MeshNetworks 30 Overview of MeshTray MeshTray™ MeshTray is a status and configuration application that reports vital and statistical information about the MEA card. Because MeshTray is a “tray” application, it stays in the desktop system status tray when it is minimized as shown in the following figures. CAUTION: Before starting MeshTray, you must have the MeshView application running to support many of the MeshTray features. The MeshTray icon is dynamic and changes to indicate both the current mode of operation and the state of the wireless interface. As shown in Figure 42 the MeshTray icon is depicting an inactive or disconnected state. The inactive state applies when a WMC6300 card is not inserted. The disconnected state applies if a card is inserted but is not yet associated with an IAP6300. Inactive MeshTray Icon Figure 42. Inactive MeshTray Icon When the WMC6300 is associated with an IAP6300, the MeshTray icon displays the Link Quality to the associated IAP as color-coded bars as shown in Figure 43. The greater the number of bars, the better the Link Quality. Active MeshTray Icon Figure 43. MeshTray Link Quality Indicator

MEA WMC6300 Windows User’s Guide 31 The MeshTray icon shown in Figure 44 indicates that the IP address has not yet been acquired from the DHCP server. When this happens, the IP field in the Status Tab displays a flashing or 0 IP (see Figure 45). MeshTray No IP Address Acquired Icon Figure 44. MeshTray No IP Address Acquired Icon

Reporting Interval If Enhanced Geo has been enabled on the WMC6300, the user will be able to set the reporting interval for updating the Geo-Position data for longitude and latitude or X, Y, Z positions for the Spherical Coordinate option to be displayed on the Geo-Position tab.

MeshNetworks 34 Server IP Address The Server IP Address is the address where the geo position is forwarded or reported to. Typically, this is a centralized server that displays the position of all devices on the network. User Priority Settings and Quality of Service Overview Classification of Data Packets The MEA system uses two methods to classify data packets in order to provide them the requested levels of service. The first is the use of the industry-standard Differentiated Services Code Point. The second is a proprietary system based on the assigned priority of the node’s user. Differentiated Services Code Point The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is defined in RFC 2474 as a part of the Differentiated Services (DS, or “DiffServe”) field. This field is defined for both the IPv4 and IPv6 headers. The DSCP is a dimensionless number used to index a particular class of traffic and, thereby, a particular transport behavior at each hop. These behaviors are known as Per-Hop Behaviors, or PHBs. Some basic code points are defined in RFC 2474 for backwards compatibility with the overlapping “Precedence” field in the IPv4 header, known collectively as Class Selector Code Points. Extensions to these, called Assured Forwarding and Expedited Forwarding classes, are defined in RFCs 2597 and 2598. Other groups of code points are reserved for experimental or site-local use. Most often, the indexed per-hop behaviors are described (and sometimes, implemented) simply in terms of queue prioritization of packets at each hop. However, the behaviors may incorporate other features such as traffic pruning to condition the traffic flowing from the node. For example, voice packets may be assigned a DSCP tag indicating the need for low-latency service. The transport can then intelligently decide to discard stale packets or prioritize new packets to provide the lowest latency possible while, perhaps, sacrificing raw bandwidth or reliability when the demand exceeds capacity. High priority data transfers might be tagged to indicate the need for high reliability. The transport can use this knowledge to increase buffering or provide extra retries, perhaps increasing the stream’s latency but serving the data reliably. Likewise, bulk data packets can be assigned “best effort” service so that the transport layer can intersperse them between packets needing lower latency or higher bandwidth. The MEA system extracts the DS field from IP packets as they enter the wireless mesh, either at the access point or at the subscriber device. The DSCP classification then serves as one of the inputs for selecting an appropriate behavior in the transport mechanisms. User Priority The MEA QoS system also augments the standards-based DSCP traffic classification system with a proprietary feature to implement hierarchical service on a per-user basis. While DSCP can be used to classify the traffic by payload, the User Priority feature classifies traffic by the user that originated it, tagging packets with an assigned priority level. Using this tag, data packets from high priority nodes can be granted preferential service over packets from lower priority nodes. The User Priority at each node is a managed variable with tight control granted to the network operator through the Device Manager utilities available in MeshManager. The user on the

