Mesh - system_mode(manual)

I realize that using SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL) prevents the micro from connecting to the cloud.

But about mesh connection? Is the mesh connection also prevented by using SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL) ?

Mesh is like WiFi, on a Photon if you do SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL) then after startup you need to turn on the WiFi module before you can use it. Mesh.connect() will turn it on and connect.

Thank you @armor.

Probably also need:

Mesh.on();
