Access Points contain radio devices that communicate with the Meru Controller and form the wireless LAN (WLAN). The Meru Controller and Access Points connect to the sites wired LAN through wired switches. Wireless clients associate with the Access Points as they roam throughout the WLAN. As such, they are an extension of the wired LAN, providing the wireless benefits of client mobility, enhanced access, and dynamic network configuration. Figure 1 Wireless LAN Connected to a Network The AP433 Series Access Point series delivers high performance, full-speed, Wi-
Fi certified 802.11n connectivity while simultaneously supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g devices. It is particularly suited to deployments that make use of voice or video wireless applications. The AP433 Series AP are available in the configurations shown below. 3.2 AP433 Series Configurations Table 1, AP433 Series Configuration Table Model AP433e AP433i AP433is OAP433e Configuration Three dual-band IEEE Std 802.11n radios with 3x3:3SS MIMO and external antennas Three dual-band IEEE Std 802.11n radios with 3x3:3SS MIMO and internal antennas Two dual-band IEEE Std 802.11n radios with 3x3:3SS MIMO and a spectrum radio with internal antennas Three dual-band IEEE Std 802.11n radios (two with 3x3:3SS MIMO, one with 2x2:2SS MIMO) and external antennas

It contains the following sections, Safety Precautions Unpack the AP433e Determine Power Requirements Installation Requirements Install the AP433e Check AP433e LED Activity Where to Go From Here 4.1 Safety Precautions IMPORTANTRead and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before installing and operating this Product. The AP433e is intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE Std 802.3af and 802.3at. All interconnected equipments must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection. 4.2 Package Content, AP433e Confirm that the AP433e shipping package contains these items:
AP433e Nine (9) external antennas Wall mounting bracket Rubber feet Locking pin Two mounting screws 4.3 Determine Power Requirements Power requirements vary, depending on which AP433e radios are deployed and what MIMO mode is used. See the chart below for supported power sources for different radio configurations. Table 2, Power Source & Radio Supported in AP433 Power Source IEEE Std 802.3af IEEE Std 802.3at Radio Supported Radio 1 and Radio 2 Radio 1, 2, and 3 4.3.1 IEEE Std 802.3af PoE Usage When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier Version) and an IEEE Std 802.3af PoE power source, Meru only supports two radios (radio 0 and 1). This is because three radios using an IEEE Std 802.3af switch/PoE injector may not have enough power to operate properly. When using an 802.af PoE, Meru supports single or dual radios utilizing up to 3 antennas each. 4.3.2 IEEE Std 802.3at PoE Usage When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier version) and an IEEE Std 802.3at, all possible configurations are supported (all three radios utilizing up to 3 antennas each). or a list of supported PoEs, see the appendix Supported Power Over Ethernet Devices for Meru APs. 4.4 Installation Requirements An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP433e to be mounted on the wall and over junction 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 AP433e has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP433e with a standard security cable, such as those used to secure laptop computers. Purchase optional mounting kits to mount the AP433e either from the ceiling or inside an enclosure:
Above Suspended Ceiling Mounting Kit (T-Bar Hanger): MNT-SCRMKIT-01 Above hanging ceiling tiles. Suitable for use in environmental air space in accordance with the Section 300-22(c) of the National Electric Code and Sections 2- 128.12 - 010 (3) and 12 - 100 of the Canadian Electrical Code. Part 1. C22. 1. To complete AP433e installation, you need the items listed below. Table 3, AP433e Installation Requirements Installation Type Item Required Horizontal mounting Vertical mounting over a wall stud Vertical mounting on sheetrock Horizontal mounting below a hanging ceiling Mounting above a ceiling tile 4.5 Additional Equipments None Four #6 x 2" wood screws for a wood stud; or Four #6 x 1 metal screws for a metal stud Mounting bracket Four #6 x 1" screws Four #4-6 x 7/8 ribbed plastic wall anchors Mounting bracket None Mounting bracket MNT-SCRMKIT A power source is needed to power the AP433e. See Determine Power Requirements. 4.6 Install the AP433e This section describes how to install an AP433e, which is supported on System Director Version 6.0-SR1 and later. It contains the following subjects, Select a Location Attach the Provided Antennas Install the Access Point 4.6.1 Select a Location All AP433e interconnected equipment, including the associated LAN connection, must be contained within the same building. In addition, the AP433e 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 AP433e horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. Meru recommends 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. