Map Container
MIB Reader
Alarm Viewer
User can switch the view of the NMS by select the tabs at the left bottom corner, as illustrated,
or through the menu bar.
4.2.1.1 Map Container
The Map Container is the section where user can monitor and manage the mesh network.
The network will be displayed in the form of graphical topology map, and the status will be
updated periodically.
The center frame of the Map Container is the space to plot the topology map. More than one
map can be created and run simultaneously. The status of the map will be logged to the
status pane at the bottom of the map. Each topology map has its own status pane.
The panel at the left of the map space is the Node Details panel. It is used to display the
properties of the selected Mesh AP unit on the topology map. The information of the AP will
be loaded into the table, and the graph below the table shows the signal strength between the
selected AP with its neighbour APs. The column at the bottom of this panel is used to invoke
the live stat monitoring feature.
The right panel, meanwhile, is to display the details of the clients associated to the Mesh AP
unit. The panel is divided into two parts, the Client Properties and Client Signal Strength
portion. Each portion will be automatically updated every minute, to provide the admin user

4.2.3 Features
4.2.3.1 Create Map
In the NMS, two topology maps are available: SNMP Map and Layer-2 Map. These two types
of map look similar. The main difference between them is the method to get the topology
information.
•
•
The SNMP Map is the ordinary type, where it uses the SNMP protocol to collect the
topology from the nodes discovered, and then plot the map using the collaborate data.
Whereas the Layer-2 Map opens a specific port to listen for the notification from the
the NMS terminal (IP Address) to the node. Thus in fact, the Layer-2 Map can receive
the notification not only from the layer-2 mode AP, but any other mode as well, as
long as the NMS Address table is set.
In order to create a new Topology map profile, user can click on the Create New button on
the main toolbar, or select File > Create New from the menu bar. A window would turn out to
prompt user for the type and name of the new map. User may select the type of the profile
from the drop down list, and enter the name in the provided column.
Please be aware that special character such as #, $, % (except _), are not allowed to use as
the name of the topology map name to avoid data corruption, since the name of the map will
be used as the header of their data file. On the other hand, the system also not allow user to
create a new profile with the name of the existing map in the NMS.
Two Profile Types can be found, SNMP Map and Layer 2 Map. Please chose SNMP Map for
Layer 3 mode Mesh Network Management and Layer 2 Map for Layer 2 Mode Mesh Network
Management.
Hit the OK button to proceed, or Cancel to close the window.

Please make sure your Layer 2 Mesh Nodes are pre-configured for this MnM
installed PC. Otherwise, MnM can not display your Mesh nodes in the map also
cannot show the correct information at the mean time. Please also refer to Web
guide section 3.5.10 for more.
Note
4.2.3.2 Open Map
In stead of create a brand new topology map, user can re-open the map profile that has been
saved previously. Click the Open Map button, or select File > Open Map from menu bar, a
file chooser window would appear on the screen, to prompt user to choose a map. Select the
desired one, and hit the Open button. The profile will be loaded to the NMS with all its
settings.
4.2.3.3 Save Map
As mentioned previously, the settings of the map profile can be saved to be loaded in the
future. Details of the map, for instance, the coordinate and SNMP passwords of the Mesh AP
units on the map, background image and block list, will be saved as a setting file.
In order to save a profile, select the Save Map button or File > Save Map from the map
container toolbar of that particular map profile you wish to save. Note that if user is trying to
save a map profile that has a same name as one of the existing profile, a warning message
would appear to get confirmation from the user to overwrite the file. To proceed with the action,
click the OK button.
PLANET Mesh Network Manager Guide

By default, the profile will be saved to the Map folder in the program’s directory, with the name
of the map profile and extension .map or .l2map.
4.2.3.4 Topology Map
The topology map is actually the graphical representation of the actual Mesh network
topology which is being scanned. When a new scan is initiated, the result of the scan will be
processed by the NMS, and output to the map.
The AP unit would appear in different colors:-

notification sent by the AP and plot the topology on the map. Conversely, hit the Close Port
button or select Map > Close Port from the menu bar to stop listen to the notification.
Every new found Mesh AP unit will be place on the right top angle on the map, with zero
coordinate. Then user is free to move the AP unit around the map. Once user completes the
positioning, save the map, and the system will remember the new coordinates in the future
scan.
4.2.3.6 Map View
More than one topology map can be loaded to the NMS at the same time. By default, the
maps are viewed in cascade mode, where user needs to click on the tab at the bottom to
switch the map to view.
In order to change the view type, click the Tile button on the main toolbar, or select View >
Tile from the menu bar. The tile mode arranges the topology maps in a grid layout. To convert
the view mode to cascade, hit the Cascade button, or View > Cascade. The following figures

action in the status pane. Tick the checkbox at the bottom to log the status message to the
alarm log file, which will be saved to the folder Alarm_Log at the install directory.
4.2.3.8 Scan IP Address
The Scan IP Address is the IP Address that the scanning process uses when initiate a scan
for a SNMP Map.
User might enter the IP Address at the drop down list, or choose from the list. In order to
apply the new Scan IP, user is required to restart the network scanning. (A running scan will
be stopped when a new IP Address is selected.)
On the other hand, the Scan IP can also be set by selecting Settings > Scan IP from the map
container’s toolbar. A window would appear to prompt user for the new IP Address. Hit the OK
button to apply the change.
4.2.3.9 SNMP Community / Passwords (for Scan-IP)
The PLANET Mesh Network Management Tools use the SNMP method to read the topology
of the network. There are two types of SNMP key used for the topology scan, which are the
Commonly, the use of SNMP varies by its version. If a user select version 2c, the SNMP key
to use is a community; on the other hand, if version 3 is used, the SNMP key will be a
SNMPv3 username, with its corresponding authentication password and privacy pass phrase.
As you can see throughout this document, every feature that implements SNMP will have
both options (use version 2c or 3).
PLANET Mesh Network Manager Guide

Password: snmpv3password
Passphrase: snmpv3passphrase
4.2.3.10 Socket Port
The notification of an AP node is sent according to its NMS Address Table. The table defines
the IP Address and port number of the destination (NMS). For instance, if the admin has
added a table entry with port number 8000 at the AP, the NMS user can change the socket
port number to 8000 in order to receive the notification.
In order to update the socket port, select Settings > Socket Port from the menu bar. A dialog
box would appear on the screen to prompt for the port number, which range from 1 to 65535.
Hit OK to confirm the change.
4.2.3.11 SNMP Community / Passwords (for AP Unit)
In case if a Mesh AP utilizes a different community or passwords from the others, the NMS
might fail to read the topology from it. Hence, user might need to edit the individual AP unit
SNMP keys, by right-click the desired active node. Select Change v2c Community from the
popup menu to change the community; or click Change v3 Passwords to change the v3
keys; enter the correct value in the dialog box and click Change and Use SNMP Version X.
