Installation Requirements
802.3at Usage
When using System Director 3.6/4.0 and 802.3at, the following radio combinations are recommended:
 Single 3x3 radio
 Dual 2 x 2 radios
 Dual radio with one set to 2x2 and the other one set to 3x3
 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/AP320i 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

Additional Equipment
A power source is needed to power the AP300. See Determine Power Requirements. If you want to lock
an AP320i to the ceiling or wall, you need a small key like the ones used to lock suitcases.