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information. AP433e is designed to provide 360 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan placement with this pattern in mind. Figure 5, Coverage Pattern for AP433e when Ceiling Mounted 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 2 AP433e. 4.6.2 Attach the Provided Antennas All AP433es have nine external antenna ports, labeled A1 A9. These units operate with nine antennas attached, even though some configurations dont use all nine. 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://support.merunetworks.com/.) Meru-supplied antennas are suitable only for indoor use. To achieve the best performance from your AP433e, user shall position antennas at a 90 degree angles relative to each other as shown in Figure 6, AP433e Antennas in Ceiling and Wall-mount Configuration. (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 will still operate, but you may experience up to a 20% drop in throughput depending on the antenna orientation. Figure 6, AP433e Antennas in Ceiling and Wall-mount Configuration Do not leave any antenna connectors opened. All connectors on the AP must be terminated with antennas or with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators. The attached antennas must be the same model; if you replace one antenna with a different type, replace them all. 4.6.3 AP433e Antenna Port-Radio Mapping Table 4AP433e Antenna Port-Radio Mapping Antenna Port A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 Radio (Stream ID) Radio 1 (first stream) Radio 1 (second stream) Radio 1 (third stream) Radio 2 (first stream) Radio 2 (second stream) Radio 2 (third stream) Radio 3 (first stream) Radio 3 (second stream) Radio 331 (third stream) 4.7 Install the Access Point AP433e AP433e ships with a mounting bracket included in the box. This bracket is intended for installation as a wall-mount; for mounting on a ceiling, no mount is typically required. See the following subjects for more specific details. Mount AP433e Horizontally on a Shelf Mount AP433e Vertically on a Wall Mount AP433e Below a Suspended Ceiling Mount AP433e Above a Suspended Ceiling (Plenum) 4.7.1 Mount AP433e Horizontally on a Shelf When mounting an AP433e horizontally, no mounting bracket is required. Be sure to position the antennas vertically when an AP433e sits on a surface. In order to ensure that the AP433e does not shift much, attach the rubber feet provided in the box to the bottom of the AP. Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this, the AP wont power up. 4.7.2 Mount AP433e Vertically on a Wall To mount an AP433e on a wall, use the provided mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 7, AP433e Wall Mounting Bracket Figure 7, AP433e Wall Mounting Bracket Place the mounting bracket against the wall with the sliding lock mechanism facing upwards. The Quick Reference Installation instructions on the bracket should be visible. Using the holes on the mounting bracket itself as a guide, mark the location on the wall for the AP bracket mounting screws. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud. (If mounting on a wall stud is impossible, use plastic wall anchors on the remaining screws.) 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. Line the bracket up with the holes and screw in the screws. Attach the mounting screws to the underside of the AP433e in the holes provided (indicated in Figure 8, AP433e Mounting Screw Holes Figure 8, AP433e Mounting Screw Holes Orient the AP433e horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo and the Console and network ports are pointed downwards - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. Align the mounting screws on the back of the AP433e with the corresponding holes on the mounting bracket. Slide the AP433e downwards until the screws click into the holes. They should seat fairly firmly. Slide the mounting brackets locking bar to the right, locking the AP in place. If desired, use the provided clip to lock the bracket shut by sliding it through the aligned holes on the right-hand side of the bracket. Attach the antennas to the AP. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the switch and the other end to the AP433e Ethernet port. See Figure 9, IO Port of AP433e Figure 9, IO Port of AP433e Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this, the AP wont power up. 4.7.3 Mount AP433e below a Suspended Ceiling The brackets on the bottom of the AP433e allow it to be mounted directly to a ceiling T-bar (see Figure 10). Note that the AP lock must be disabled by sliding the locking key (provided in the box) into the unlock hole on the side of the AP shown in Figure 9 in order to clip the AP in place (Figure 10: Mounting AP433e to a Suspended Ceiling Rail) Figure 10, Mounting AP433e to a Suspended Ceiling Rail To mount an AP433e below a suspended ceiling:
Determine the location on the ceiling rail where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling tiles. Verify that the AP is unlocked using the locking key on the unlock mechanism (on the same side as the Ethernet ports). See Figure 11, Unlock Figure 11, Unlock Press the AP433e against the T-bar at a slight angle and then rotate into place, as indicated in Figure 10. You should hear it snap in place. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna, orient the antenna and then retighten the ring. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the switch and the other end to the AP433e Ethernet port. See Figure 9, IO Port of AP433e Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this. the AP wont power up. Caution!
