The MR20-HW 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.
Power Source Options
The MR20-HW access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter, PoE
Injector (both sold separately), or a third-party PoE switch.
Factory Reset Button
If the button is pressed and held for at least five seconds and then released, the MR20-
HW 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 MR20-HW 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 MR20-HW may be operated in "Run Dark" mode for additional security and to
reduce the visibility of the access point. In this mode, the LED will not be illuminated. This
mode may be enabled through Meraki dashboard.
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 MR20-HW 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. 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.
