About AltoPlex wireless links

These general guidelines may vary depending upon specific network topology. Keep your specific network requirements in mind.

• When planning, designing, and deploying your network, give priority to the distribution nodes to benefit the entire network. Devices closest to the point of presence (PoP) will have the heaviest traffic.
• Links between distribution nodes are often built first to facilitate throughput, starting at the PoP.
• Links between distribution nodes and client nodes are often added after distribution node links are up and running.
• Consider the distribution and density of clients during the design and planning of networks. Up to fifteen clients can link to one distribution node. However, dense enviroments are likely to have more interference, and linking clients to different distribution nodes allows you to manage interference among dense client networks by using different channels.

• Links between distribution nodes can be configured after installation in the field by using the DN link auto-configuration feature. They can also be configured manually, generally by using bench configuration prior to installation, by setting the DN responder link on each distribution node.
• Links between distribution nodes and client nodes are configured on the distribution node in the CN responder list setting. This is typically done as clients are installed.