4.7.4 Mount AP433e above a Suspended Ceiling (Plenum) Warning!
Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount the AP433e above suspended ceiling T-rails (Figure 12, AP433e Mounted above a Suspended Ceiling Face Down). The installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP433e attaches to the T-bar box hanger. Note that an AP433e mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than an AP433e mounted under the ceiling. The AP433e 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. 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 AP433e above the ceiling with the optional T-bar kit, follow these steps:
Determine the location on the ceiling rails where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling tile. Unpack the T-bar hanger kit. Unlock the AP by sliding the locking key into the small hole with an unlocked image above it. See Figure 11, Unlock Attach the square bracket to the underside of the main support bar using the screws provided, as shown in Figure 12, AP433e Mounted above a Suspended Ceiling Face Down Figure 12, AP433e Mounted above a Suspended Ceiling Face Down Brace your hand against the back of the main support bar and press the AP433e against the square bracket in a similar manner to that indicated in Figure 10, Mounting AP433e to a Suspended Ceiling Rail Twist until the AP433e clicks into place. If desired, you can now lock the AP using the locking key. Attach the two legs of the mounting bracket to the T-bars on which the AP is to be mounted by sliding the clips onto the bars. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna, point the antenna down, then retighten the ring (or attach the antennas, if not already done). Remove a nut from each leg and slide the crossbar (with the AP attached) in place on top of the legs. Replace the two nuts, locking the bar in place. Connect one end of the PoE Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector. Check that the AP433e is operating correctly before replacing the ceiling tile. Verify correct operating using the LEDs, as shown in Check AP433e LED Activity. 4.7.5 Mount AP433e on a Dropped Ceiling Bevel Tile The mounting procedure for a ceiling that has recessed supports and lowered tiles is similar to that of mounting on a suspended ceiling. However, this procedure requires a specialized mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 13, Dropped Bevel Tile Mounting Adapter (MNT-SCRMKIT-03) Figure 13, Dropped Bevel Tile Mounting Adapter (MNT-SCRMKIT-03) Remove the ceiling tile alongside which the AP will be mounted. Be sure that AP433e is not locked by inserting the locking key into the Unlock mechanism as Align the mounting bracket with the AP433e slots used for the ceiling t-

Return to this chapter to check the status of the LEDs once the WLAN is operational. 5 Installing AP433i & 433is This chapter describes how to install and configure an AP433i & 433is, which is supported on System Director Version 6.0-SR1 and later. It contains the following sections, Safety Precautions Unpack the AP433i & 433is Determine Power Requirements Installation Requirements Install the AP433i & 433is Check AP433i & 433is LED Activity Where to Go From Here 5.1 Note This document depicts installation procedures for the AP433i and 433is models. Since both devices are externally identical, the same procedures can be used for either device. 5.2 Safety Precautions IMPORTANTRead and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before installing and operating this Product. The AP433i & 433is is intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE Std 802.3af and 802.3at. All interconnected equipments must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection. 5.3 Package Content, AP433i & 433is Confirm that the AP433i & 433is shipping package contains these items:
