  • Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system.
  • This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than: 15 A, 125 Vac, or 10A, 240 Vac.
  • Please only power the device with the provided power cables or standard PoE to ensure regulatory compliance.

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 MR76 to your network. For detailed instructions about creating, configuring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer to the online documentation (documentation.meraki.com/mr).

  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 MR76 performs optimally immediately following installation, it is recommended that you facilitate a firmware upgrade prior to mounting your MR76.

  1. Attach your MR76 to PoE enabled wired Internet connection. See the "Power the MR76" section for details.
  2. The MR76 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 blue until the upgrade is complete, at which point the LED will turn solid green or blue. You should allow at least a few minutes for the firmware upgrade to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Check and Configure Firewall Settings

If a firewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses. The most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses for your particular organization can be found here

Assigning IP Addresses to MR76s

All gateway MR76s (MR76s with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable IP addresses. These IP addresses can be dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically assigned.

Dynamic Assignment (Recommended) 

When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a static IP address for each MAC address belonging to a Meraki AP. Other features of the wireless network, such as 802.1X authentication, may rely on the property that the APs have static IP addresses.

Static Assignment

Static IPs are assigned using the local web server on each AP. The following procedure describes how to set the static IP:

  1. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP wirelessly (by associating to any SSID broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection.
  2. If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the MR76 either through a PoE switch or a PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable into the MR76’s Ethernet jack, and the other end into a PoE switch. Then connect the client machine over Ethernet cable to the PoE switch. If using a PoE Injector, connect the MR76 to the “PoE” port of the Injector, and the client machine to the “LAN” port.
  3. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP’s built-in web server by browsing to http://my.meraki.com. Alternatively, browse to http://10.128.128.128.
  4. Click on the “Uplink Configuration” tab. Log in. The default login is the serial number (e.g. Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx), with no password (e.g., Q2DD-551C-ZYW3).
  5. Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that this AP will use on its wired connection.
  6. If necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN.

Static IP via DHCP Reservations

Instead of associating to each Meraki AP individually to configure static IP addresses, an administrator can assign static IP addresses on the upstream DHCP server. Through “DHCP reservations,” IP addresses are “reserved” for the MAC addresses of the Meraki APs. Please consult the documentation for the DHCP server to configure DHCP reservations.

  • Appropriately sized metal straps (if mounting to a pole larger than 3.9” in diameter)
  • Specialized mounting hardware if mounting to surface other than wood, stucco or stone

Installation Instructions

Warning: Due to the heat dissipation in the back of APs during normal operation, please do not stack powered on APs on top of each other during pre-installation to avoid heat damage.

Choose Your Mounting Location

A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your MR76 access point. Keep the following in mind:

  1. The device should have unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas.
  2. Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).
  3. If being used in a mesh deployment, the MR76 should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices.
  4. The antennas should be as unobstructed as possible. Make sure that there is clearance around the MR76 for installation of all of your chosen antennas.

Install the MR76

For most mounting scenarios, the MR76 mount cradle provides a quick, simple, and flexible means of mounting your device. The installation should be done in two steps. First, install the mount cradle to your selected location. Then, attach the MR76 to the mount cradle.

Remove the Mount Plate from the Access Point

Before installing the mount plate, you must remove it from the back of the access point.

  1. Unscrew the mount plate attachment screw.
  2. Lift the mount plate release tab upwards.
  3. While holding the mount plate release tab up, slide the mount plate off the access point in the direction shown below.

 

Attach the mount cradle

The MR76 mount plate can be used to install your access point in a wide range of scenarios.

Wall or Solid Ceiling Mount Using mount cradle

Using included wall anchors and screws, attach the mount plate to your mounting wall or ceiling.

 

clipboard_eed33c8a7801f87842a975043542a444f.png

It is recommended that the MR76 be mounted to a wall or solid ceiling using the mount plate for physical security reasons.

clipboard_ed044f9ea81b899772f96ee8db2a7d791.png

Antennas 

Choose the antenna based on the install location and designed area of coverage. The datasheet includes a list of certified antennas. 3rd party antennas may be used but it is the responsibility of the end customer/partner to ensure operation is within regulatory compliance. 

Reminder: Since the MR76 requires one antenna for each band please ensure that the antennas are aimed in the same coverage area. 

Antenna selection

Meraki offers a number of antenna options for the MR76 access point. The MR76 features dual band antenna ports thus dual band antennas should be paired with the AP. Below is a highlight of the different antenna types and their applications. It is always best practice to consult with a Cisco SE or Partner in to select the best antenna for the unique design. 

 

Omni Directional

Omni directional antennas are best for pole mounts applications and for mesh networks. Use omni directional antennas when designing to cover 360 degrees around the Access Point. 

Sector Antenna

Sector antennas are ideal for building mounts as they target the signal away from the interior spaces of the building and focus the energy to the larger outdoor space. This antenna is ideal for exterior building use but may also be used for some mesh network designs. 

Patch Antenna

Patch antennas are ideal for Access points mounted on a high ceiling and is intended to cover a large space. This antenna is ideal for warehouses. 

Stadium Patch Antenna

A stadium patch antenna is ideal for a high density AP deign with expected high user per sqft. Examples of this are in stadiums where 1 AP is designed to cover a section and a event center where there is high user per sqft. 

Please select the right antenna in Dashboard when adding the MR76 to a network. Maximum TX power will depend on the antenna selection made in Dashboard.

Aim Antennas

If you are using directional antennas, aim them appropriately to ensure optimal performance for your specific network topography. Omnidirectional antennas perform best in a mesh network when oriented vertically. Patch and sector antennas should be angled in the direction of the desired coverage area.

Attach Antennas

Remove protective plastic covers from all four N-type RF connectors. Attach appropriate antennas (and protective boots if included).

Power the MR76

  1. Route the Ethernet cable from the PoE Injector “OUT” port or from a PoE enabled switch to the MR76.
  2. Install a Cable Gland on the MR76 end of the cable.
    clipboard_e6834c593fbe53fdfac8f6f649e88bd97.png
     
  3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the Meraki MR76.
    1. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port on the MR76.
    2. Screw the gland body into the threaded hole of the port. Use an adjustable wrench to make sure the gland body is fully seated in the hole.
    3. Insert the split ring gasket into the gland body.
    4. Screw the cap tightly onto the gland. You may need a wrench to fully tighten the cap, but take care not to damage the cable in the process. 
       

Powering the MR76 with the Meraki 802.3at Power over Ethernet Injector (sold separately)

1. Plug the power cord into the PoE Injector and the other end into wall power.
2. Plug an Ethernet cable that is connected to an active Ethernet connection into the “IN“ port on the injector.
3. Route Ethernet cable from the “OUT“ port on the injector to the PoE labled port in the cable bay of the MR76.

 

MR76 requires only 802.3af power to operate in normal mode. 

Verify Device Functionality and Test Network Coverage

  1. Check LEDs
    1. The Power LED should be solid green (or blue, if clients are connected). If it is flashing blue, the firmware is automatically upgrading and the LED should turn green when the upgrade is completed (normally within a few minutes). See the "LED Indicators" section for more details.
    2. Note: Your MR76 must have an active route to the Internet to check and upgrade its firmware.
  2. Verify access point connectivity
    1. Use any 802.11 client device to connect to the MR76 and verify proper connectivity using the client’s web browser.
  3. Check network coverage
  4. Confirm that you have good signal strength throughout your coverage area. You can use the signal strength meter on a laptop, smart phone, or other wireless device.
