2.7 UL 2043 Plenum rating*
The MR16 meets the UL 2043 plenum-rating standard. This certifi es that the MR16 has adequate fi re resistance
and low smoke-emission characteristics to be mounted and operated in a building’s environmental air spaces,
such as above suspended ceilings in an offi ce environment. (*UL 2043 rating applies to MR16 only.)
3 Pre-Install Preparation
You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation.
3.1 Confi gure Your Network in Dashboard
The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MR16 to your network. For detailed
instructions about creating, confi guring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer to the Meraki Cloud
Controller Manual (meraki.com/library/product).
1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your fi rst time, create a new account.
2. Find the network to which you plan to add your APs or create a new network.
3. Add your APs to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice if you
ordered directly from Meraki) or the serial number of each AP, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is
found on the bottom of the unit. You will also need your Enterprise Cloud Controller license key, which you
should have received via email from [e-mail].
4. Go to the map / fl oor plan view and place each AP on the map by clicking and dragging it to the location
where you plan to mount it.
3.2 Check and Upgrade Firmware
To ensure your MR16 performs optimally immediately following installation, Meraki recommends that you
facilitate a fi rmware upgrade prior to mounting your MR16.
1. Attach your MR16 to power and a wired Internet connection. See p. 19 of this Hardware Installation
Guide for details.
2. The MR16 will turn on and the Power LED will glow solid orange. If the unit does not require a fi rmware
upgrade, the Power LED will turn green within thirty seconds.
* If the unit requires an upgrade, the Power LED will begin blinking orange until the upgrade is complete,
at which point the Power LED will turn solid green. You should allow about an hour for the fi rmware
upgrade to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
3.3 Check and Confi gure Firewall Settings
If a fi rewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses. The
most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses can be found here:
