3x3 3-stream 802.11ac access point designed for data, voice, and video applications in enterprise class deployments. Features • Supported by System Director versions 6.0 and greater. • Supports 80-MHz channel-bonding (VHT80) in 5.x GHz band with IEEE Std 802.11ac. 80MHz channel-bonding (VHT80) combines four 20-MHz channels into a single 80-MHz channels for increasing bandwidth. • Supports Plug and Play deployment. • Supports multi-layered security including Enterprise WPA2 features such as automatic traffic inspection. • Powered by either a standard IEEE 802.3at or 4-pair IEEE 802.3at PoE switches or PoE injectors. • Supports channel span architecture that requires no channel planning or configuration. • Supports wired stations via the secondary Ethernet interface. • Provides pre-pack PHY data rate up to 1.3 Gbps per radio at IEEE Std 802.11ac with MCS9/QAM-256 mode. IEEE Std 802.11ac in OAP832e The OAP832e series is capable of operating in the IEEE Std 802.11ac mode, which is capable for theoretical throughput rates up to 1.3 Gbps per radio. IEEE Std 802.11ac is applied only on the 5 GHz band, and its higher throughput levels require the use of 80 MHz wide channels. When a radio on OAP832e is configured for IEEE Std 802.11ac operation, it is automatically set to operate on the 5 GHz band. By default, the radio 1 is set to operate on the 2.4 GHz band (Channel 6, 20 MHz channel width) to support IEEE Std 802.11b/g/n clients and radio 2 is configured for IEEE Std 802.11ac on 5 GHz (Primary Channel 36 with 80 MHz channel width). IEEE Std 802.11ac in OAP832e With backward compatibility, OAP832e’s Radio 2 supports either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11a/n clients. Installation Location OAP832e supports wall and pole mounts. OAP832e should be mounted in a location that meets the following conditions: • Unobstructed access to stations - - relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. • Access to power - access to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the controller. • Capacity Planning - OAP832e is capable of associating up to 128 clients per radio or 256 clients per system. For optimum performance, Meru Networks recommend planning up to 50 clients per radio for a mixed WLAN voice, video, and data. Users can, however, achieve higher client capacity in a data traffic only environment. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information. • Place APs about 80 feet apart. • Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric service panels. • If you install an OAP832e on a pole, its coverage will be a half spherical shape. Mounting two OAP832e's (back to back) on a poll does not provide full coverage (spherical shape). This could potentially interfere with each other resulting in poor coverage Safety Precautions IMPORTANT—Read and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before installing and operating this product. This product is intended to be supplied by an 802.3at or 4-pair 802.3at Power over Ethernet connection only. Power Requirements • Power Input, PoE (Power over Ethernet) PD complies with 802.3at or 4-pair 802.3at. Installation Location • The PoE PD IN design complies with IEEE802.3-2012 Clause 33.3 Powered Devices and Clause 33.4 applicable to PD and Annex 33A.2. The PoE is designed as a Class 4 PD. Power Output, PoE (Power over Ethernet) PSE • Supports PoE PSE Out upto 15.4W. • Complies with IEEE802.3-2012 Clause 33.2 Power Sourcing Equipment and Clause 33.4 applicable to PSE and Annex 33A.1. Power Requirements 4 Power Requirements 2 Installing OAP832e In addition to the hardware supplied by Meru Networks, you will need the following: • • • • • Antennas (sold separately) RF coaxial cable to connect the antennas to the OAP832e Drill (if wall-mounting) Crescent wrench Outdoor CAT5 Ethernet cable—Cable type CMX • • Size 22 (American Wire Gauge) with a 3.8mm gap Size 24 (AWG) with a 3mm gap The Ethernet cable must be run through the OAP832e’s water-tight input port, which is provided in the package. This will ensure a waterproof seal around the connection. Follow the instructions listed later in this chapter to properly install the cable. Power Requirements The OAP832e does not ship with a power adapter, and as such, must be powered by a PoE device. In order to ensure that both radios on the AP are active, it must be plugged into an 802.3at power source. In order to ensure that both radios on the AP are active and PSE OUT is supplying power, it must be plugged into a 4-pair 802.3at power source. Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector The OAP832e ships with two separate Ethernet connectors that must be disassembled in order to run a cable through it. Once tightened and connected to the AP itself, these connectors will ensure a waterproof seal for the AP. To run an Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector: Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector 1. Unscrew the two main components of the connector. 2. Remove the insert from the larger portion of the connector. This should be a rubber cas- ing surrounded by a plastic shell. Both the plastic shell and the rubber casing should have a slit along one side, allowing them to be opened up in order to insert the cable. 