User's Manual

802.3af PoE power source, Meru only supports two radios (radio 0 and 1).
This is because three radios using an IEEE Std 802.3af switch/PoE injector may
not have enough power to operate properly. When using an 802.af PoE, Meru
supports single or dual radios utilizing up to 3 antennas each.
5.4.2 IEEE Std 802.3at PoE Usage
When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier version) and an IEEE Std
802.3at, all possible configurations are supported (all three radios utilizing up to 3
antennas each). or a list of supported PoEs, see the appendix Supported Power
Over Ethernet Devices for Meru APs.
5.5 Installation Requirements
An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP433i & 433is to be
mounted on the wall and over junction boxes or molly bolts. There are holes for
passing the PoE Ethernet or external power supply cable through the bracket if the
bracket is mounted on a junction box.
The AP433i & 433is has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP433i & 433is
with a standard security cable, such as those used to secure laptop computers.
Purchase optional mounting kits to mount the AP433i & 433is either from the
ceiling or inside an enclosure:
• Above Suspended Ceiling Mounting Kit (T-Bar Hanger): MNT-SCRMKIT-
01
To complete AP433i & 433is installation, you need the items listed below.