MEA WMC6300 Windows User’s Guide 35 WMC6300 node is free to select a priority level through applications using the MeshAPI software interface. However, the network operator through the Device Manager can put bounds on each node, limiting the node’s user priority to a specific range or setting it to a specific value. The User Priority feature also underpins a secondary feature known as Emergency Mode. The Emergency Mode feature is also accessed by applications using the MeshAPI and can be used to temporarily grant the user elevated priority for use in emergency situations. However, this ability can also be tightly managed and granted by the operator through the Device Manager as needed. The current User Priority is assigned to every packet transmitted by the user of the node. This priority tag is preserved in each packet as it passes through the mesh until it reaches the final destination or the wired network A packet’s classification based on the current User Priority setting determines the latency, throughput, and reliability of the transmission of the packet, in both relative and absolute terms. For example, packets of one class may be provided relatively higher throughput in the presence of other lower-class packets, but may also have absolute time-to-live limitations, which will impact the reliability of delivery for packets in the class. A WMC6300 host user’s current priority and maximum allowed priority may be configured within a range of Low (priority level 0) to High (priority level 7). This User Priority feature is unique to the MEA network and only exists between endpoints within the MEA network or between a MEA network node and the entry/exit node on the MEA network. Nodes outside of the MEA Core LAN cannot request a particular priority for transmitted or received traffic. Any traffic into the MEA network needing prioritization must be prioritized at the entry access point or router. Any traffic out of the MEA network will lose its priority assignment at the exit. Service Differentiation Mechanisms The MEA wireless mesh network leverages intelligent and adaptive transport mechanisms in every node in the mesh, including subscriber devices, to provide QoS behaviors. At each hop, the DSCP and User Priority classifications serve as inputs to dictate transport behaviors using these mechanisms. In this way, the mesh nodes cooperate to provide appropriate transport service to packets, even across multiple hops through the mesh IAP Support for Quality of Service The IAP queues and shapes traffic as it is relayed into the wireless mesh from the wire, in accordance with the DSCP coding in each packet. As many deployment scenarios have the vast majority of packets entering the mesh at the access points, this mechanism is particularly effective for shaping the traffic in a manner that optimizes the use of bandwidth at what is the main point of contention on most networks. The IAP provides pre-determined QoS levels to its data traffic it. Applications sending data that need prioritized traffic may be configured to set the TOS values in the IP packets at the source/destination devices. IAP support for QoS also provides equal fairness to all traffic within the same precedence class (TOS). Enabling QoS support on an IAP slightly increases priority of best effort UDP traffic over the TCP traffic. The entries in the table below show the minimum guaranteed bandwidth to traffic at various precedence levels. In the absence of traffic at any class, the bandwidth will be distributed amongst other classes, insuring that no bandwidth is wasted.

MeshNetworks 36 IP Precedence % Bandwidth 14 25 % 12 18 % 10 14 % 8 14 % 6 9 % 4 8 % 2 7 % 0 5 % Priority Levels for Local Nodes The User Priority service can be provisioned on a per node basis for use with tiered service and emergency access systems. This priority feature is unique to the MEA network and only exists between endpoints within the MEA network or between a MEA network node and the entry/exit node on the MEA network. Nodes outside of the MEA Core LAN cannot request a particular priority for transmitted or received traffic. Any traffic into the MEA network needing prioritization must be prioritized at the entry access point or router. Any traffic out of the MEA network will lose its priority assignment at the exit. MEA wireless traffic will carry priorities attached to each packet. The MeshAPI can be used to tune the default priority of the local node. The available priority settings are assigned with the Priority Drop-Down box shown in Figure 46.

