Product View and Physical Features

Your MR46E has the following features:

Security Features

The MR46E features multiple options for physically securing the access point after installation:

1. Security screw – The accessory kit includes screws that can be used to secure the access point to the mount

cradle. Engaging the security screw prevents accidental dislodging and theft.

2. Kensington lock – The access point contains a hard point that allows it to be secured to any nearby permanent

structure using a standard Kensington lock.

External Antenna Ports

The MR46E has 6 external antenna ports

Ethernet Ports

The MR46E features a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3at power (labeled “Eth0, PoE”). This port should be

used for uplink to your WAN connection.

The port labeled “PoE” accepts 802.3at power and should be used as the primary uplink to your LAN/WAN.

Power Source Options

The MR46E access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter, PoE njector (both sold separately), or a

third-party PoE switch.

Factory Reset Button

f the button is pressed and held for at least ﬁve seconds and then released, the AP will reboot and be restored to its

original factory settings by deleting all configuration information stored on the unit.

LED Indicators and Run Dark Mode

Your access point is equipped with a multi-color LED light on the front of the unit to convey information about system

functionality and performance:

• Orange - AP is booting (permanent Orange suggests hardware issue)

• Rainbow - AP is initializing/scanning

• Blinking Blue - AP is upgrading

• Green - AP in Gateway mode with no clients

• Blue - AP in Gateway mode with clients

• Blinking Orange - AP can't find uplink

NOTE: Blinking Green LED indicates that the device is in site survey mode. Please see the Conducting Site Surveys

with MR Access Points for more details.

The MR46E access point may be operated in “Run Dark” mode for additional security and to reduce the visibility of the

access point. n this mode, the LED will not be illuminated. This mode may be enabled through Meraki Dashboard.

Package Contents

The access point packages contain the following:

MR46E Cloud-Managed Access Point

Mount cradle including built-in level tool

Drop ceiling mount kit

Wall screws, wall screw anchors, and security screws

Safety and Warnings

These operations are to be taken with respect to all local laws. Please take the following into consideration for safe

operation:

• Power off the unit before you begin. Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power

source.

• Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with

standard practices for preventing accidents.

• Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware or to

follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system.

• This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective

device is rated not greater than: 15 A, 125 Vac, or 10A, 240 Vac.

• Please only power the device with the provided power cables or standard PoE to ensure regulatory compliance.

Pre-install Preparation

You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation.

Configure your Dashboard Network

The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an access point to your network. For detailed

instructions about creating, configuring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer to the online documentation

(documentation.meraki.com).

1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. f this is your ﬁrst time, create a new account.

2. Find the network to which you plan to add your APs or create a new network.

3. Add your APs to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or the serial

number of each AP, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit. You will also need

your Enterprise license key, which you should have received via email.

4. Go to the map / ﬂoor plan view and place each AP on the map by clicking and dragging it to the location where you

plan to mount it.

Check and Set Firmware

To ensure your access point performs optimally immediately following installation, it is recommended that you facilitate a

ﬁrmware upgrade prior to mounting your AP.

1. Attach your AP to power and a wired nternet connection. See the "Power the Ap" section for details.

2. The AP will turn on and the LED will glow solid orange. f the unit does not require a ﬁrmware upgrade, the LED

will turn either green (no clients associated) or blue (clients associated) within thirty seconds.

* f the unit requires an upgrade, the LED will begin blinking orange until the upgrade is complete, at which point the LED

will turn solid green or blue. You should allow at least a few minutes for the ﬁrmware upgrade to complete, depending on

the speed of your internet connection.

Check and Configure Upstream Firewall Settings

f a ﬁrewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular P addresses. The most

current list of outbound ports and P addresses for your particular organization can be found on the firewall configuration

page in your dashboard.

Assigning an P Address

All gateway A (An AP with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable P addresses. These P

addresses can be dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically assigned.

Dynamic Assignment

• When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a static P address for each MAC address

belonging to a Meraki AP. Other features of the wireless network, such as 802.1X authentication, may rely on the

property that the APs have static P addresses.

Static Assignment

• Static Ps are assigned using the local web server on each AP. The following procedure describes how to set the

static P:

• Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP wirelessly (by associating to any SS D broadcast by the

AP) or over a wired connection.

• f using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the AP either through a PoE switch or a PoE njector. f

using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable into the AP’s Ethernet jack, and the other end into a PoE switch. Then

connect the client machine over Ethernet cable to the PoE switch. f using a PoE njector, connect the AP to the

“PoE” port of the njector, and the client machine to the “LAN” port.

• Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP’s built-in web server by browsing

to http://my.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://10.128.128.128.

• Click on the “Uplink Conﬁguration” tab. Log in. The default login is the serial number (e.g. Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx), with no

password (e.g., Q2DD-551C-ZYW3).

• Configure the static P address, net mask, gateway P address and DNS servers that this AP will use on its wired

connection.

• f necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN.

Static IP via DHCP Reservations

• nstead of associating to each Meraki AP individually to configure static P addresses, an administrator can assign

static P addresses on the upstream DHCP server. Through “DHCP reservations,” P addresses are “reserved” for

the MAC addresses of the Meraki APs. Please consult the documentation for the DHCP server to conﬁgure DHCP

reservations.

Choose Your Mounting Location

A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your access point. Keep the following in

mind:

1. The device should have unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas. For example, if installing in an ofﬁce

ﬁlled with workspaces divided by mid-height cubicle walls, installing on the ceiling or high on a wall would be ideal.

2. Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).

3. f being used in a mesh deployment, the AP should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices. A Cisco

Partner can help ensure that your AP placement is ideal.

nstall the AP

For most mounting scenarios, the access point mount cradle provides a quick, simple, and ﬂexible means of mounting

your device. The installation should be done in two steps. First, install the mount cradle to your selected location. Then,

attach the AP to the mount cradle.

Attach the Mount Cradle

The access point mount cradle can be used to install your access point in a wide range of scenarios: wall or solid ceiling,