AP433i or AP433is Plastic attachment (used when paddle antenna is disconnected) Wall mounting bracket Rubber feet Locking pin Two mounting screws 5.4 Determine Power Requirements Power requirements vary, depending on which AP433i & 433is radios are deployed and what MIMO mode is used. See the chart below for supported power sources for different radio configurations. Table 5, Power Source & Radio Supported in AP433 Power Source IEEE Std 802.3af IEEE Std 802.3at Radio Supported Radio 1 and Radio 2 Radio 1, 2, and 3 5.4.1 IEEE Std 802.3af PoE Usage When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier Version) and an IEEE Std 802.3af PoE power source, Meru only supports two radios (radio 0 and 1). This is because three radios using an IEEE Std 802.3af switch/PoE injector may not have enough power to operate properly. When using an 802.af PoE, Meru supports single or dual radios utilizing up to 3 antennas each. 5.4.2 IEEE Std 802.3at PoE Usage When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier version) and an IEEE Std 802.3at, all possible configurations are supported (all three radios utilizing up to 3 antennas each). or a list of supported PoEs, see the appendix Supported Power Over Ethernet Devices for Meru APs. 5.5 Installation Requirements An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP433i & 433is to be mounted on the wall and over junction 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 AP433i & 433is has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP433i & 433is with a standard security cable, such as those used to secure laptop computers. Purchase optional mounting kits to mount the AP433i & 433is either from the ceiling or inside an enclosure:

SCRMKIT 5.6 Additional Equipments A power source is needed to power the AP433i & 433is. See Determine Power Requirements. 5.7 Install the AP433i & 433is This section describes how to install an AP433i & 433is, which is supported on System Director Version 6.0-SR2 and later. It contains the following subjects, Select a Location Attach the Provided Antennas Install the Access Point 5.7.1 Select a Location All AP433i interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection. Ceiling mounting is recommended but wall mounting is also supported. In addition, the AP433i 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 AP433i 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 AP433i. 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. AP433i is designed to provide 180 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan placement with this pattern in mind. Figure 17, Coverage pattern of AP433i & 433is when ceiling mounted 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. 5.8 Install the Access Point AP433i & 433is AP433i & 433is ships with a mounting bracket included in the box. This bracket is intended for installation as a wall-mount; for mounting on a ceiling, no mount is typically required. See the following subjects for more specific details. Mount AP433i & 433is Horizontally on a Shelf Mount AP433i & 433is Vertically on a Wall Mount AP433i & 433is Below a Suspended Ceiling Mount AP433i & 433is Above a Suspended Ceiling 5.8.1 Mount AP433i & 433is Horizontally on a Shelf When mounting an AP433i horizontally, no mounting bracket is required. Be sure to position the paddle antenna vertically when an AP433i sits on a surface. In order to ensure that the AP433i does not shift much, attach the rubber feet provided in the box to the bottom of the AP. 5.8.2 Mount AP433i & 433is Vertically on a Wall Prior to installing the mounting bracket, it is recommended that users remove the protective plastic shell from the AP. This makes it easier to properly lock the device in place once it is mounted. To remove the shell, flip the AP upside-down and release the four locking clips from the AP itself, as indicated in Figure 18, AP433i & 433is Shell Clip Locations Figure 18, AP433i & 433is Shell Clip Locations After unclipping the shell, it is a simple matter to lift it off of the main AP. See Figure 19, Removing AP433i & 433is shell Figure 19, Removing AP433i & 433is shell You are now ready to proceed with the wall mounting procedure. To mount an AP433i on a wall, use the provided mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 20, AP433i & 433is wall mounting bracket Figure 20, AP433i & 433is wall mounting bracket Place the mounting bracket against the wall with the sliding lock mechanism facing upwards. The Quick Reference Installation instructions on the bracket should be visible. Using the holes on the mounting bracket itself as a guide, mark the location on the wall for the AP bracket mounting screws. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud. (If mounting on a wall stud is impossible, use plastic wall anchors on the remaining screws.) Drill holes at the locations you marked:
