Determine Power Requirements
Power requirements vary, depending on which AP300 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 3.6/4.0 and 802.3af PoE, Meru supports radios set to any MIMO settings
except 3x3 on dual radios. This is because two 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. Meru supports:
 Single 3x3 radio
 Dual 2 x 2 radios
 Dual radio with one set to 2x2 and the other one set to 3x3
When using System Director 4.0 and 802.3af, the AP300 MIMO configuration is limited to the following:
 3x3 for the 5 GHz radio
 2x2 for the 2.4 GHz radio
