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
.
5
The wall mount bracket is designed to be installed over a wall plate (single ga ng box).
2.
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. Once the bracket has been completely removed from the AP, position the bracket over
the wall plate and install two screws (not included) as shown. Adjust th e bracket ove r the
6
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" cli ps to th e
7.
small raised bumps on the top edge of the AP. For additional visual alignment refe rence ,
use the edges of the bracket which line up with the outside vent holes on the AP.

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 2.4 GHz but in the different or
same channels, and both radios are on the 5.x GHz but in the different or same channels).
However, user shall e xpect performance deterio ration due to RF coll ision and collocation inte rference. It is important that users adopt external antennas, with extended coaxial pigtail
cables, with AP122 in such use case. User shall place antennas far apart to reduce interference. Meanwhile, user shall also reduce AP122 transmit power, for each radio, by at-least 3
dBm from its default setting.
Manufacturing Information
The AP122 models are built in China. Contact Meru Networks for manufacturing related information.

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