o o 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. Line the bracket up with the holes and screw in the screws. Attach the mounting screws to the underside of the AP433i in the holes provided (indicated in Figure 21, AP433i & 433is mounting screw holes) Figure 21, AP433i & 433is mounting screw holes Orient the AP433i horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo and the Console and network ports are pointed downwards - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. Align the mounting screws on the back of the AP433i with the corresponding holes on the mounting bracket. Slide the AP433i downwards until the screws click into the holes. They should seat fairly firmly. Slide the mounting brackets locking bar to the right, locking the AP in place. If desired, use the provided clip to lock the bracket shut by sliding it through the aligned holes on the right-hand side of the bracket.See Figure 22, Locking the AP433i & 433is in Place Figure 22, Locking the AP433i & 433is in Place Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the switch and the other end to the AP433i Figure 23, Ports for AP433i & 433is Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this, the AP wont power up Caution!
5.8.3 Mount AP433i & 433is below a Suspended Ceiling The brackets on the bottom of the AP433i allow it to be mounted directly to a ceiling T-
bar (see Figure 24, Mounting AP433i & 433is to a Suspended Ceiling Rail). Note that the AP lock must be disabled by sliding the locking key (provided in the box) into the unlock hole on the side of the AP shown inFigure 23, Ports for AP433i & 433is in order to clip the AP in place. Figure 24, Mounting AP433i & 433is to a Suspended Ceiling Rail To mount an AP433i below a suspended ceiling:
Determine the location on the ceiling rail where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling tiles. Verify that the AP is unlocked using the locking key on the unlock mechanism (on the same side as the Ethernet ports). Press the AP433i against the T-bar at a slight angle and then rotate into place, as indicated in Figure 24, Mounting AP433i & 433is to a Suspended Ceiling Rail. You should hear it snap in place. Connect one end of the PoE Ethernet cable to the APs Ethernet port
(see Figure 25, Ports of AP433i & 433is) Figure 25, Ports of AP433i & 433is Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this. the AP wont power up. Caution!
5.9 Check AP433i & 433is LED Activity When AP433i & 433is first connects to the controller (and any time the access point is rebooted), the AP initializes and is then programmed by the controller. When the AP first powers up, all LEDs are green Figure 26, AP433i & 433is LEDs After the AP433i & 433is is connected, check the status of the LEDs.

Return to this chapter to check the status of the LEDs once the WLAN is operational. 6 Installing OAP433e This chapter describes how to physically install an OAP433e, which is supported on System Director Versions 6.0 SR2 and later. It contains the following sections:
Unpacking the OAP433e Installation Requirements Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector Installing the Access Point Where to Go From Here Unpacking the OAP433e Note Please use the OAP433 series only with Listed ITE or equivalently-rated equipment. 6.1 Unpacking the OAP433e Confirm that the OAP433e shipping boxes contain the following items (see Figure 27, OAP433e outdoor access point (top & bottom) OAP433e Outdoor Access Point Water barrier for the Ethernet connection (when shipped, this is not connected to the AP) Wall/Pole Mount Hardware Kit for mounting OAP433e to a 2 to 3 diameter steel pole or tube or as part of a radio or tower structure (3 pieces) Screws and bolts for assembling the mounting bracket Drywall screws (for wall-mounted installation) Ground wire Figure 27, OAP433e outdoor access point (top & bottom) 6.2 Installation Requirements In addition to the hardware supplied by Meru Networks, you need the following required accessories. Antennas (sold separately) RF coaxial cable to connect the antennas to the OAP433e Drill (if wall-mounting) Crescent wrench Outdoor CAT5 Ethernet cable, Cable type CMX o Size 22 (American Wire Gauge) with a 3.8mm gap o Size 24 (AWG) with a 3mm gap Note The Ethernet cable must be run through the OAP433es water-tight input port, which is provided in the package. This will ensure a waterproof seal around the connection. Follow the instructions listed later in this chapter to properly install the cable. 