Auto-Configuring Mesh Network
The Layer3 Mesh Backbone Auto Link Optimization which provides user friendly and simpler setting configuration. It can extend the wireless network to areas that are difficult or expensive to connect via Ethernet cabling. CERIO MAN-MESH provides Intelligent WiFi Mesh technology, Meshed APs self-configure and establish a high-performance, robust, and resilient network automatically, without any need for manual intervention or provisioning. Provide a full coverage wireless network without dead ends, no matter where you are, you can automatically and seamlessly connect to the optimal wireless signal at any time.
Self-Healing Networking with Per-Flow Optimization
This technology can prevent network paralysis from occurring. Each node in the WiFi Mesh Network is connected and communicates with each other. When a node in a mesh network environment is failure through a wired or wireless interface, Mesh will dynamically reconfigure and find the best link and automatically detect and forward traffic to other node link AP devices with Internet network connectivity. To ensure that the connection in the network can continue normally.
Multi-Channel Routing Protocols
Provides Layer3 Intelligent wireless mechanism and advanced proprietary routing protocols and algorithms continuously evaluate link performance by measuring a variety of factors, including signal strength, throughput, link cost, interference, and frame reception rates. Wireless APs take measurements individually and work together with neighboring APs to optimize overall capacity and client throughput. APs route traffic over different channels as needed to minimize per-hop performance degradation and maximize client performance.

MAN MESH Core Software Mode
The CERIO MAN MESH Intelligent Core Software Mode provides Layer3 Mesh Backbone Auto Link Optimization, it’s using simpler and smartest way to improve the connection quality of the wireless network which let a large number of users in the vast space can enjoy a stable quality wireless network. In addition, each node in the mesh wireless network system can be an independent, providing fast connection and a more stable wireless network. With Intelligent WiFi Mesh Topology, the wireless node will communicate with each other and can be set automatically, which greatly reduces the complicate setting procedure. The MAN-MESH Layer3 Mesh Backbone Auto Link Optimization another advantage is that when one of the wireless nodes fails or disconnected, the other wireless node in the mesh network can communicate with each other and recover the network connection automatically. Which is an excellent solution for large buildings or public areas, such as airport, shopping mall, large office, banquet hall and auditorium and IOT. Through the construction of intelligent mesh network, members can quickly deploy and reliably communicate information.

The architecture work with Cerio DR series AP management controller, enabling easy advanced log functionality.

The log functionality of the AP controller is very important as it helps network administrators monitor network conditions, troubleshooting, security audits, and performance analysis. These logging features enable administrators to monitor and manage the wireless network, quickly identify and resolve problems, and ensure network stability, security, and efficient operation. The main functions of the CERIO AP controller logs are as follows:

Authentication and Session Logs: When the AP as the authentication, it can record the status of authenticated clients, including their session status, in the DR-CA management controller log server. This allows for the retrieval of related information at any time through the DR-CA management controller log browsing center.

AP Local System Logs: This feature allows the local system log status of the AP to be recorded in the DR-CA management controller log server, facilitating future retrieval through the DR-CA management controller log browsing center.

Location Tracking Logs: This feature allows the AP to set up location tracking logs and record them in the log server. Using the Wireless Location Tracking Log feature of the DR-CA management controller, administrators can retrieve a list of information at any time. This includes which IP/MAC address was connected to the AP by a particular MAC client, the RSSI wireless quality, the VLAN, and the radio to which the client was connected.
