 + 
 +  * The MAC address is automatically filled in. 
 + 
 +  * Fill in a **Name** and a **description** of which node it is, e.g. Primary node main office. The more descriptive you are, the easier the nodes are to manage later. 
 +  * Select the hardware model of the node. 
 + 
 +  * The Advanced Settings are loaded by default according to the chosen hardware. Thus we advise you leave the **Advanced Tab** untouched, 
 + 
 +  ***Static Entry points** are an option if you want a fixed SSID at one node or a different SSID for each node. 
 + 
 +  * Static Entry points only works when** "Apply to all Nodes"** was** selected** during Entry point creation. 
 +  *  
 +  * Static Exit points only works if **"auto-detect"** is **deselected** during Exit Points creation. 
 + 
 +  * If the above two settings are correct, select a static Entry and/or Exit point. 
 + 
 +  * Click OK 
 + 
 +  * The node has now been added as a Known Node.

 +  * The node will take a few minutes to load its new settings.

 + 
 +  * **"Last contact"** should soon change from **"never"** to **"30 seconds ago"** as the node joins the mesh.
