Now that the AP200 is installed, go to the Meru System Director Getting Started
Guide for instructions on initializing the hardware. Return to this chapter to check
the status of the LEDs once the WLAN is operational.
Note:
For the AP201 and AP208 access points, a shielded Cat 5e (or greater)
Ethernet cable must be used in order to comply with international
electromagnetic emissions limits.If it is not practical to use shielded cables,
contact Support for a line filter, available at no charge, that may also be used
to ensure compliance.
Note:
For the AP201 and AP208 access points, a shielded Cat 5e (or greater)
Ethernet cable must be used in order to comply with international
electromagnetic emissions limits.
Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port.
