Install External Acc-Ant-Mimo-Mnt Antenna With Three Connectors (Optional)22 - Meru Networks AP300 Installation Manual

Install the AP300
Install the Remote Antenna Mount on a Wall
1. Reorient the cable on the Remote Antenna Mount by removing the three screws on the back,
removing the small cover, reorienting the cable and then replacing the three screws. Discard the
small cover.
2. Connect the three Remote Antenna Mount cables to the appropriate ports on the AP300. Be sure to
connect the three antennas that correspond to one radio. With dual radio, Radio 1 uses A4, A5, A6
and Radio 2 uses A1, A2, A3. For AP310/AP310-M, the single radio uses A1, A2, A3.

3. Attach three of the antennas that shipped with AP300 to the three ports on the triangular remote
device.
4. Orient the connected AP300 horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your
head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance.

(optional)
You can optionally use an external antenna setup with your AP300 if the controller and APs are running
System Director 3.6.1MR4 and later. Meru supports this antenna for use on one radio using 802.11n
MIMO. An AP300 with one radio, for example AP310/AP310-M, needs one antenna. An AP300 with two
radios, for e x a m p e l A
Two cables connect to ports A4, A5, and A6. There is no preferred cabling connection; all three cables
are the same.
Calculate the antenna gain for the ACC-ANT-MIMO-MNT antenna by referring to the next three charts:
