It contains the following sections:
Safety Precautions Unpack the AP300 Determine Power Requirements Installation Requirements Install the AP300 Check AP300 LED Activity Where to Go From Here Safety Precautions IMPORTANTRead and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before installing and operating this product. If an optional power supply is used, it must be one supplied by Meru Networks. Warning!
This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power supply marked Class 2 or LPS and rated minimum 5Vdc, 3A. The AP300 is intended only 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. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP300 7 Best Practices for an AP300/AP1000 Network Best Practices for an AP300/AP1000 Network Read this section if you have both AP1000 and AP320i active simultaneously on the same network. The following best practices should be followed to get optimal performance from such a mixed network. AP320i and AP300 are interchangeable and fully compatible to share a virtual cell. It's like having two AP300s with different antennas. The only difference is that AP320i is detected as a such in the UI of the controller. If possible, do not deploy AP1000 and AP300/AP320i at the same physical location; we recommend that there be no overlapping coverage between AP1000 and AP300. If AP1000 and AP300/AP320i do have overlapping coverage, you have two options. Deploy them on seperate channels or make sure the ESS profiles on both AP types are unique. The chart below shows two ESS scenarios, one supported, one not supported.

Installing AP300 9 Determine Power Requirements Determine Power Requirements Power requirements vary, depending on which AP300 radios are deployed and what MIMO mode is used. See the chart below for supported power sources for different radio configurations. Radio 1 MIMO Radio 2 MIMO 802.3af PoE 802.3at PoE DC Power 2x2 2x2 3x3 3x3 2x2 3x3 2x2 3x3 802.af PoE Usage Do not recommend limitation below When using System Director 3.6/4.0/4.1 and 802.3af PoE, Meru supports radios set to any MIMO settings except 3x3 on dual radios. This is because two radios set to 3x3 MIMO using an 802.3af switch may not have enough power if the cable is too long. Shorter cables frequently work, however. Meru supports:
Single 3x3 radio Dual 2 x 2 radios Dual radio with one set to 2x2 and the other one set to 3x3 When using System Director 4.0 and 802.3af, the AP300 MIMO configuration is limited to the following:
3x3 for the 5 GHz radio 2x2 for the 2.4 GHz radio 802.3at PoE Usage When using System Director 3.6/4.0/4.1 and 802.3at, the following radio combinations are recom-

Single 3x3 radio Dual 2 x 2 radios Dual radio with one set to 2x2 and the other one set to 3x3 10 Meru Access Point Installation Guide 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installation Requirements Dual 3x3 radios are recommended with a limitation. Use 802.3at power for two 3x3 MIMO radios when the switch has a high enough power output to support all devices on the PoE. Calculate the amount of power needed by each AP300/AP320i in 3x3 mode (13 watts), add that to power required by other PoE devices on the switch and compare that value to the total power output from the switch. The calculation for 802.3at PoE use looks something like this:
(Number of AP300s * 13watts) + (sum of all other PoE devices power requirements) <= switch power provided For a list of supported PoEs, see the appendix Supported Power Over Ethernet Devices for Meru APs 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. The AP300 has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP300 with a standard security cable, such as those used to secure laptop computers. Purchase optional mounting kits to mount the AP300 either from the ceiling or inside an enclosure:

In addition, the AP300 location should meet the following conditions:
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling (plenum is supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP300 horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. 12 Meru Access Point Installation Guide 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Install the AP300 Access to wall outlet or a to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the controller. We recommend planning for about 50 clients per radio (or per interference region) if you plan to use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. For a data-only installation, plan up to 128 clients per radio, meaning 256 for AP320 and 128 for other AP300 models. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information. AP300 is designed to provide 360 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan place-
ment with this pattern in mind. Figure 4: Coverage Pattern for AP300 When Ceiling Mounted ceiling floor Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
Install APs toward the center of the building. Place APs about 80 feet apart. Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric service panels. For best coverage, orient antennas as shown in Figure 6. Attach the Provided Antennas All AP300s have six external antenna ports, labeled 1 - 6. These units operate with six antennas attached, even though some configurations dont use all six. Instead of attaching an antenna, you can cap unused antenna connectors with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators. (For a list of approved terminators, see http://www.merunetworks.com/merusupport.) Meru supplied antennas are suitable only for indoor use unless they are mounted in an outdoor enclosure (see Mount AP300 in a Hoffman Enclosure). To achieve the best performance from your AP300, position antennas at a 90 degree angle relative to each other as shown in Figure 6. The antennas do not have to be oriented exactly as shown in the figure, but it is important to maintain the relative angles. If for some reason you are unable to maintain those angles, the network still operates, but you may experience up to 20% drop in throughput depending on the antenna orientation. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc.

The attached antennas must be the same model; if you replace one antenna, replace them all. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP300 15 Install the AP300 Install the Remote Antenna Mount (optional) Use the optional Meru 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. The Remote Antenna Mount can be installed either below the ceiling tile or on the wall. The default orientation for the mount is suitable for a ceiling mount, but you can attach the mount to a wall with some modifications. Use one mount per radio; for example AP310 needs one unit, and AP320 needs two units.The Remote Antenna Mount uses low-loss plenum rated LMR195 cable and SMA connectors. To order this unit, contact your Meru sales representative and refer to part number ACC-ANT-MIMO-MNT. Figure 8: Remote Antenna Mount 4 2 2 0 0 The remote antenna mount kit includes:

Be sure to position the antennas vertically when an AP300 sits on a surface. Mount AP300 Vertically on a Wall Note:
If you are replacing AP150s, you can use the existing brackets: the AP150 and AP300 use the same bracket. If you are replacing AP300s, the AP300 bracket can be attached to the old bracket with included shoulder screws; you dont have to remove the old brackets. This bracket will also mount seamlessly into the Proxim AP4000 bracket and standard Cisco brackets. To mount an AP300 on a wall:
1. Using the bracket holes as a guide, mark the location on the wall for the two AP bracket mounting screws. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud. If you do not center the mounting screws on a wall stud, use plastic wall anchors. Orient the AP300 horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. 2. Drill holes at the locations you marked:
3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors 1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes. 3. 4. Screw in the screws most of the way. 5. Mount the bracket on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole mounts over the screw heads and sliding the bracket down. 6.

Installing AP300 25 Install the AP300 Mount AP300 Above a Suspended Ceiling (Plenum) Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount AP300 above suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 11). The installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP300 attaches to the T-bar box hanger. Note that AP300 mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than AP300 mounted under the ceiling. The AP300 with the metal enclosure exposed meets the requirements for fire resistance and low smoke-generating characteristics required by Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) for installation in a buildings environmental air space. You may need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation. Warning! When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling, power the AP300 only with a PoE, not a power supply. See Power Supplies for part numbers. Warning! Any Fast Ethernet (FE) cables installed in air-handling spaces should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-
handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP (Multi Purpose Plenum), or CMP (Communications Plenum). Use Ethernet cable that meets the requirements for operating in plenums and environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the NEC. To mount an AP300 above the ceiling with the optional T-bar kit, follow these steps:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rails where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling tile. 2. Unpack the T-bar hanger kit. 3.

Safety Precautions Chapter 3 Installing AP320i AP320i is supported by System Director versions 3.6.1 and greater, but full support begins with System Director release 4.x and later. Because of this, when using AP320i with System Director 3.6.1, the unit shows as an AP300, for example AP320 instead of AP320i. All AP320i units still function correctly, they just display as AP300 because AP320i did not exist when System Director 3.6.1 was released. This chapter describes how to install and configure an AP320i. It contains the following sections:

If an optional power supply is used, it must be one supplied by Meru Networks. Warning!
This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power supply marked Class 2 or LPS and rated minimum 5Vdc, 3A. The AP320i 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-

Installing AP320i 33 Best Practices for an AP320i/AP1000 Network Best Practices for an AP320i/AP1000 Network Read this section if you have both AP1000 and AP320i active simultaneously on the same network. The following best practices should be followed to get optimal performance from such a mixed network. AP320i and AP300 are interchangeable and fully compatible to share a virtual cell. It's like having two AP300s with different antennas. The only difference is that AP320i is detected as a such in the UI of the controller. If possible, do not deploy AP1000 and AP320i at the same physical location; we recommend that there be no overlapping coverage between AP1000 and AP300. If AP1000 and AP320i do have overlapping coverage, you have two options. Deploy them on seperate channels or make sure the ESS profiles on both AP types are unique. The chart below shows two ESS scenarios, one supported, one not supported. Supported ESS Scenario AP1000 Configuration AP320i Configuration Two Unique ESS profiles ESS Profile name in controller is UniqueName1 ESS Profile name in controller is UniqueName2 AP1000 and AP320i SSID string over the air Meru Meru Unsupported ESS Scenario AP1000 Configuration AP320i Configuration Same ESS profiles ESS Profile name in controller is same name ESS Profile name in controller is same name AP1000 and AP320i SSID string over the air Meru Meru Assumptions for the above best practices include:
AP1000 is using Virtual Port with BSSID Virtual Cell. AP320i is using Virtual Port with BSSID Virtual Cell. AP1000s and AP320is are on the same channel. (AP1000 and AP320i could also be on different channels.) AP1000s and AP320i is are on the same controller. (AP1000 and AP320i could also be on different controllers as long as each controller has a unique controller index.) 34 Meru Access Point Installation Guide 2012 Meru Networks, Inc.

Installing AP320i Installing AP320i Select a Location All AP320i interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the inter-
connected equipment's associated LAN connection. Ceiling mounting is recommended but wall mounting is also supported. In addition, the AP320i should be mounted in a location that meets the following conditions:
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling (plenum is supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP320i horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. We recommend planning for about 50 clients per radio (or per interference region) if you plan to use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. For a data-only installation, plan up to 128 clients per radio, meaning 256 for AP320i. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information. Access to wall outlet or a to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the controller. AP320i is designed to provide 180 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan place-
ment with this pattern in mind. Figure 14: Coverage Pattern for AP320i When Ceiling Mounted ceiling floor Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
Install APs toward the center of the building. Place APs about 80 feet apart. Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric service panels. If you install AP320i on a pole, keep in mind that coverage will be 180 degrees. Do not mount two AP320is back to back on a pole to achieve 360 degree coverage, however, because the two units could interfere with each other. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP320i 37 Installing AP320i Install the Access Point The AP320i ships with a detachable ceiling mounting bracket, making the unit ready for ceiling mounting. You can also use the included wall-mount bracket by attaching it to the default ceiling-
mount one that comes already attached. Installation directions are provided below. Mount AP320i in any of the following ways:

AP320i is not plenum-rated and should only be mounted above ceilings in non-plenum air space, such as a return airflow for air conditioning. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP320i 39 Installing AP320i Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount AP320i above suspended ceiling T-rails. The installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP320i attaches to the T-
bar box hanger. Note that AP320i mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than AP320i mounted under the ceiling. You may need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation. Warning! When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling, power the AP320i only with a PoE, not a power supply. See Power Supplies for part numbers. To mount an AP320i above the ceiling with the optional T-bar kit, follow these steps:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rails where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling tile. 2. Unpack the T-bar hanger kit. 3. Attach the mounting bar (depicted in Figure 18) to the mounting brace (which looks like a small handle) with the crossbar of the mounting kit sandwiched between them. See Figure 19.

