1 About OAP832e
The OAP832e Access Point is a dual radio, and single band 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. 80-
MHz 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 traf-
fic 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 op erating in the IEEE Std 802.11ac mode, which is capa ble
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 1
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 wire-
less 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 ser-
vice 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

Power Requirements 3
Power Requirements4
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 5
Unscrew the two main components of the connector.
1.
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 inse rt the cabl e.
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 componen t with a
large rubber washer should be facing the end of the Ethernet cable (which wil l be con-
nected 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 compo-
nent 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 Point6
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 roof-
installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes.
Radio Interference
Avoiding radio interference is an important p art of wireless planni ng. 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 7
• Temperature - The OAP832e is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -40F to
149F. Operating in temperatu re s outside of this range ma y 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 hea vy 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 mois-
ture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete fail-
ure of the link.
• Snow and Ice - Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. How-
ever, 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 dete rmined, plan a ca ble 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 b e 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 Point8
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.

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.