3. Prior to attaching the rubber casing to the cable, run the cable through the smaller portion of the original two-part enclosure. Be sure to run the cable through the smaller opening (at the top of the plastic component) so that the head of the cable goes towards the AP. (Note that this step can be done after the rest of the connector has been assembled, but it can be difficult to do so when deploying long cables, so it's best to do it here instead.) 4. Run the Ethernet cable through the slit in the rubber casing and ensure that the casing wraps firmly around the cable. The Ethernet connector at the end of the cable should be on the larger side of the rubber casing. 5. Replace the larger plastic component (the one that has threading on both ends) such that it fits around the rubber casing with the plastic shell. The portion of the component with a large rubber washer should be facing the end of the Ethernet cable (which will be connected to the AP). 6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the port on the AP and screw the plastic threading in place. This should be tightened firmly, but should not require excessive force. 7. Finally, screw the last plastic portion to the top of the threading. Again, tighten this firmly, but not excessively. The gap between the top cap and the base of the threading component should be 3mm when using a 24AWG cable or 3.8mm when using a 22AWG cable. Now that the Ethernet cable connection has been fully assembled, the AP is ready to be deployed. Installing the Access Point Selecting a Location When you plan the OAP832e physical configuration, include the elements shown in Figure 1 on page 7 Installing the Access Point Figure 1: Sample Physical Layout Radio Position Planning Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. In addition, local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your OAP832e link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice. Once the required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the OAP832e must be considered. • Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft.) of the OAP832e. • Place the OAP832e away from power and telephone lines. • Avoid placing the OAP832e too close to any metallic, reflective surfaces, such as roofinstalled air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. Radio Interference Avoiding radio interference is an important part of wireless planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrum. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal on the spectrum. Weather Conditions Take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors: Installing the Access Point • Temperature - The OAP832e is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -40F to 149F. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail. • Wind Velocity - The OAP832e can survive in winds up to 165 mph. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force. • Lightning - You should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed in order to protect against lightning strikes on the antennas. Contact Meru Sales for more information regarding this equipment. • Rain - The OAP832e is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link. • Snow and Ice - Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a build up of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail.In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link. Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined, plan a cable route from the OAP832e outdoors to the PoE-enabled controller indoors. Consider these points: • The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 100 m. • Determine a building entry point for the cable. • Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable. • For lightning protection at the controller end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building. • The shield of the Ethernet cable needs to be grounded at the lightning arrestor. If, by design, the lightning arrestor cannot provide this ground, the shield of the Ethernet cable will need to be grounded by the installer. Grounding It is important that the OAP832e, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. The OAP832e unit includes a grounding screw to attach a ground wire. See Figure 2 on page 9 for grounding screw locations. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. Installing the Access Point Figure 2: OAP832e Grounding Holes Test Basic Link Operation Prior to deploying the AP, it is recommended that users connect it to an existing Meru deployment in order to ensure basic functionality. This can be done indoors in a controlled setting, prior to going through the trouble of mounting it externally. To do so, simply connect the AP to an existing controller and verify that the controller recognizes it. If so, proceed with the following section in order to deploy the AP. Mounting the Access Point The OAP832e can be mounted on the following (brackets are included): • 1.3” to 16” diameter round pole or 1.3” to 16” wide square pole • Wall This chapter provides all the information that users need to install Meru OAP832e. After user completing installation procedure, see the Meru System Director Configuration guide for detailed instructions on the various configuration options. Follow all safety precautions mentioned in the “Safety Precautions” on page 2 section.

