Security Features

The MR44 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 cradle. 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.

Ethernet Ports

The MR44 features an Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3at power (labeled “Eth0, PoE”). This port should be used for uplink to your upstream network.

Power Source Options

The MR44 access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter, PoE Injector (both sold separately), or a PoE switch.
