45. all links in the 195Eg network is 100 If the Path Costs are equal then the lowest MAC address will determine the priority route In the ESTeem Mesh Network we want to directly control all data flow so do not want the routes to be automatically determined Looking again at our Example in Figure 4 if we made no changes to the default path cost of 100 note values in Figure 3 the lowest path cost would be direct from the Remote Building to the Root Bridge Plant Network Link Description Number of Routes Total Path Cost Direct from Remote Building as ee ee Remote Build to Root Bridge Through Repeater 2 200 To configure the 195Eg to select the repeater as the primary radio path set the path cost value for the direct link greater than 200 to make this the primary radio path The lowest path cost will identify the highest priority The Model 195Eg will use this routing but also switch to direct communication if the repeater were to disappear Root Bridge In any Access Point Repeater network consisting of more than two sites one Model 195Eg should be designated as the Root Bridge Only one Model 195Eg can be designated as the Root Bridge in a given network and should be located where the majority of the Ethernet data flow is processed This site may be the Master location in a SCADA network or could be configured at a repeater site Selection is important because all Model 195Eg s NOT configured as the Root Bridge will choose routing based
