Aruba MSR4000 Wireless Mesh Router
Installation Guide
The Aruba AirMesh MSR4000 is a resilient, environmentally hardened, outdoor rated, four-radio, dual-band
IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless mesh router. This outdoor mesh router is part of Aruba’s comprehensive
wireless network solution. The MSR4000 delivers high-performance wireless mesh routing to outdoor
environments where wired connectivity is impractical or unavailable. The MSR4000 is ideal for deployment
in metropolitan and industrial areas, oil fields, mines, and shipping ports.
The MSR4000 requires the Aruba MeshOS operating system.
There are two versions of the MSR4000, which mainly differ in the way they receive power.

MSR4KP: Power over Ethernet (PoE+) powered

MSR4KAC: AC powered (100 - 240 VAC)
The MSR4KAC can function as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device by providing power through its Ethernet
port in compliance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Quick Start Guide
The MSR4000 does not ship with any power cables; these are available as accessories and should be ordered
separately.
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including
the original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.

Antenna Interface
The MSR4000 requires the use of detachable outdoor-rated antennas. Select the correct antenna type to
support the required frequency band and the desired coverage pattern.
The MSR4000 is equipped with eight female N-type antenna interfaces; four on the top of the AP and four on
the bottom. The interfaces are grouped into diversity pairs, marked R0 (Radio 0), R1 (Radio 1), R2 (Radio 2)
and R3 (Radio 3).
USB Console Interface
A USB serial console port is provided for connection to a terminal, allowing direct local management. Use
the included USB console cable to connect to the AP. You can download the necessary driver for USBUART adapter from support.arubanetworks.com under the Tools & Resources tab.
Use the following setting to access the terminal:

The baudrate setting depends on the manufacturing date of the MSR4000 (before or after March 2012) and
the Serial Number (14 characters or 9 characters). The table above lists all the SKUs for this product along
with the corresponding baudrate.
Power Interface
The type of power interface on your MSR4000 depends on which model you have purchased.

MSR4KP: This version does not include a power interface since it is only powered by PoE+ (802.3at).

MSR4KAC: One AC power connector

Power Interface MSR4KAC
Ethernet Interface
The MSR4000 is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network connectivity.
On the MSR4KP, this port also supports IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE), accepting 48 VDC as a
standards-defined powered device (PD) from a power sourcing equipment (PSE) device, such as a PoE
midspan injector. Inversely, the MSR4KAC can act as a PSE device to provide IEEE802.3af PoE power to
devices connected to the Ethernet port.
Grounding Point
Always remember to protect your MSR4000 by installing grounding lines. The ground connection must be
complete before connecting power to the MSR4000 enclosure. Ensure that the resistance is less than 5 ohm
between the ground termination point and the grounding tier and the cross section of the grounding cable
should be no less than 6 square mm.
MSR4KP LED Status Indicators
The MSR4000 include visual indicators for power, link, and radio status.
