4.1
Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT—Read and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before
installing and operating this Product.
The AP433e is intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE
Std 802.3af and 802.3at. All interconnected equipments must be contained within
the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN
connection.
4.2
Package Content, AP433e
Confirm that the AP433e shipping package contains these items:
•
AP433e
•
Nine (9) external antennas
•
Wall mounting bracket
•
Rubber feet
•
Locking pin
•
Two mounting screws
4.3
Determine Power Requirements
Power requirements vary, depending on which AP433e radios are deployed and
what MIMO mode is used. See the chart below for supported power sources for
different radio configurations.
Table 2, Power Source & Radio Supported in AP433
Power Source
Radio Supported
IEEE Std 802.3af
Radio 1 and Radio 2
IEEE Std 802.3at
Radio 1, 2, and 3
4.3.1
IEEE Std 802.3af PoE Usage
When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier Version) and an IEEE Std
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.
