AP1014i Overview

AP1014i Overview

The AP1014i is designed for use with small-scale wireless environments and telecommuter applica­tions. When VPN access is configured in the corporate System Director interface, users can deploy the
AP1014i remotely and have a quick and secure wireless connection to the corporate network.

Deployments that expect high-user-density or are intended to support voice or video streaming are not
recommended for the AP1014i. The AP supports a maximum of 10 simultaneous wireless clients.

Note:

directly to the corporate network and configured in the same manner as any other
AP if remote use is not required.

See Figure 5 for an overview of the AP1014i’s access ports.

Figure 5: AP1014i Ports

The AP1014i utilizes a single 2x2 802.11b/g/n wireless radio with an internal antenna.

Although the AP1014i was designed for remote VPN use, it can be connected

Note:

Warning!

The WPS button on the AP1014i is not currently supported.

The Reset button on the AP1014i will erase all configured settings on the
device, including VPN communication configuration.

Configuring the AP1014i

80mm (3.15 inches)

Configuring the AP1014i

As mentioned above, prior to deploying the AP1014i remotely for VPN access, it must be configured to
securely connect to the corporate controller. Instructions for configuring VPN access can be found in
the "Configuring VPN Connections" section in the "Configuring Security" chapter of the System Director
Configuration Guide.

Installing the AP1014i

The AP1014i is designed to be mounted on either a horizontal flat surface (such as a desktop or table)
or a vertical surface (such as a wall). Note that if you are wall-mounting the AP, you will need to
purchase two screws separately. Simply screw them into the wall placed slightly more than three inches
apart (use the mounting template provided on the Quick Install document in the box) and slide the AP
into place on them. The mounting diagram is shown in Figure 6.

Be sure to mount the AP in such a manner that the Meru Networks logo on

Note:

For horizontal surface deployments, simply place the AP on the desired surface and follow the instruc­tions below.

the top of it is right-side up in order to ensure that the AP is properly
secured. In this configuration, the ethernet ports will be facing upwards.

Connect and Activate the AP

Follow the instructions below when deploying the AP for remote access. Note that prior to doing so,
the AP should be configured locally (when using it for VPN access) by the system administrator.

Refer to Figure 5 as a guide for connections.

Using the LAN Ports

1. Connect the ethernet cable to the port labeled F1 and a PoE device (either a PoE-capable switch

or a PoE injector). The device will power on automatically. The connection indicator lights at the
top of each network port should turn on when the AP is activated.

2. If desired, connect another corporate device (such as a VoIP phone) to the port labeled F2 (LAN

Port in Figure 5). Note that this port can be used for any devices that need to be connected to the
corporate network; it acts just as a network port at the office would. (The port should be colored
yellow to distinguish it from the WAN Port.)

3. Connect your wireless station to the wireless network (the SSID is the same as the corporate SSID

configured at your office).

Using the LAN Ports

As noted in the previous section, the AP1014i implements several Ethernet (LAN) ports that can operate
in the same manner as ports connected directly to the corporate network (when VPN is configured).
These ports can be used to connect corporate devices (such as a VoIP phone, desktop computer, etc.)
or you can connect a hub or switch to it and connect several devices at once to the corporate network.

Note:

AP1014i.

The LAN ports on the AP1014i will show up in the System Director WebUI under the Ethernet link
(Configuration > Wired > Ethernet). These ports can also be managed via user-configured Port
Profiles, as detailed in the "Configuring Network Interfaces" chapter of the Meru System Director
Configuration Guide (under "Configuring Port Profiles").

The following features are not currently supported on secondary Ethernet ports:

 Bridge mode with VLAN
 Dynamic VLAN in tunneled mode
 MAC Transparency

Note:

a traffic loop between the various interfaces. This is not a supported configuration
on the AP1014i.

A maximum of 128 devices can be supported by a single LAN port on the
