If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the MR57HW either through a PoE switch or a Meraki PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable into the MR57HWs Ethernet jack, and the other end into a PoE switch. Then connect the client machine over Ethernet cable to the PoE switch. If using a Meraki PoE Injector, connect the MR57HW to the PoE port of the Injector, and the clientmachinetotheLANport. 2.