Use a shielded Cat 5e (or greater) Ethernet cable in order to comply with international electromagnetic emissions limits. Check that the AP320i is operating correctly before replacing the ceiling tile to the ceiling. Verify correct operation using the LEDs, as shown in Check AP320i LED Activity. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP320i 41 Installing AP320i Mount AP320i Below a Recessed Ceiling The optional recessed ceiling mounting kit allows the AP320i mounting bracket (which is attached to the AP when it is shipped) to be attached to a recessed ceiling rail by extending the distance from the rail to the AP. This kit can be adjusted to fit either a wide or thin rail size. Note:
The recessed ceiling mounting kit is part number ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT-02 prior to AP revision N. As of revision N, however, the AP ships with a slightly different mounting bracket and utilizes ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT-03 for recessed mounting. Be sure to order the correct part number as associated with your AP revision. Refer to Figure 20 for examples. Figure 20: ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT-02 and -03 4 5 2 0 0 ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT-02 ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT-03 To mount AP320i below a recessed ceiling, follow these steps:
1. Determine the width of the ceiling rail to be used. This will tell you whether you need to adjust the extender bracket. If the ceiling rail is wider (23.8mm), you do not have to adjust anything;
continue to step 3. 2. For a narrow ceiling rail (22.2mm), adjust the bracket. Remove the two screws shown in Figure 20 and flip one side over. This will result in a narrower channel. Tighten the screws. 3. Attach the bracket to the AP by rotating it into place as shown in Figure 21. 42 Meru Access Point Installation Guide 2012 Meru Networks, Inc.

See Figure 23. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP320i 43 Installing AP320i Figure 23: Interlude Tile Bracket Note:
The interlude mounting bracket can only be used for APs post-revision N. The mounting procedure for the interlude bracket is identical to that described in Mount AP320i Below a Recessed Ceiling. Essentially, fit the bracket to the ceiling T-bar and twist the AP into place on it. Refer to the previous section for step-by-step instructions. Mount AP320i Vertically on a Wall Note that your AP320i may utilize one of two different wall mount brackets (depending on the product revision). Prior to revision N, the bracket twisted into position with the AP (shown in Figure 24). The updated bracket (post revision N) slides into place with three mounting screws. For the former bracket, follow the instructions below. For the updated version, refer to Using the Updated AP320i Wall Mount Bracket. The AP320i ships with a ceiling mount bracket already connected to the unit and an additional separate wall bracket. When wall mounting a unit, you will attach the wall mount bracket to the wall, then attach the ceiling bracket (including AP320i) to the wall bracket. If you are replacing an AP200, the AP320i wall bracket can be mounted on top of the old bracket using shoulder screws (not included);
you dont need to remove the old bracket. If you are replacing an AP150 or AP300, the AP320i can also be mounted on top of the old bracket after removing the ceiling mount bracket that ships attached by default (no additional screws required). To mount an AP320i on sheetrock or wall studs, follow these steps:
1. Using the wall bracket holes as a guide, mark the location on the wall for two AP bracket mounting screws. Orient the connected AP320i horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. 44 Meru Access Point Installation Guide 2012 Meru Networks, Inc.

Installing AP320i 47 Installing AP320i Using the Updated AP320i Wall Mount Bracket As of product revision N, the AP320 ships with a bracket that differs from that illustrated in Figure 24. The updated wall mount bracket attaches to the bracket that comes attached to the AP itself via three mounting screws that are provided in the box. Note:
If you are replacing an AP200, the AP320i ceiling bracket can be mounted on top of the old bracket using shoulder screws; you dont need to remove the old bracket. If you are replacing an AP150 or AP300, the AP320i can also be mounted on top of the old bracket once the ceiling mount bracket that it ships with by default is removed (no additional screws required). To mount the AP320i using the new bracket:
1. Attach the three screws to their corresponding locations (highlighted in red below) on the default bracket (which ships attached to the AP). Figure 29: Wall Mount Screw Locations 2. Using the wall mount bracket as a guide, mark locations for the two screws that will hold the wall bracket in place. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud.

