- Log on using the Mesh Project viewer. By default, the Mesh Open Beta viewer will connect you to the aditi developer grid; as the region, specify any of the active mesh regions, for example, Mesh City, Mesh City 2, Mesh City 3, Mesh City 4. If you have any problems logging in, see these instructions on getting your account set up on aditi.
