Operating Scheme
The operating scheme determines an EnRoute500’s role in the mesh network. Typically one of
two configurations will be used in a network:
• All EnRoute500s will be configured as repeater devices to create a stand-alone mesh
two configurations will be used in a network:
• All EnRoute500s will be configured as repeater devices to create a stand-alone mesh
neighborhood
• At least one of the EnRoute500s in a mesh neighborhood will be configured as a gateway
device, with the remaining devices configured either as gateways or repeaters. The
gateway devices are connected to an external network using the devices’ Ethernet
interfaces. This network configuration will create an Internet extension network.

Repeater
The EnRoute500 will function as a relay in the mesh network.
Client devices can connect to the EnRoute500 using both wired
(10/100 Ethernet) and wireless (built-in virtual APs) interfaces.
The EnRoute500 can provide IP addresses to clients on both the
wired and wireless interfaces.

CLI
The EnRoute500’s operating scheme is set with the ‘scheme’ parameter in the ‘sys’ interface.
Valid values are ‘apgateway’ and ‘aprepeater’. For example, set the operating scheme to
gateway mode with:
Valid values are ‘apgateway’ and ‘aprepeater’. For example, set the operating scheme to
gateway mode with:
> use sys
sys> set scheme=apgateway
sys> set scheme=apgateway
Web GUI
The operating scheme can be set via the web interface using the “System” tab on the “System
Parameters” page.
