Security Features

The MR42 features multiple options for physically securing the access point after installation:

1. Security screw – The accessory kit includes screws that can be used to secure the access point to the mount

cradle. Engaging the security screw prevents accidental dislodging and theft.

2. Kensington lock – The access point contains a hard point that allows it to be secured to any nearby permanent

structure using a standard Kensington lock.

Ethernet Ports

The MR42 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.

The port labeled “PoE” accepts 802.3at and 802.3af power and should be used as the primary uplink to your LAN/WAN.

Power Source Options

The MR42 access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter, PoE njector (both sold separately), or a third-party PoE switch.

Factory Reset Button

f the button is pressed and held for at least ﬁve seconds and then released, the MR42 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 MR42 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 MR42 may be operated in “Run Dark” mode for additional security and to reduce the visibility of the access point. n this mode, the LED will not be

illuminated. This mode may be enabled through Meraki dashboard.

Safety and Warnings

These operations are to be taken with respect to all local laws. Please take the following into consideration for safe operation:

• Power off the unit before you begin. Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power

source.

• Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with

standard practices for preventing accidents.

• 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 MR42 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. f 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 MR42 performs optimally immediately following installation, it is recommended that you facilitate a ﬁrmware upgrade prior to mounting your

MR42.

1. Attach your MR42 to power and a wired nternet connection. See the "Power the MR42" section for details.

2. The MR42 will turn on and the LED will glow solid orange. f the unit does not require a ﬁrmware upgrade, the LED

will turn either green (no clients associated) or blue (clients associated) within thirty seconds.

* f 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 few minutes for the ﬁrmware upgrade to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Check and Conﬁgure Firewall Settings

f a ﬁrewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular P addresses. The most current list of outbound ports and P addresses

for your particular organization can be found here.

Assigning IP Addresses to MR42s

All gateway MR42s (MR42s with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable P addresses. These P addresses can be dynamically assigned

via DHCP or statically assigned.

Dynamic Assignment

When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be conﬁgured to assign a static P 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 P addresses.

Static Assignment

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

1. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP wirelessly (by associating to any SS D

broadcast by the AP).

2. 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.

3. 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).

4. Conﬁgure the static P address, net mask, gateway P address and DNS servers that this AP will use on

its wired connection.

5. f necessary, reconnect the AP to the LAN.

Static IP via DHCP Reservations

nstead of associating to each Meraki AP individually to conﬁgure static P addresses, an administrator can assign static P addresses on the upstream

DHCP server. Through “DHCP reservations,” P addresses are “reserved” for the MAC addresses of the Meraki APs. Please consult the documentation

for the DHCP server to conﬁgure DHCP reservations.

Installation Instructions

Choose Your Mounting Location

A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your MR42 access point. Keep the following in mind:

1. The device should have unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas. For example, if installing in an ofﬁce

ﬁlled with workspaces divided by mid-height cubicle walls, installing on the ceiling or high on a wall would be ideal.

2. Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).

3. f being used in a mesh deployment, the MR42 should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices. A

Cisco Partner can help ensure that your AP placement is ideal.

Install the MR42

For most mounting scenarios, the MR42 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 MR42 to the mount cradle.

Attach the mount cradle

The MR42 mount cradle can be used to install your access point in a wide range of scenarios: wall or solid ceiling, below a drop ceiling, on various electrical

junction boxes.

The mount cradle contains a variety of hole patterns that are customized for each installation scenario. The mounting template (included inbox with mount

cradle) should be used to drill holes for wall mounts and also to identify the correct hole patterns in the mount cradle that should be used for each type of mount.

The included mount cradle template shows the hole patterns that should be used for each type of mount.

Wall or Solid Ceiling Mount Using mount cradle

Using included wall anchors and screws, attach the mount cradle to your mounting wall or ceiling. t is recommended that the MR42 be mounted to a

wall or solid ceiling using the mount cradle for physical security reasons.

Drop ceiling mount using mount cradle

To mount your MR42 on a drop ceiling T-rail, use the included drop ceiling mounting accessory kit. The accessory kit can be used to mount to most 9/

16”, 15/16” or 1 ½” T-rails. The kit contains:

• Drop ceiling mounting clips with set screws

• 6-32x4 mm screws
