Determine Power Requirements

Your power requirements will vary, depending on which AP300 radios are deployed and what

mode is used. See Table 2.

Table 2: AP300 Power Options

Installation Requirements

The AP300 standard mounting bracket can be removed. The AP300 is also designed to be used

with brackets supplied by other vendors; if you use a bracket other than an AP150 bracket

(which is identical), you need to obtain three shoulder screws (see Appendix A). Meru APs can

be mounted on Cisco 1230 series brackets, but the Cisco 1240 and 1250 series brackets are new

and not compatible with the Meru bracket.

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. See

Figure 3.