3x3 3-stream 802.11ac access point designed for data, voice, and video applications in enterprise class deployments. Features • Supported by System Director versions 6.0 and greater. • Supports 80-MHz channel-bonding (VHT80) in 5.x GHz band with IEEE Std 802.11ac. 80MHz channel-bonding (VHT80) combines four 20-MHz channels into a single 80-MHz channels for increasing bandwidth. • Supports Plug and Play deployment. • Supports multi-layered security including Enterprise WPA2 features such as automatic traffic inspection. • Powered by either a standard IEEE 802.3at or 4-pair IEEE 802.3at PoE switches or PoE injectors. • Supports channel span architecture that requires no channel planning or configuration. • Supports wired stations via the secondary Ethernet interface. • Provides pre-pack PHY data rate up to 1.3 Gbps per radio at IEEE Std 802.11ac with MCS9/QAM-256 mode. IEEE Std 802.11ac in OAP832e The OAP832e series is capable of operating in the IEEE Std 802.11ac mode, which is capable for theoretical throughput rates up to 1.3 Gbps per radio. IEEE Std 802.11ac is applied only on the 5 GHz band, and its higher throughput levels require the use of 80 MHz wide channels. When a radio on OAP832e is configured for IEEE Std 802.11ac operation, it is automatically set to operate on the 5 GHz band. By default, the radio 1 is set to operate on the 2.4 GHz band (Channel 6, 20 MHz channel width) to support IEEE Std 802.11b/g/n clients and radio 2 is configured for IEEE Std 802.11ac on 5 GHz (Primary Channel 36 with 80 MHz channel width). IEEE Std 802.11ac in OAP832e With backward compatibility, OAP832e’s Radio 2 supports either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11a/n clients. Installation Location OAP832e supports wall and pole mounts. OAP832e should be mounted in a location that meets the following conditions: • Unobstructed access to stations - - relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. • Access to power - access to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the controller. • Capacity Planning - OAP832e is capable of associating up to 128 clients per radio or 256 clients per system. For optimum performance, Meru Networks recommend planning up to 50 clients per radio for a mixed WLAN voice, video, and data. Users can, however, achieve higher client capacity in a data traffic only environment. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information. • Place APs about 80 feet apart. • Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric service panels. • If you install an OAP832e on a pole, its coverage will be a half spherical shape. Mounting two OAP832e's (back to back) on a poll does not provide full coverage (spherical shape). This could potentially interfere with each other resulting in poor coverage Safety Precautions IMPORTANT—Read and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before installing and operating this product. This product is intended to be supplied by an 802.3at or 4-pair 802.3at Power over Ethernet connection only. Power Requirements • Power Input, PoE (Power over Ethernet) PD complies with 802.3at or 4-pair 802.3at. Installation Location • The PoE PD IN design complies with IEEE802.3-2012 Clause 33.3 Powered Devices and Clause 33.4 applicable to PD and Annex 33A.2. The PoE is designed as a Class 4 PD. Power Output, PoE (Power over Ethernet) PSE • Supports PoE PSE Out upto 15.4W. • Complies with IEEE802.3-2012 Clause 33.2 Power Sourcing Equipment and Clause 33.4 applicable to PSE and Annex 33A.1. Power Requirements 4 Power Requirements 2 Installing OAP832e In addition to the hardware supplied by Meru Networks, you will need the following: • • • • • Antennas (sold separately) RF coaxial cable to connect the antennas to the OAP832e Drill (if wall-mounting) Crescent wrench Outdoor CAT5 Ethernet cable—Cable type CMX • • Size 22 (American Wire Gauge) with a 3.8mm gap Size 24 (AWG) with a 3mm gap The Ethernet cable must be run through the OAP832e’s water-tight input port, which is provided in the package. This will ensure a waterproof seal around the connection. Follow the instructions listed later in this chapter to properly install the cable. Power Requirements The OAP832e does not ship with a power adapter, and as such, must be powered by a PoE device. In order to ensure that both radios on the AP are active, it must be plugged into an 802.3at power source. In order to ensure that both radios on the AP are active and PSE OUT is supplying power, it must be plugged into a 4-pair 802.3at power source. Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector The OAP832e ships with two separate Ethernet connectors that must be disassembled in order to run a cable through it. Once tightened and connected to the AP itself, these connectors will ensure a waterproof seal for the AP. To run an Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector: Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector 1. Unscrew the two main components of the connector. 