Meraki MR62 MR62-HW Manual De Usuario

Features

The MR62 features a powerful 2.4 GHz radio and advanced RF 
design for enhanced receive sensitivity. Combined with 802.11n tech-
nologies including MIMO and beamforming, the MR62 delivers up to 
300 Mbps throughput and up to 50% increased capacity compared 
to typical rugged enterprise-class 802.11g access points, meaning 
fewer access points are required for a given deployment. 

The MR62 is designed and tested for salt spray, vibration, extreme 
thermal conditions, shock and dust and is IP67-rated, making it ideal 
for extreme environments. 

The MR62 includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection,  
classification, and control engine, enabling you to set QoS policies 
based on traffic type. Prioritize your mission critical applications, 
while setting limits on recreational traffic, e.g. peer-to-peer and  
video streaming.

The MR62’s sophisticated, automated RF optimization means  
that there is no need for the dedicated hardware or RF expertise 
typically required to tune a wireless network. An integrated spectrum 
analyzer monitors the airspace for neighboring WiFi devices as well 
as non-802.11 interference – microwave ovens, Bluetooth headsets, 
etc. The Meraki cloud then automatically optimizes the MR62’s chan-
nel selection, transmit power, and client connection  
settings, providing optimal performance even under challenging  
RF conditions.

The MR62 features integrated, easy-to-configure security  
technologies to provide secure connectivity for employees  
and guests alike. Advanced security features such as AES  
hardware-based encryption and WPA2-Enterprise authentication  
with 802.1X and Active Directory integration provide wire-like  

security with the convenience of wireless mobility. One-click guest 
isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors. Our policy 
firewall (Identity Policy Manager) enables group or device-based, 
granular access policy control. PCI compliance reports check  
network settings against PCI requirements to simplify secure retail 
deployments.

Meraki wireless comes equipped with Air Marshal, a built-in wireless 
intrusion prevention system (WIPS) for threat detection and attack 
remediation. APs will scan their environment opportunistically or in 
real-time based on intuitive user-defined preferences. Alarms and  
auto-containment of malicious rogue APs are configured via flexible 
remediation policies, ensuring optimal security and performance in 
even the most challenging wireless environments.

The MR62’s advanced mesh technologies like multi-channel  
routing protocols and multiple gateway support enable scalable,  
high throughput coverage of hard-to-wire areas with zero  
configuration. Mesh also improves network reliability - in the event  
of a switch or cable failure, the MR62 will automatically revert to 
mesh mode, providing continued gateway connectivity to clients.

When plugged in, the MR62 automatically connects to the Meraki  
cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins your network. It self 
optimizes, determining the ideal channel, transmit power, and client 
connection parameters. It also self heals, responding automatically to 
switch failures and other errors.

In addition to eliminating excess packaging and documentation,  
90% of the access point materials are recyclable. A maximum power 
draw of only 6.5 watts and a cloud-managed architecture mean 
that pollution, material utilization and your electric bill are kept to a 
minimum.
