2 Mounting AP122 This section provides illustrated instructions to wall mount an AP122. Follow all recommended safety procedures before you proceed. 1. The AP122 is shipped with the wall mount bracket installed on the bottom of the AP. The metal bracket clips into slots in the plastic housing. The captive screw used to lock the AP into place, is not engaged during shipment .
2. The wall mount bracket is designed to be installed over a wall plate (single gang box). There are a series of slots in the mounting bracket to allow optional installations. 3. Remove the wall mount bracket from the AP. Lift the bracket in the indicated area to dis- engage the clips. You will need to move the bracket up and away from the AP to clear the top "hook" clips. 4.
wall plate box before tightening the screws. Slide the bracket up or down along the screws in the slots to the desired location. Be sure to cover any gaps in the wall. 5. Tighten screws to secure bracket to wall plate. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening may cause the bracket to bend. 6. Before installing the AP to the bracket, connect all necessary cabling to the ports on the back of the AP.
7. Install the AP onto the mounting bracket by visually aligning the top "hook" clips to the small raised bumps on the top edge of the AP. For additional visual alignment reference, use the edges of the bracket which line up with the outside vent holes on the AP.

8. Move the AP up slightly until you feel the top hooks slide into the receiving holes on the back of the AP. Once the top hooks are engaged, push gently on the bottom, front of the AP to engage the bottom hooks. You should feel the clips lock into place. 9. Tighten the captive screw to secure the AP to the bracket.
A Additional Notes Maximum EIRP The transmit EIRP is the sum of the conductive transmit power, IEEE Std 802.11n multiple stream effect, and the antenna gain. By default, Meru AP122 EIRP is set lower than the regulatory limit with the default antenna. Dual Concurrent Same Band Operation With grant of additional regulatory approval and Permit-but-Ask, users may configure two radios in AP122 on the same band (i.e., both radios are on the 2.
Meru Networks recommends that customers use only a DAS that has been tested to work with Meru hardware and software. Meru does not provide any site surveys, design or implementation of Wi-Fi over DAS. Meru recommends that customers obtain such services from a trained and qualified systems integrator or from their DAS vendor. Air Handling Space Requirements AP122/AP121 are not plenum rated. The products should be installed in accordance with all applicable, local regulations and practices.
China This device complies Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products or China RoHS. AP122 may contain hazardous substances are marked with the EIP logo including an Environment Friendly Use Period (EFUP) value in 10 years.
14 Restriction of Hazardous Substances
B Cautions and Warnings The cautions and warnings that appear in this manual are listed below in English, German, French, and Spanish. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Cautions A Caution calls your attention to a possible hazard that can damage equipment. "Vorsicht” weist auf die Gefahr einer möglichen Beschädigung des Gerätes in.
The radiated output power of the access points is well below the radio frequency exposure limits. However, the Meru Access Point should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the radio frequency exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least 20 cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity) and the Access Point antennas.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
With plastic covers removed, this product is suitable for use in environmental air-handling space in accordance with the Section 300-22(c) of the National Electric Code and Sections 2- 128.12 - 010 (3) and 12 - 100 of the Canadian Electrical Code. Part 1. C22. 1. For other countries, consult local authorities for regulations. Bei abgenommener Kunststoffabdeckung ist dieses Produkt zur Verwendung in einem Umgebungsluftraum gemäß Abschnitt 300-22(c) des National Electric Code und Abschnitt 2- 128.
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.

As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user. It is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator. Separation Distance MPE 0.82 mW/cm2 Distance 25 cm (9.84 inches) Limit 1.
The FCC recommends that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure then you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user or placing the antennas at a greater separation distance then recommended or lowering the transmitter power output. Separation Distance MPE 0.63 mW/cm2 Distance 20 cm (7.87 inches) Limit 1.00 mW/cm2 Industry Canada Guidelines This device meets Industry Canada guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