2. Remove the insert from the larger portion of the connector. This should be a rubber cas- ing surrounded by a plastic shell. Both the plastic shell and the rubber casing should have a slit along one side, allowing them to be opened up in order to insert the cable. 3. Prior to attaching the rubber casing to the cable, run the cable through the smaller portion of the original two-part enclosure. Be sure to run the cable through the smaller opening (at the top of the plastic component) so that the head of the cable goes towards the AP. (Note that this step can be done after the rest of the connector has been assembled, but it can be difficult to do so when deploying long cables, so it's best to do it here instead.) 4. Run the Ethernet cable through the slit in the rubber casing and ensure that the casing wraps firmly around the cable. The Ethernet connector at the end of the cable should be on the larger side of the rubber casing. 5. Replace the larger plastic component (the one that has threading on both ends) such that it fits around the rubber casing with the plastic shell. The portion of the component with a large rubber washer should be facing the end of the Ethernet cable (which will be connected to the AP). 6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the port on the AP and screw the plastic threading in place. This should be tightened firmly, but should not require excessive force. 7. Finally, screw the last plastic portion to the top of the threading. Again, tighten this firmly, but not excessively. The gap between the top cap and the base of the threading component should be 3mm when using a 24AWG cable or 3.8mm when using a 22AWG cable. Now that the Ethernet cable connection has been fully assembled, the AP is ready to be deployed. Installing the Access Point Selecting a Location When you plan the OAP832e physical configuration, include the elements shown in Figure 1 on page 7 Installing the Access Point Figure 1: Sample Physical Layout Radio Position Planning Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. In addition, local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your OAP832e link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice. Once the required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the OAP832e must be considered. • Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft.) of the OAP832e. • Place the OAP832e away from power and telephone lines. • Avoid placing the OAP832e too close to any metallic, reflective surfaces, such as roofinstalled air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. Radio Interference Avoiding radio interference is an important part of wireless planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrum. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal on the spectrum. Weather Conditions Take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors: Installing the Access Point • Temperature - The OAP832e is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -40F to 149F. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail. • Wind Velocity - The OAP832e can survive in winds up to 165 mph. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force. • Lightning - You should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed in order to protect against lightning strikes on the antennas. Contact Meru Sales for more information regarding this equipment. • Rain - The OAP832e is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link. • Snow and Ice - Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a build up of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail.In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link. Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined, plan a cable route from the OAP832e outdoors to the PoE-enabled controller indoors. Consider these points: • The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 100 m. • Determine a building entry point for the cable. • Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable. • For lightning protection at the controller end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building. • The shield of the Ethernet cable needs to be grounded at the lightning arrestor. If, by design, the lightning arrestor cannot provide this ground, the shield of the Ethernet cable will need to be grounded by the installer. Grounding It is important that the OAP832e, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. The OAP832e unit includes a grounding screw to attach a ground wire. See Figure 2 on page 9 for grounding screw locations. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes.

