The MR46E-HW Hardware Installation Guide describes the installation procedure for the MR46E-HW

indoor access point. Additional reference documents are available online at

www.meraki.com/library/product.

MR46E-HW Overview

The Meraki MR46E-HW is an enterprise-class, dual-concurrent 4x4 MIMO 802.11ax indoor access

point designed for

high-density deployments in offices, schools, hospitals and hotels. When connected

to the Meraki Cloud Controller, the MR46E-HW enables the creation of ultra-high speed, reliable indoor

wireless networks quickly, easily and cost-

effectively.

2.1

Package Contents

The MR46E-HW package contains the following:

•MR46E-HW access point

•Mounting plate

•Drop ceiling mounting kit wall screws

•Security screws

•Mounting Template

2.2

UnderstandingtheMR46E-HW

MR46E-HW Operation Temperature:

32 ° F to 104 ° F (0 ° C to 40 ° C)

Your Meraki MR46E-HW has the following features:

Kensington lock hard point

Mount plate attachment slots (2x)

Cable access bay

Desk mount feets (4x)

MR46E-HW cable access bay

Factory Reset Button

Ethernet port Power supplied by PoE: 50-57Vdc 0.6A

AC Adapter plug (sold separately) Power supplied by adapter: 12Vdc, 2.5A

Your MR46E-HW mount plate has the following features:

Access point mounting posts (2x)

Various mounting holes

2.3

Security Features

The MR46E-HW features multiple options for physically securing the access point after installation:

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.

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

The MR46E-HW features an Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3at power (labeled “PoE”). This port

should

be used for uplink to your WAN connection.

2.5

Power Source Options

The MR46E-HW access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter or 802.3at PoE Injector

(both sold

separately) or a third-party 802.3at PoE switch.

2.6

Factory Reset Button

If the button is pressed and held for at least five seconds and then released, the MR46E-HW will reboot

and be

restored to its original factory settings by deleting all configuration information stored on the unit.

Pre-Install Preparation

You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation.

3.1

Configure Your Network in Dashboard

The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MR46E-HW to your network. For

detailed instructions about creating, configuring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer to the

Meraki Cloud Controller Manual (meraki.com/library/product).

Find the network to which you plan to add your APs or create a new network.

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 shippi[email protected].

Go to the map / floor 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 MR46E-HW performs optimally immediately following installation, Meraki recommends

that you facilitate a firmware upgrade prior to mounting your MR46E-HW.

Attach your MR46E-HW to power and a wired Internet connection. See p. 19 of this Hardware

Installation

Guide for details.

The MR46E-HW will turn on and the Power LED will glow solid orange. If the unit does not require a

firmware

upgrade, the Power LED will turn white 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 white. You should allow about an hour for the

firmware

upgrade to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection.

3.3

Check and Configure Firewall Settings

If a firewall 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:

3.4

Assigning IP Addresses to MR46E-HWs

All gateway MR46E-HWs (MR46E-HWs with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable IP

addresses.

These IP addresses can be dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically assigned.

3.4.1

Dynamic Assignment

When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a static IP address for each MAC address

belonging to a Meraki AP. Other features of the wireless network such as 802.1x authentication, may rely on

the

property that the APs have static IP addresses.

3.4.2

Static Assignment

Static IPs are assigned using the local web server oneach AP. The following procedure describes how to set

the static IP:

Using a client machine (e.g. a laptop), connect to the AP either wirelessly (by associating to any SSID

broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection.

If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the MR46E-HW either through a PoE switch or a

Meraki

PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable into the MR46E-HW’s Ethernet jack, and the

other end

into a PoE switch. Then connect the client machine over Ethernet cable to the PoE switch. If using a

Meraki

PoE Injector, connect the MR46E-HW to the “PoE” port of the Injector, and the client machine to the

“LAN” port.

Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP’s built-in web server by browsing to

http://my.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://10.128.128.128.

Click on the “Static IP Configuration” tab. Log in. The default user name is “admin”. The default password

is the AP’s serial number, with hyphens included

Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that this AP will use on its

wired connection.

If necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN.

3.4.3

Static IP via DHCP Reservations

Instead of associating to each Meraki AP individually to configure static IP addresses, an administrator can

assign

static IP addresses on the upstream DHCP server. Through “DHCP reservations”, IP addresses are

“reserved” for the

MAC addresses of the Meraki APs. Please consult the documentation for the DHCP server

to configure DHCP

reservations.
