Installation guide

Install the AP300

To connect the Remote Antenna Mount to the ceiling, refer to the installation diagram from the ship-

ping box while following these steps:

1. Attach the shorter end of the screw to the center hole on the back of the Antenna Mount.

2. Remove the designated ceiling tile.

3. Using the template, drill holes in the ceiling tile.

4. Replace the ceiling tile.

5. Remove a ceiling tile adjacent to the newly drilled tile for access purposes.

6. Feed the Antenna Mount cable through the larger hole in the ceiling tile until the Antenna Mount

is flush with the ceiling. The screw should now be visible above the ceiling tile (through the second

hole).

7. Place the triangular plate above the ceiling tile with the screw aligned through the plate.

8. Drop the washer onto the screw and tighten the bolt.

The Antenna Mount is now connected to the ceiling.

9. Replace the adjacent tile.

10. Connect the three Remote Antenna Mount cables to the appropriate connectors on the AP300. Be

sure to connect the three antennas that correspond to one radio. See Figure 6 and Figure 7 to

determine the cable connection configuration.

11. Attach three antennas that shipped with AP300 to the three connectors on the triangular remote

device. See Figure 9.

Install the Access Point

The AP300 ships with a detachable mounting bracket. The AP300 is designed to be compatible with

brackets supplied by Meru and by other vendors. The AP300 mounts directly on the AP150 mounting

bracket. 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:

z Mount AP300 Horizontally on a Shelf

z Mount AP300 Vertically on a Wall
