter of 2.1 mm with internal positive and external negative
feed.

4.3 Connecting and Configuring IP Devices and
Cameras
The FM1100 mounts one Ethernet port that can be used to connect a
camera or another Ethernet-compatible device. You should connect
any device directly using an Ethernet crossover cable to the PoE
injector. Use a straight patch cable to connect the PoE injector to the
FM1100. Make sure to use outdoor-rated cables (refer to Fig. 1 for
details).
The camera or the device attached to the FM1100 should use an IP
address belonging to the same class of the devices on the other
network segment of the wireless bridge.
The default IP address class is 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0.
4.4 Status and Link LEDs
A panel on the back of the FM1100 provides two LEDs indicating
Status and Link, as shown in Fig. 4. The Status LED indicates possible
unit malfunctions whereas the Link LED reports the quality of the
wireless link. The color of the LEDs and their meanings are
summarized in Table 1.