Alle Ethernet Kabel, die in Lüftungsräumen installiert werden, sollten gemäß NEC Artikel 800.50 geeignet sein und entsprechend zur Verwendung in Hohlräumen (Plenum) und Lüftungsräumen im Hinblick auf Rauchausbreitung gekennzeichnet sein, z.B. CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP (Multi Purpose Plenum) oder CMP (Communications Plenum). Les câbles Ethernet installés dans un vide d’air doivent correspondre aux critères de l’article 800.50 du code NEC et identifiés en conséquence comme adaptés à une utilisation dans les vides de construction des bâtiments en matière de propagation de la fumée (marquages CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP (Multi Purpose Plenum) ou CMP (Communications Plenum)). Todos los cables Ethernet instalados en espacios aéreos deben cumplir con el artículo 800.50 del NEC y estar marcados adecuadamente para su uso en espacios aéreos y plenums en lo concerniente a la propagación de humo, tales como CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP (Plenum multifuncional), o CMP (Plenum de comunicaciones). 40 Warnings Indoor antennas must be positioned to observe minimum separation of 20 cm. (~ 8 in.) from all users and bystanders. For the protection of personnel working in the vicinity of inside (downlink) antennas, the following guidelines for minimum distances between the human body and the antenna must be observed. The installation of the indoor antenna must be such that, under normal conditions, all personnel cannot come within 20 cm. (~ 8.0 in.) from any inside antenna. Exceeding this minimum separation will ensure that the employee or bystander does not receive RF-exposure beyond the Maximum Permissible Exposure according to local country regulatory approval. Indoorantennen müssen so positioniert werden, dass ein Mindestabstand von 20 cm (ca. 8 Zoll) zu allen Benutzern und anderen Personen gewahrt wird. Zum Schutz von Personal, das in der Nähe von Innenantennen (Downlink) arbeitet, sind die folgenden Richtlinien für Mindestabstand zwischen dem menschlichen Körper und der Antenne zu beachten. Die Innenantenne muss so installiert werden, dass sich unter normalen Bedingungen kein Personal bis auf weniger als 20 cm (ca. 8 Zoll) an eine Innenantenne annähern kann. Durch Überschreitung dieses Mindestabstands wird sichergestellt, dass Mitarbeiter oder andere Personen keiner RF-Exposition über die maximal zulässige Exposition (MPE; Maximum Permissible Exposure) gemäß FCC CFR 47, Abschnitt 1.1310 (Grenzwerte für die allgemeine Bevölkerung/unkontrollierte Exposition) ausgesetzt werden. Les antennes intérieures doivent être positionnées de façon à respecter une distance minimum de 20 cm par rapport aux utilisateurs et aux tiers. Pour la protection du personnel travaillant à proximité des antennes intérieures (liaison descendante), respecter les directives suivantes pour assurer des distances minimales entre les êtres humains et les antennes. Toute antenne intérieure doit être installée de telle sorte que, dans des conditions normales, le personnel ne puisse s'en approcher à moins de 20 cm. Cette distance minimale est destinée à garantir qu'un employé ou un tiers ne sera pas exposé à un rayonnement radioélectrique supérieur à la valeur maximale autorisée, telle qu'elle est définie dans les limites d'exposition non contrôlées pour la population par la réglementation de la FCC CFR 47, section 1.1310. Las antenas interiores deben colocarse de manera que se observe una separación mínima de 20 cm. (~ 8 pulg.) respecto a todos los usuarios y circunstantes. Para la protección del personal que trabaje en las inmediaciones de las antenas interiores (receptoras), deben observarse las siguientes directrices relativas a la distancia mínima entre el cuerpo humano y la antena. La instalación de la antena interior debe efectuarse de tal modo que, en condiciones normales, ningún miembro del personal pueda acercarse a menos de 20 cm. (~ 8,0 pulg.) de cualquier antena interior. El cumplimiento de este mínimo de separación asegura que el empleado o circunstante no recibirá exposición a radiofrecuencia por encima de la Exposición Máxima Permisible conforme a la normativa FCC CFR 47, sección 1.1310, es decir, los límites asignados a la Exposición Incontrolada/Población Civil.
