Install the AP400 

Additional Equipment

A power source is needed to power the AP400. See

Select a Location

All AP400 interconnected equipment, including the associated LAN connection, must be contained 
within the same building. In addition, the AP400 location should meet the following conditions:



Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical 
obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs 
below a hanging ceiling (plenum is supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least 
obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP400 horizontally so that you can read the 
Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO 
performance.



Access to wall outlet or a to a

 

Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing 

the controller.



We recommend planning for about 50 clients per radio (or per interference region) if you plan to 
use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. For a data-only installation, plan up to 128 
clients per radio. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information

.

AP400 is designed to provide 360 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan place-
ment with this pattern in mind.
