 + 
 +  * MESHdesk also automatically detects if a node is connected to a gateway (Ethernet cable etc), thus showing you your primary node. 
 + 
 +  * Click on the node with the **"yes"** under the **"gateway"** column, the primary node, first and click the** Attach** Icon in the Actions Toolbar

 +{{:userguide:md:attach_node.png?500|}} 
 + 
 +  * Select your mesh e.g. Bean There Mesh 
 + 
 +  * 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. 
 + 
 +  * Click on the Known Nodes tab in the MESHdesk window. The Node should now be listed here. 
 + 
 +  * **"Last contact"** should soon change from **"never"** to **"30 seconds ago"** as the node joins the mesh.
