NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 1Your CloudMesh Satellite works best when it is placed in a central location to the area you want to cover. Ideally, it should be located no more than two rooms away from the CloudMesh Gateway.
NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 3Before you begin, ensure your CloudMesh gateway is connected to the Internet.

  1. Connect the Power Adapter to the CloudMesh Satellite. Ensure that the power switch is in the ON position.
    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 4Wait ten minutes for the CloudMesh Satellite to initialize and then check the light status. A solid white or blue light means the satellite has been paired with the Gateway and is ready to use.
  2. A solid red light means that the Satellite needs to be moved closer to the Gateway. If after ten minutes, the light is still flashing blue, follow the instructions on page 14.
    Your CloudMesh Satellite light follows this sequence when first turned on:
    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 5 NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - icon 3 Blinking green Powering up
    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 6 NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - icon 4 Blinking blue Ready for pairing

    See the next page & page 14 for more instructions
    When connected to the CloudMesh Gateway, the light shows the signal strength as follows:

    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 7 NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - icon 5 Solid white Good signal
    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 8 NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - icon 6 Solid blue Medium signal
    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 9 NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - icon 7 Solid red Poor signal
    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 8 NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - icon 4 Blinking blue No signal / too far from gateway / not connected
    to mesh network

    You can extend the range of your network using multiple CloudMesh Satellites. These can be wirelessly connected to the CloudMesh Gateway.
    Once you have decided where to place the CloudMesh Satellites, always power up the Satellite closest to the CloudMesh Gateway first. Once you have confirmed this  Satellite is working, then power up and connect the second CloudMesh Satellite.
    The light may also show as:

  3. Once you have decided where to place the CloudMesh Satellites, always power up the Satellite closest to the CloudMesh Gateway first. Once you have confirmed this Satellite is working, then power up and connect the second CloudMesh Satellite.
    NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 13There are multiple ways your CloudMesh Satellites could connect to your CloudMesh Gateway to provide whole home wireless coverage.
    If the CloudMesh Satellite light is still blinking blue after five minutes, you will need to pair it with the CloudMesh Gateway.
  4. Place the CloudMesh Satellite next to your CloudMesh Gateway. Ensure that the CloudMesh Gateway is connected to the Internet.

WIRELESS BRIDGE

The CloudMesh Satellite can provide Internet access to devices that are not wireless, such as desktop PCs or Smart TVs. Up to two devices may be connected in this way per CloudMesh Satellite, connecting at the back of the Satellite using the included yellow network cable.

WIRED MESH

For the best possible wireless performance, you can connect the CloudMesh Satellite to your CloudMesh Gateway using an Ethernet cable. This allows you to extend the range of your network when the satellite is not in the wireless range of your gateway.NetComm NS 02 CloudMesh Satellite Access Point - Figure 20