6.3 Power Requirements The OAP433e does not ship with a power adapter, and as such, must be powered by a PoE device. In order to ensure that all three radios on the AP are active, it must be plugged into an 802.3at power source. If an 802.3af source is used, the third radio will be disabled due to insufficient power. 6.4 Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector The OAP433 ships with a separate Ethernet connector that must be disassembled in order to run a cable through it. Once tightened and connected to the AP itself, this connector will ensure a waterproof seal for the AP. To run an Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector:
Unscrew the two main components of the connector. Remove the insert from the larger portion of the connector. This should be a rubber casing surrounded by a plastic shell. Both the plastic shell and the rubber casing should have a slit along one side, allowing them to be opened up in order to insert the cable. Prior to attaching the rubber casing to the cable, run the cable through the smaller portion of the original two-part enclosure. Be sure to run the cable through the smaller opening (at the top of the plastic component) so that the head of the cable goes towards the AP. (Note that this step can be done after the rest of the connector has been assembled, but it can be difficult to do so when deploying long cables, so its best to do it here instead.) Run the Ethernet cable through the slit in the rubber casing and ensure that the casing wraps firmly around the cable. The Ethernet connector at the end of the cable should be on the larger side of the rubber casing. Replace the larger plastic component (the one that has threading on both ends) such that it fits around the rubber casing with the plastic shell. The portion of the component with a large rubber washer should be facing the end of the Ethernet cable (which will be connected to the AP). Connect the Ethernet cable to the port on the AP and screw the plastic threading in place. This should be tightened firmly, but should not require excessive force. Finally, screw the last plastic portion to the top of the threading. Again, tighten this firmly, but not excessively. The gap between the top cap and the base of the threading component should be 3mm when using a 24AWG cable or 3.8mm when using a 22AWG cable. Now that the Ethernet cable connection has been fully assembled, the AP is ready to be deployed. 6.5 Installing the Access Point When you plan the OAP433e physical configuration, include the elements shown in this Figure 28, SAmple physical layout Figure 28, SAmple physical layout 6.6 Radio Position Planning Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. In addition, local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your OAP433e link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice. Once the required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the OAP433e must be considered. Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft.) of the OAP433e. Place the OAP433e away from power and telephone lines. Avoid placing the OAP433e too close to any metallic, reflective surfaces, such as roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. 6.7 Radio Interference Avoiding radio interference is an important part of wireless planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrums. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal on the spectrum. 6.8 Weather Conditions Take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors:
Temperature The OAP433e is tested for normal operation in temperatures from - 40F to 140F. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail. Wind Velocity The OAP433e can operate in winds up to 44 m/s and survive higher wind speeds up to 66 m/s. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force. Lightning You should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed in order to protect against lightning strikes on the antennas. Contact Meru Sales for more information regarding this equipment. Rain The OAP433e is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link. Snow and Ice Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a build up of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail.In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link. 6.9 Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined, plan a cable route from the OAP433e outdoors to the PoE-enabled controller indoors. Consider these points:
