Accessing the Interface Logging In Accessing the interface requires that the device is connected to a power source. The device has three separate modes of access to ensure easy set-up and management. The device can be accessed without connection to the LAN (via 2.4 GHz mobile device connection), through the local LAN (if the device is connected to the LAN) or from outside of the LAN via a public IP address. Access Method Connecting to GUI Via 2.4 GHz Wireless Connection On any device with an 802.11 2.
The Dashboard After logging into the interface, if B5-160 is connected to another Mimosa B5-160 the home page will show a dashboard that reflects the current performance of the device and link information. You are now ready to explore the sections within the interface to setup, manage, and monitor your B5-160.

Wireless The Wireless tab contains all necessary components for configuring the wireless link.
Link Link Name (SSID) Change/Set the name of the wireless network. Device Mode Choose whether the device will act as an Access Point or a Station. The Access Point settings will determine the characteristics of the network while Station devices will be subject to changes made at the Access Point. Key (ASCII Passphrase) Change/Set the password for the wireless network.
Channel Country Select the country in which the device will be operating. Bandwidth Select the size of the channels that will be used in the link. Mimosa products allow for selection up to 80 MHz for channel width. Base Frequency (MHz) Either choose a channel on which to operate the link or choose Auto. If Auto is chosen, the device will automatically choose the channel with the least interference.
Power Power The maximum allowed power rate is determined by a combination of country and chosen frequency. If a power level is not chosen, the B5-160 will default to the highest power level allowed in the chosen country/frequency combination. Max Coding Rate Sets the maximum coding rate available for use by the link. Selecting Auto will allow the link to use the highest coding rate available.
Tools The Tools tab has everything you need to measure signal levels for antenna aiming, spectrum analysis optimize, and link diagnosis. Fine grained signal meter used for aiming the Mimosa device Displays all links visible in the area and any pertinent information on those networks.
Signal Meter frequency and distance values are displayed at the bottom of the page. The Signal Meter provides a real time signal level in dBm for an established link. It provides fine adjustment information to optimize the aiming of the link to achieve the highest signal level possible. The AP device and Station device must be first configured with the same link info (SSID and security key).
Site Survey SSID SSID name of devices detected in the scan survey. Signal Strength Signal strength of the specific SSID link in dBm. Noise Amount of noise detected in the frequency/channel. Frequency Current frequency utilized by a detected device. The Refresh button in the upper right corner will update this information to an up to the second view. The Download button in the upper right corner will extract this information into a CSV formatted file.
Spectrum Analyzer immediate area, and the less likely it will be to affect the performance of the radio. The spectrum analyzer displays observed interference levels created by other wireless devices, and is displayed by Frequency/ Channel. The X-axis of the spectrum analyzer graph displays the frequency/channel of the observed radio interference.
Device Discovery The Device Discovery displays the Name, Product, Mode and SSID of any devices on the network that are active in the area. The Refresh button in the upper right corner will update this information to the most current view. The Download button in the upper right corner will extract this information into a Device Discovery CSV file. Traceroute The Traceroute function assumes that the current device you are logged into is one end of the route.
Administration The Administration tab is used to configure device networking, remote access and other IP services, device diagnostics, and device reboot and resetting. Modify device passwords for the Configure and Monitor modes of the GUI interface Configure remote management and additional IP services. Manage the use of the 2.4 GHz management system Configure the types of notifications you will receive regarding your device Update time and location settings based on the exact location of your device.
Password Secure Web Server (HTTPS) Indicate which TCP port will be used for the secure web server. Dynamic DNS The device provides Dynamic DNS software which interoperates with several diferent DDNS services. To use Dynamic DNS, you must already subscribe to a DDNS provider (refer to the drop-down in the interface for a list of compatible providers). Required parameters for activation include the Host Name of the DDNS service, and your Username and Password.
WiFi Console WARNING: If you turn of the 2.4 GHz management, you must have an inband method of accessing your device. If you have turned of your 2.4 GHz management and are now unable to access your device, you may always access your device via your Recovery SSID. Network Mode Enable or Disable the 2.4 GHz management network. You can also set the mode to auto enable/disable. This mode turns the 2.4 GHz management system on for a limited time (2 minutes) when the device is being booted and then turns of.
