Additional reference documents are available online at meraki.cisco.com/support 2 MR30H Overview The Meraki MR30H is an enterprise-class, 802.11abgn/ac indoor access point. When connected to the Meraki Cloud Controller, the MR30H enables the creation of high-speed, reliable indoor wireless networks quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. The Meraki MR30H has an operating temperature of 32 ° F to 104 ° F (0 ° C to 40 ° C). 2.1 Package Contents The MR30H package contains the following: - MR30H access point - Wall screws (4mm and 7mm for recessed rail mount) & anchors - Mounting plate 2.2 Power Source Options The MR30H access point can be powered using either an 802.3at capable PoE switch or the Meraki 802.3at PoE injector (55V, 0.6A, sold separately). 2.3 LED Indicators and Run Dark Mode Your MR30H uses a single LED to inform the user of the device’s status.

The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MR30H to your network. For detailed instructions about creating, configuring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer to the Meraki Cloud Controller Manual (cisco.meraki.com/support/#documentation). 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 nodes or create a new network. 3. Add your nodes to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice if you ordered directly from Meraki) or the serial number of each node, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit. 4. Finally, go to the map / floor plan view and place each node on the map by clicking and dragging it to the location where you plan to mount it. You can always modify the location later. 3.2 Check and Upgrade Firmware To ensure your MR30H performs optimally immediately following installation, Meraki recommends that you facilitate a firmware upgrade prior to mounting your MR30H. 1. Attach your MR30H to power and a wired Internet connection. 2.The MR30H will turn on and the LED will glow solid orange. If the unit does not require a firmware upgrade, the LED will turn solid white within 30 seconds. * If the unit requires an upgrade, the LED will cycle rainbow until the upgrade is complete, at which point the Power LED will turn solid white. You should allow about an hour for the firmware upgrade to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection. 3.3 Check and Configure Firewall Settings If your network will be located behind a firewall, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses in order for the MR30H to be able to seamlessly communicate with the Cloud Controller. The most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses can be found here: goo.gl/t1Jd0E 3.4 Assigning IP Addresses to MR30Hs All gateway MR30Hs (MR30Hs with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable IP addresses. These IP addresses can be dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically assigned. 3.4.1 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. 3.4.2 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 either wirelessly (by associating to any SSID broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection. If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the MR30H either through a PoE switch or a Meraki PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable into the MR30H’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 Meraki PoE Injector, connect the MR30H to the “PoE” port of the Injector, and the client machine to the “LAN” port. 2.Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP’s built-in web server by browsing to http://ap.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://10.128.128.128. Click on the “Static IP Configuration” tab. Log in. The default user name is the AP’s serial number with hyphens included (e.g., Q2BD-551C-ZYW3). The default password is blank. 3. Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that this AP will use on its wired connection. 4. If necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN. 3.5 Collect Tools You will need the following tools to perform an installation: - Flat-head screwdriver - Drill with appropriate bits for mounting wall anchors (if mounting to a wall) - Phillips screwdriver - Tin snips (if mounting with hose clamps) - Power screwdriver with 5/16” (8 mm) nut driver, Phillips & flat heads (recommended) 3.6 Collect Additional Hardware for Installation - Network cables with RJ45 connectors long enough for your particular mounting location - 802.3at PoE power source (either PoE switch or Meraki 802.3at PoE Injector) - Connection to the internet (if you are setting up your MR30H as a gateway to the internet) - Specialized mounting hardware if mounting to surface other than wood, stucco or stone - Laptop with wireless to verify setup (recommended) 4 Installation Instructions 4.1 Choose Your Mounting Location A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your MR30H 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. If being used in a mesh deployment, the MR30H should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices. For more detailed instructions regarding access point location selection, reference the Meraki Network Design Guide (https://documentation.meraki.com/SM/Deployment_Guides). 4.2 Install the MR30H For most mounting scenarios, the MR30H mount plate provides a quick, simple, and flexible means of mounting your device. The installation should be done in two steps. First, install the mount plate to your selected location. Then attach the MR30H to the mount plate. 4.2.1 Attach the Mount Plate The MR30H mount plate can be used to install your access point in a range of scenarios, and has been designed to fit single-gang outlet boxes and European outlet boxes. 4.2.2 Mount the MR30H Insert the posts on the mount plate into the attachment slots on the access point and hinge downward until locked. 4.2.2.1 Powering the MR30H with an 802.3at Power over Ethernet Switch Route Ethernet cable from a port on an active 802.3at PoE switch to the Ethernet port in the bay of the MR30H. The MR30H is Gigabit Ethernet-capable. To maximize device performance, a Gigabit Ethernet-capable switch should be used. 4.3 Removing the Mount Plate from the Access Point The mount plate will not be pre-attached to the device anymore so we should move this section to an uninstall section. 1. Unscrew the mount plate security screw. 2. Insert provided tool through small hole on the left side of the RJ45 connectors to disengage mount plate security lock. 3. While tool is inserted, slide the mount plate off the access point. 5 Troubleshooting Reference the Meraki knowledge base at https://documentation.meraki.com/ for additional information and troubleshooting tips. 6 Regulatory This equipment is for indoor use only and the PoE device is considered unlikely to connect to an Ethernet network with outside plant routing, including campus environments.
