It is recommended that the MR84 be mounted to a wall or solid ceiling
using the mount plate for physical security reasons.
4.2.2.2 Pole Mount Using Mount Plate
Use the included mounting straps to mount the AP to a pole less than 3.9"
in diameter. Thread the mounting straps through the mounting strap slots to
secure the mount plate in a horizontal or vertical orientation.
4.2.3 Mount the MR84
Insert the posts on the mount plate into the attachment slots on the access
point.
4.2.3.1 Attach Antennas
Remove protective plastic covers from all four N-type RF connectors. Attach
appropriate antennas (and protective boots if included).
4.2.3.2 Aim Antennas
If you are using directional antennas, aim them appropriately to ensure
optimal performance for your specific network topography. Omnidirectional
antennas perform best in a mesh network when oriented vertically.
4.2.3.3 Powering the MR84 with the Meraki 802.3at Power over Ethernet
Injector (sold separately)
1. Plug the power cord into the PoE Injector and the other end into
wall power.
2. Plug an Ethernet cable that is connected to an active Ethernet
connection into the "IN" port on the injector.
3. Route Ethernet cable from the "OUT" port on the injector to the
Ethernet port in the bay of the MR84.
For more details, see Meraki 802.3at Power Over Ethernet Injector
datasheet.
4.2.3.4 Powering the MR84 with an 802.3at Power over Ethernet Switch
Route Ethernet cable from a port on an active 802.3at PoE switch to the
Ethernet port in the bay of the MR84.
The MR84 is Gigabit Ethernet-capable. To maximize device performance, a
Gigabit Ethernet-capable switch should be used.
4.2.3.5 Attach Power over Ethernet to the MR84
1. Remove the dust cover from the Ethernet port of the MR84.
