The Smart Mesh Client Manager is the default view for the DustNetwork. Unlike many other driver’s Device Manager, there is no “learn” of device-level (SmartMeshClient) components. To create SmartMeshClient components, use the New button. This produces two dialogs, see Figure 2.

In the Figure 2 example, all fields were left at defaults except for Name and Hostname. You must always enter the hostname of the SmartMesh Manager (without any port number).

If the SmartMesh Manager is configured with “non-default” client-access credentials (hostname and password) or “non-default” control port, configure matching entries in this dialog.

After adding a SmartMeshClient, it immediately communicates to the SmartMesh Manager, and should list in the Device Manager table with an ok status, as shown in Figure 3.

If the SmartMeshClient shows a down status (yellow), double-click it for an Edit dialog (similar to New, see Figure 2), and review the properties for hostname, credentials, and control port.