MEA WMC6300 Windows User’s Guide 37 Figure 47. MeshTray Configuration Tab Priority Settings Setting the Priority Level for the WMC6300 Use the Priority drop-down box to select the desired priority level (Level_0 to Level_7) for the address that will be assigned to the WMC6300. You should consult with your network administrator to determine the overall priority scheme that is currently being observed for your network application and the proper setting to be assigned to your device. There is also an optional Emergency mode for use by special applications. The priority for use in emergency mode is separately provisioned and must be explicitly enabled per node by the network operator. Addressing Scheme for Unified Modes of Operation With MEA Release 3.0, the concept of modes has been replaced by a Unified Modes of operation addressing scheme. The concept of unified modes of operation centers on the current state of network communication: Associated State and Unassociated State. There are three addressing schemes which allow the IT manager increased flexibility in deployment.

MeshNetworks 38 Figure 48. MeshTray Configuration Tab Addressing Scheme Network DHCP Scheme Operation under the Network DHCP scheme is similar to that of Release 2 in Infrastructure Mode. The primary difference is users are now allowed to temporarily wander outside of the network infrastructure without losing connectivity. Network DCHP requires that the user's host device be configured to request an address from a DHCP server and the inclusion of a DHCP server in the core network configuration to answer these requests. With Network DHCP selected, the network device will forward any DHCP requests to the core network once it becomes associated and establishes communications with the infrastructure. The server may be configured by the operator to hand out temporary or static leases. The user must associate and acquire an address from the network before establishing communications. Once a lease has been granted, the address may be dragged out of network coverage for the remainder of the lease or, if a static lease was granted, until the next power cycle. If the lease expires or the user cycles power while outside of network coverage, the user will again lose the ability to communicate. This scheme is best for a larger, closely managed network of subscribers who don't need to communicate or communicate only briefly outside of network coverage.

MEA WMC6300 Windows User’s Guide 39 Statically Provisioned Scheme Operation under the Statically Provisioned scheme is similar to that of Release 2 in Peer-to-Peer Mode. The primary difference is that addresses are configured by the network operator rather than hashed from the MAC address. This serves to eliminate the 10.x.x.x limitation on the network range. When operating under the Statically Provisioned scheme, the network device will accept DHCP requests from the user's host and internally generate responses to grant the host an IP address and assign any other provisioned options. This scheme requires that the host be configured to request an address from a DHCP server but does not require a DHCP server on the core network. It should be noted that a DHCP server can still exist on the network to hand out addresses to other nodes using the Network DHCP Scheme as long as the server's address range does not conflict with addresses assigned to devices using the Statically Provisioned or User Supplied Schemes. The granted IP addresses granted by the server and options are configurable per-device using MeshManager. The internally generated DHCP messages will assign the host a static lease to the provisioned address, which may be freely used to communicate while associated or unassociated. The operator must ensure that the provisioned addresses are routable and do not conflict with any other addresses in use. The operator is free to provision any option ordinarily provisioned by a DHCP server (subnet mask, DNS, etc.) through programming of the appropriate fields in each device using MeshManager. This scheme is ideal for a managed network of users who regularly need to communicate inside and outside of network coverage or for a network lacking a DHCP server. User Supplied Scheme Operating under the User Supplied scheme, the user's host device is configured to use a fixed IP address and subnet mask. The user is responsible for configuring options that would otherwise be configured by a DHCP server. It is also up to the user to ensure that the assigned address is routable on the core network (if core network access is needed) and that it does not conflict with other addresses in use. This is analogous to and carries the same caveats as plugging an Ethernet card into a LAN and manually assigning an address to the card. The user is free to communicate while associated or unassociated. This scheme is ideal for small, unmanaged networks lacking a DHCP server. All of these schemes may be assigned per device, either by the user or by the network manager. The network manager can also limit the user-selectable schemes or force a specific scheme. Devices in each of these schemes can interoperate and communicate with each other, so long as the assigned addresses do not conflict and are mutually routable. Setting the User Supplied IP Address To setup the addressing for the User Supplied Scheme, first obtain a valid IP address from your Network Administrator. This is the IP address to be entered in the IP Address box on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog General tab.
