Cisco Meraki MR53E Manuel utilisateur

MR53E Installation Guide

The Cisco Meraki MR53E is a dual-band enterprise class 802.11ac Wave 2 cloud-managed access point with support

for external antennas. Designed for highest capacity and highest density, the MR53E meets the need of the most

demanding environments. The access point also includes a third radio dedicated to optimizing the RF environment

and securing the airwaves along with a BLE radio for supporting IoT applications.

Package Contents

The MR53E packages contain the following:

• MR53E Cloud-Managed Access Point

• Mount cradle including built-in level tool

• Drop ceiling mount kit

• Wall screws, wall screw anchors, and security screws

• Spare hardware

Understanding the MR53E

Your Meraki MR52 and MR53 both have the following features:

The mount cradle has the following features:

Security Features

The MR53E both feature 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. ensington lock – The access point contains a hard point that allows it to be secured to any nearby permanent

structure using a standard ensington lock.

External Antenna Ports

The MR53E has 6 external antenna ports:

The ports labeled 2.4/5 is meant for client serving radios

The port labeled Scan is meant for client serving radios

The port labeled IoT is meant for client serving radios

Ethernet Ports

The MR53E features 2 Ethernet ports:

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

The 2nd port may be used for LACP bonding with the PoE port

Link Aggregation

The second Ethernet port can be used in a bonded configuration with the "PoE" port. Ensure that the AP is

plugged into 2 switch ports on the same Ethernet switch that have been configured for LACP bonding. eep in

mind that the maximum bonded aggregate bandwidth is 2.0 Gbps. See the MR Link Aggregation Configuration

Guide for more details

Power Source Options

The MR53E access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter, PoE Injector (both sold separately), or a

third-party PoE switch.

Factory Reset Button

If 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 MR53E 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

The MR53E may be operated in “Run Dark” mode for additional security and to reduce the visibility of the access point.

In this mode, the LED will not be illuminated.

eep in mind that only the primary uplink will draw PoE.

The MR53E both will function in low power mode when powered by a 802.3af power source. While in low power

mode, MR53E will disable its Air Marshal radio as well as three out of four transmit streams on the 2.4 Ghz

band. Despite being in low power mode, the device can still supply full 802.11ac capabilities.

When using Cisco switches, an extra step may be required to configure the Cisco switch to use LLDP to

communicate with the Meraki MR53E; see the following article for more

details: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Other_Topics/Low_Power_Mode_on_Cisco_Switches

Pre-Install Preparation

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

Conﬁgure Your Network in Dashboard

The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add a MR53E 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. If 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 Upgrade Firmware

To ensure your MR53E 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 Internet connection. See the "Power the AP" section for details.

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

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

* If 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 Firewall Settings

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

current list of outbound ports and IP addresses for your particular organization can be found here.

Assigning IP Addresses

All gateway MR53Es (An AP with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable IP addresses. These IP

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 IP 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 IP addresses.

Static Assignment

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

static IP:

1. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP wirelessly (by associating to any SSID

broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection.

2. If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the AP either through a PoE switch or a PoE

Injector. If 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. If using a PoE

Injector, connect the AP to the “PoE” port of the Injector, and the client machine to the “LAN” port.

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that this AP will use on

its wired connection.

6. If necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN.

Static IP via DHCP Reservations

Instead of associating to each Meraki AP individually to configure static IP addresses, an administrator can

assign static IP addresses on the upstream DHCP server. Through “DHCP reservations,” IP addresses are

“reserved” for the MAC addresses of the Meraki APs. Please consult the documentation for the DHCP server to

conﬁgure DHCP reservations.
