The mount cradle has the following features:

Ethernet Ports

The GR60 features a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3at and 802.3af power
(labeled “Eth0, PoE”). This port should be used for uplink to your WAN connection.

Power Source Options

The GR60 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 GR60 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 GR60 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 GR60 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. This mode may be
enabled through Meraki dashboard.

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 an GR60 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 GR60 performs optimally immediately following installation, it is
recommended that you facilitate a firmware upgrade prior to mounting your GR60.

1. Attach your GR60 to power and a wired Internet connection. See the "Power the

GR60" section for details.

2. The GR60 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
