Aruba MSR4000 Installation Manual

Aruba MSR4000 Wireless Mesh Router
The Aruba AirMesh MSR4000 is a resilient, environmentally hardened, outdoor rated, four-radio, dual-band
IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless mesh router. This outdoor mesh router is part of Aruba's comprehensive
wireless network solution. The MSR4000 delivers high-performance wireless mesh routing to outdoor
environments where wired connectivity is impractical or unavailable. The MSR4000 is ideal for deployment
in metropolitan and industrial areas, oil fields, mines, and shipping ports.
The MSR4000 requires the Aruba MeshOS operating system.
There are two versions of the MSR4000, which mainly differ in the way they receive power.
MSR4KP: Power over Ethernet (PoE+) powered

MSR4KAC: AC powered (100 - 240 VAC)

The MSR4KAC can function as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device by providing power through its Ethernet
port in compliance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
