    If an optional power supply is used, it must be the one supplied by Meru Networks. The AP300 is only intended for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3af. All intercon- nected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equip- ment's associated LAN connection.

    Unpack the AP300 Unpack the AP300 The AP300 series has five models as shown below. Depending on which model you are installing, you will have either six or three antennas. The drawings in this chapter show six antennas. Radio 1 (Ant4, Ant5, Ant6)

  • Page 19: Installation Requirements

    Installation Requirements An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP300 to be mounted on the wall and over junc- tion boxes or molly bolts. There are holes for passing the PoE Ethernet or external power supply cable through the bracket if the bracket is mounted on a junction box.

  • Page 20: Additional Equipment

    Select a Location All AP300 interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the inter- connected equipment's associated LAN connection. In addition, the AP300 should be mounted in a loca- tion that meets the following conditions: Meru Access Point Installation Guide...

  • Page 21: Attach The Antennas

    Meru supplied antennas are suitable only for indoor use unless they are mounted in an outdoor enclo- sure. To achieve the best performance from your AP300, position antennas at a 90 degree angle relative to each other as shown in Figure 6.

  • Page 23 Access Point must be connected to the antenna connectors on the AP. The attached antennas must be the same model; if you replace one antenna, replace them all. Attach the antennas to the connectors on the AP300 (see Figure 8).
  • Page 24 Install the Optional Remote Antenna Mount on the Ceiling Use an optional Remote Antenna Mount (ACC-ANT-MIMO-MNT) for one or both AP300 radios to remotely connect the AP300 antennas. The Remote Antenna Mount allows you to relocate either your current antennas or the optional high-gain dipole antennas to a location with clearer signal paths to the other wireless devices in your network.

    If you are replacing AP200s/AP300s, the AP300 bracket can be mounted on the old AP200s/AP300s bracket with included shoulder screws; you don’t need to remove the old brackets. AP300 can also be directly mounted on third-party brackets. You can mount an AP300 in the following ways:...
  • Page 26 6. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the switch and the other end to the AP300 Ethernet port. 7. If you are not using a PoE device, connect an external power supply to the power connector and plug it into the wall.
  • Page 27 7. Attach a keps nut to each caddy fastener stud and hand tighten. Do not overtighten. 8. Align the AP300 mounting posts over the circular portion of the keyhole mounts, push the AP in and slide the AP down until it engages with the locking detents (see Figure 10).
  • Page 28 Install the AP300 Mount AP300 Above a Suspended Ceiling (Plenum) The optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit allows the AP300 to be mounted above suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 11). The installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails using clips.

Hold the AP300 next to the mounting bracket to estimate the height of the T-bar box hanger to provide enough clearance for the external antennas, which should be pointing down. 7. Adjust the height of the box hanger using the height adjusting screws (see Figure 10).
  • Page 30 3. Remove and discard the four rubber feet. 4. If the unit has white antennas, remove them and attach the black antennas provided. 5. Position the Hoffman bracket (ACC-AP300-BHE) onto the back of the AP300 with the four Hoffman mounting screws facing downwards.