The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 100 ft. Determine a building entry point for the cable. Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable. For lightning protection at the controller end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building. The shield of the ethernet cable needs to be grounded at the lightning arrestor. If, by design, the lightning arrestor cannot provide this ground, the shield of the ethernet cable will need to be grounded by the installer. 6.10 Grounding It is important that the OAP433e, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. The OAP433e unit includes a grounding screw to attach a ground wire. (See Figure 29, OAP433e grounding holes) for grounding screw locations.) Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. Figure 29, OAP433e grounding holes 6.11 Test Basic Link Operation Prior to deploying the AP, it is recommended that users connect it to an existing Meru deployment in order to ensure basic functionality. This can be done indoors in a controlled setting, prior to going through the trouble of mounting it externally. To do so, simply connect the AP to an existing controller and verify that the controller recognizes it. If so, proceed with the following section in order to deploy the AP. 6.12 Mounting the Access Point The OAP433e can be mounted on the following (brackets are included):
2 to 3 inch diameter pole Wall 6.12.1 Mounting OAP433e with the Pole-Mounting Bracket Be sure to attach antennas (see Connecting Antennas and Ground Wire to OAP433e) before mounting an OAP433e on a pole. Follow these steps to mount the unit to a 2 to 3 inch diameter steel pole or tube using the mounting bracket:
Attach the OAP433e to the square portion of the mounting bracket by placing the bracket flat against the bottom of the AP and inserting screws into the corners of the bracket portion. The holes on the bracket should correspond to the holes on the bottom of the AP. See Figure 30, Square mounting bracket attached to bottom of OAP433e. Figure 30, Square mounting bracket attached to bottom of OAP433e Note that the circular portion of the bracket should be facing to the side of the P
(the APs sides are the faces that do not have antennas or other attachments). This is to ensure that the AP is properly oriented when the bracket is fully assembled. Next, identify the portion of the bracket assembly that inserts into the circular opening on the portion currently attached to the AP. The correct component has a corresponding circular section with a hollow cone protruding from one face of it. See Figure 31, Second bracket attachment Figure 31, Second bracket attachment Insert the cone into the circular portion of the bracket attached to the AP. The two should fit somewhat snugly, although a screw assembly will be required to hold them in place. Run one of the long screws provided in the package down through the hole that runs through both portions of the bracket. The head of the screw should fit into the hexagonal slot on the top of the bracket assembly. On the other end of the screw (i.e., the one that doesnt have the hexagonal head), slide a flat washer and then a lock washer into place. The flat washer should be against the base of the mounting assembly. Screw one of the hexagonal nuts into place on top of the two washers. Once tightened, the nut should force the lock washer into place and the two bracket components should be locked together. At this point, locate the third portion of the bracket. It should be shaped like a small, wide v. This part will be used to brace against the backside of the pole. Place the opening of the v bracket against the pole and hold the OAP433e (with attached bracket assembly) up opposite it. The holes on either end of the v bracket should align with the two middle holes on the v portion of the bracket attached to the AP. Slide the two remaining long screws from the package contents into the corresponding holes. The hexagonal head of each screw should be on the bracket end that faces the AP (i.e., on the end that is already attached to the AP itself). Again, slide a flat washer followed by a lock washer and a hexagonal nut onto the bottom of each screw. Tighten the securing nuts just enough to hold the bracket to the pole.
