6. Hold the AP200 next to the mounting bracket to estimate the height of the T-bar
box hanger to provide enough clearance for the external antennas, which should
be pointing down.
7. Adjust the height of the box hanger using the height adjusting screws (see
Figure 21).
8. Clip the box hanger T-rail clips to the ceiling rails, making sure they are securely
attached.
9. Connect a drop wire to a building structural element and through the hole
provided in the bracket mounting clip. The U.S. National Electrical Safety Code
requires this additional support.
10. Connect the posts of the AP200 to the three keyholes of the mounting bracket and
slide into the keyhole (see Figure 20), ensuring the locking detent is engaged. You
will hear a click.
11. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see
Figure 16), point the antenna down, then retighten the ring.
12. Connect one end of the PoE 100BaseT Ethernet cable to the 100/1000 Ethernet
connector, shown in Figure 17.
13. Check that the AP200 is operating correctly before replacing the ceiling tile to
the ceiling. Verify correct operating using the LEDs, as shown in Checking LED
Activity.
Where to Go From Here
Now that the AP200 is installed, go to the Meru System Director Getting Started
Guide for instructions on initializing the hardware. Return to this chapter to check
the status of the LEDs once the WLAN is operational.
Note:
For the AP201 and AP208 access points, a shielded Cat 5e (or greater)
Ethernet cable must be used in order to comply with international
electromagnetic emissions limits.If it is not practical to use shielded cables,
contact Support for a line filter, available at no charge, that may also be used
to ensure compliance.
Note:
For the AP201 and AP208 access points, a shielded Cat 5e (or greater)
Ethernet cable must be used in order to comply with international
electromagnetic emissions limits.
Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port.
