Unpack the AP400
Unpack the AP400
The AP400 series has the following model(s) as shown below.
Confirm that the AP400 shipping package contains these items:
 AP400
 Eight antennas
 Wall mounting bracket
 Rubber feet
 Locking pin
Determine Power Requirements
Power requirements vary, depending on which AP400 radios are deployed and what MIMO mode is used.
See the chart below for supported power sources for different radio configurations.
802.af PoE Usage
When using System Director 3.6 (or later) and 802.3af PoE, Meru supports radios set to any MIMO
settings except 3x3 on three radios. This is because three 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.