Instead of attaching an antenna, you can cap unused antenna connectors with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators. (For a list of approved terminators, see http://www.merunetworks.com/merusupport.) To achieve the best performance from your AP332e, position antennas at a 90 degree angle relative to each other. The antennas do not have to be oriented exactly as shown in the figure, but it is important to maintain the relative angles. If for some reason you are unable to maintain those angles, the network still operates, but you may experience up to 20% drop in throughput depending on the antenna orientation. Do not leave any antenna connectors unterminated. All connectors on the AP must be terminated with antennas or with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators. (For a list of approved terminators, see http://www.merunetworks.com/merusupport. The attached antennas must be the same model; if you replace one antenna, replace them all. Install the Access Point AP332e ships several different mounting bracket components to allow for a variety of mounting options. You can mount an AP332e in the following ways:

AP332e is not plenum-rated and should only be mounted above ceilings in non-plenum air space, such as a return airflow for air conditioning. 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP332e 63 Install the AP332e Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount AP332e above suspended ceiling T-rails. The installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP332e attaches to the T-
bar box hanger. Note that AP332e mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than AP332e mounted under the ceiling. You may need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation. Warning! When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling, power the AP332e only with a PoE, not a power supply. To mount an AP332e above the ceiling with the optional T-bar kit, follow these steps:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rails where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling tile. 2. Unpack the T-bar hanger kit. 3. Attach the mounting bar (depicted in Figure 40) to the mounting brace (which looks like a small handle) with the crossbar of the mounting kit sandwiched between them. See Figure 41.

If an optional power supply is used, it must be one supplied by Meru Networks. Warning!
This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power supply marked Class 2 or LPS and rated minimum 12Vdc, 2A. For Power over Ethernet, an 802.3at connection must be used. The AP332i 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 AP332i Confirm that the shipping box contains the following:
AP332i 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP332i 69 Installing AP332i Wall mount bracket Two ceiling mount brackets (for varying sized ceiling structures) Screws for the mounting bracket 12V power adapter Additional Equipment A power source is needed to power the AP332i. The AP332i requires an 802.3at power source when operating with PoE. If this is not available, 12V DC power (2A rated) must be supplied. Installing AP332i Select a Location All AP332i interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the inter-
connected equipment's associated LAN connection. Ceiling mounting is recommended but wall mounting is also supported. In addition, the AP332i should be mounted in a location that meets the following conditions:
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling (plenum is supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP332i horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. We recommend planning for about 50 clients per radio (or per interference region) if you plan to use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. For a data-only installation, plan up to 128 clients per radio, meaning 256 for AP332i. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information. Access to wall outlet or a to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the controller. AP332i is designed to provide 180 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan place-
ment with this pattern in mind. Figure 43: Coverage Pattern for AP332i When Ceiling Mounted ceiling floor 70 Meru Access Point Installation Guide 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Installing AP332i Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
Install APs toward the center of the building. Place APs about 80 feet apart. Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric service panels. If you install AP332i on a pole, keep in mind that coverage will be 180 degrees. Do not mount two AP332is back to back on a pole to achieve 360 degree coverage, however, because the two units could interfere with each other.

When installing and operating these devices, keep a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between the antennas and any persons/users in the vicinity. Radio Frequency Interference Requirements Note:
Meru Access Points All devices except the OAP180 are indoor devices. The FCC requires indoor use for the frequency range 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High-power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with or damage to these devices, or both. Interference Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-
tion. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If the equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the equip-
ment may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guar-
antee, however, that such interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Regulatory Information 89 Canada. Industry Canada (IC)
(which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on), the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by taking one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Note:
The Meru Access Point must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Any other installation or use may violate FCC Part 15 regulations. Modifications not expressly approved by Meru Networks, Inc. could void your authority to operate the equipment.

For products available in the USA and Canadian markets, only channels 1 through 11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not authorized. Canada. Industry Canada (IC) The Class B digital portion of this apparatus complies with Canadian standard ICES-003. These devices comply with RSS210 of Industry Canada. Per RSS 210 A9.5 point 7:
(i) the device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-
5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and
(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appro-
priate, as stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, users should also be cautioned to take note that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
(iv) These devices are not permitted to operate in the 5600 - 5650 MHz band. For products available in the USA and Canadian markets, only channels 1 through 11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not authorized. 90 Meru Access Point Installation Guide 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Canada.
