Abstract: A method of linking a mesh node to a particular physical location is provided which achieves a very high degree of linking accuracy. Linking is authorized to take place only when stringent location verification criteria have been met and utilizes a Linking Application Program in a compatible portable device such as a smartphone. The Linking Application Program takes the installer through a step by step installation and linking process that ensures the maximum possible linking accuracy. The verification criteria requires that the pertinent data be gathered and then utilized to ascertain if indeed a mesh node being installed is in the right location.
