Installation Guide
The Aruba AirMesh MST200 is a resilient, environmentally hardened, outdoor rated, single-radio IEEE
802.11 a/n wireless mesh access router. This router is part of Aruba's comprehensive wireless network
solution.The MST200 delivers high-performance outdoor wireless mesh connectivity for remote locations
and devices such as IP video surveillance cameras, remote sensors, and digital signage. The MST200 is also
ideal for point-to-point outdoor mesh links between buildings and remote sites.
MST200 requires the Aruba MeshOS operating system.
There are two versions of the MST200, which mainly differ in the way they receive power.
MST2HP: Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+) powered (802.3at)
