The MR72 may be operated in "Run Dark" mode for additional security and to reduce the visibility of the access point. In
this mode, the LED will not be illuminated. This mode may be enabled through the Meraki dashboard.
Ethernet Port
The MR72 features a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3af power. This port should be used for uplink to your
WAN connection.
N-Type antenna attachement ports (4x)
2x N-Type antenna ports are located at the top of the MR72 and 2x are located at the bottom of the MR72. The pairs of
antenna ports each correspond to the 2 client serving radios. The spectrum that each pair serves is printed on the shell
of the MR72.
Mount plate attachment slots (4x)
The mounting slots located on the rear shell of the MR72 marry to the 4 mounting posts on the mounting plate, securely
fastening the MR72 to the mounting plate.
Factory reset button
The factory reset button is located in a small pin-sized hole just above the Ethernet port of the MR72. If the button is
pressed and held for at least five seconds and then released, the MR72 will reboot and be restored to its original factory
settings by deleting all configuration information stored on the unit.
