Local Mesh Profiles
12.6.2.1.2
Name
Name of the profile.

Settings
12.6.2.2.1
Mode
Three different roles can be assigned to a node: master, alternate master, or slave.
Each role governs how links are established. Links are defined as either upstream
or downstream.
„ Master: The master is the root node that provides the upstream connection to
the ground network that the other nodes want to reach. The master will only
create downstream local mesh links to alternate master or slave nodes.
„ Slave: Slave nodes can only establish upstream links with master or alternate
master nodes. Slave nodes cannot establish downstream links with other
nodes.
„ Alternate Master: An alternate master node must first establish an upstream
link with a master or alternate master node before it can establish
downstream connections with an alternate master or slave node.
12.6.2.2.2
Mesh ID
Unique number that identifies a series of nodes that can connect together to form
a local mesh network.
12.6.2.2.3
Allowed Downtime
The maximum time (in seconds) that a link can remain idle before the link
actually gets deleted. When a slave (or alternate master) looses its link to its
master, the discovery phase is re-initiated.
12.6.2.2.4
Minimum SNR
(Alternate master or slave nodes)
This node will only connect with other nodes whose SNR is above this setting (in
dB).
12.6.2.2.5
SNR Cost Per Hop
(Alternate master or slave nodes)
This value is an estimate of the cost of a hop in terms of SNR. It indicates how
much SNR a node is willing to sacrifice to connect to node one hop closer to the
root node, because each hop has an impact on performance, especially when
using a single radio.
