2.3 Security Features
The MR24 features multiple options for physically securing the access point after installation:
1. Security screw – The accessory kit includes screws that can be used to secure the access point to
the mount plate. Engaging the security screw prevents accidental dislodging and theft.
2. Kensington lock – The access point contains a hard point that allows it to be secured to any nearby
permanent structure using a standard Kensington lock.
2.4 Ethernet Ports
Both MR24 and MR24 feature a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3af power (labeled
“Eth0, PoE”). This port should be used for uplink to your WAN connection.
2.5 Power Source Options
The MR24 access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter or 802.3af PoE Injector (both sold
separately) or a third-party 802.3af PoE switch.
2.6 Factory Reset Button
If the button is pressed and held for at least five seconds and then released, the MR24 will reboot and be
restored to its original factory settings by deleting all configuration information stored on the unit.
2.7 LED Indicators and Run Dark Mode
Your MR24 is equipped with a series of LED lights on the front of the unit to convey information about
system functionality and performance.
The MR24 may be operated in “Run Dark” mode for additional security and to reduce the visibility of the access
point. In this mode, the LEDs will not be illuminated. This mode may be enabled through Meraki Dashboard.
