Figure 7: AP310/AP310-M Antennas 1-3
The following antenna connections are used during operation of the AP310/AP310-M.
Do not leave any antenna connectors unterminated. All connectors on the AP must be terminated with
antennas or with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators. (For a list of approved terminators, see
http://www.merunetworks.com/merusupport.
The attached antennas must be the same model; if you replace one antenna, replace them all.
Install the Remote Antenna Mount (optional)
Use the optional Meru Remote Antenna Mount (ACC-ANT-MIMO-MNT) for one or both AP300 radios to
remotely connect the AP300 antennas. The Remote Antenna Mount allows you to relocate either your
current antennas or the optional high-gain dipole antennas to a location with clearer signal paths to
the other wireless devices in your network. The Remote Antenna Mount can be installed either below
the ceiling tile or on the wall. The default orientation for the mount is suitable for a ceiling mount,
but you can attach the mount to a wall with some modifications.
Use one mount per radio; for example AP310/AP310-M needs one unit, and AP320 needs two units.
The Remote Antenna Mount uses low-loss plenum rated LMR195 cable and SMA connectors.
To order this unit, contact your Meru sales representative and refer to part number ACC-ANT-MIMO-MNT.