(The bracket may need to be rotated around the pole during the alignment process.) Rotate/orient the AP as desired, then tighten the nuts securely in place. Connect the Ethernet cable to the controller inside the building and verify that all antennas are securely connected. Note When fully deployed, the Meru logo on the top of the AP should be right-side up. This will ensure that the Ethernet cable is oriented downwards when the entire bracket is assembled. Make sure that the AP is properly oriented before tightening everything in place on the pole. 6.12.2 Mounting OAP433e with the Wall-Mounting Bracket Attach the bracket to a wall with the flat side flush against the wall. Follow these steps to mount the unit to a wall using the wall-mounting bracket:
Prior to attaching the bracket to the AP, it is important to drill the required holes in the wall and insert the sheetrock anchors provided in the AP package. One of the three included bracket components consists of a circular portion (with a hollow cone in the center) connected to a wide v-
shaped portion. Use the v-shaped portion as a guide. Place the v component against the wall at the desired location and mark the four holes (one at each corner of the bracket) on the wall. Note that the bracket must be oriented such that the wider portions of the bracket are its top and bottom when placed against the wall. This will ensure that the fully deployed AP will be oriented properly (with the Ethernet cable leading downwards). Remove the bracket and drill the corresponding holes. When finished, insert the plastic sheetrock anchor inserts into each hole drilled. Place the bracket against the wall again and use the screws provided with the plastic anchors to attach it to the wall. Using the portion of the bracket assembly that has a flat component Note attached to another circular portion (seeFigure 32, Square mounting bracket), attach the OAP433e to the square portion of the mounting bracket by placing the bracket flat against the bottom of the AP and inserting screws into the corners of the bracket portion. The holes on the bracket should correspond to the holes on the bottom of the AP. Figure 33, Square mounting bracket attaches to bottom of OAP433e Figure 32, Square mounting bracket Figure 33, Square mounting bracket attaches to bottom of OAP433e Note Note that the circular portion of the bracket should be facing to the side of the AP
(the APs sides are the faces that do not have antennas or other attachments). This is to ensure that the AP is properly oriented when the bracket is fully assembled. Insert the circular portion of the bracket attached to the AP into the hollow cone portion of the bracket on the wall. The two should fit somewhat snugly, although a screw assembly will be required to hold them in place. Run one of the long screws provided in the package down through the hole that runs through both portions of the bracket. The head of the screw should fit into the hexagonal slot on the top of the bracket assembly. On the other end of the screw (i.e., the one that doesnt have the hexagonal head), slide a flat washer and then a lock washer into place. The flat washer should be against the base of the mounting assembly. Screw one of the hexagonal nuts into place on top of the two washers. Once tightened, the nut should force the lock washer into place and the two bracket components should be locked together. Connect the Ethernet cable to the controller and verify that all antennas are securely connected. 6.12.3 Connecting Antennas and Ground Wire to OAP433e OAP433e does not ship with any antenna by default. Since customers have different outdoor applications, we suggest that you choose from the various antenna options offered by Meru. See the list in Optional External Antennas. The OAP433e works both with antennas that attach directly to the unit and remote antennas. When using antennas that attach to the unit, attach the antennas before installing the unit. When deploying an OAP433e with remote antennas, first mount remote antennas and then connect them to the AP. If you arent planning on using some of the antennas, be sure to terminate the connections with antenna terminators in order to prevent excess transmissions from unused connectors. Although there are three radios in the OAP433e, space constraints allow for only eight antennas to be connected to the AP. Consequently, Radio 1 only supports two antennas. See Figure 34, Antenna-Radio Mapping for OAP433e & Figure 35, Antenna-Radio Mapping & Radio Settingfor details on which antennas correspond to each radio Figure 34, Antenna-Radio Mapping for OAP433e Note Figure 35, Antenna-Radio Mapping & Radio Setting Follow these steps to connect antennas:
Remove the protective dust caps from the antenna connectors. Mount the external antenna on the same supporting structure as you did the OAP433e, within 3 m (10 ft.) of it, using the bracket supplied in the antenna package. Connect the antenna to the OAP433es N-type connector (5G-1 and 2.4G-1) using the RF coaxial cable provided in the antenna box. Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent water entering the connectors. Follow these steps to attach the ground wire:
A grounding screw and cable are both provided in the product packaging. The OAP433e has two grounding holes, in the corners on the underside of the AP. See Figure 36, Grounding holes Connect the screw to either of the holes and attach the provided grounding wire. Attach the other end of the grounding wire to an appropriate grounding source. Figure 36, Grounding holes Note Caution!
When not using antenna connectors on the OAP433e, keep the covers securely attached for weather protection. Once the AP is deployed, these unused connectors must be properly terminated. Caution! Equipment shall be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and when applicable, the National Electrical Safety Code, IEEE C2. Equipment shall be properly grounded according to Chapter 8 of ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Cable distribution system should be grounded (earthed) in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of the Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable.
