Installation Requirements

AP1000 Beta Test

 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/AP300i 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. A template of this bracket is included

in Appendix E of this guide.

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:

 Suspended Ceiling Rail Mounting Kit: ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT

 Above Suspended Ceiling Mounting Kit (T-Bar Hanger): ACC-MNT-ASCMKIT

 Inside a Hoffman Enclosure using Hoffman compatible mounting bracket: ACC-AP300-BHE (enclosure

not provided)

 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 AP300 installation, you need the items listed below.
