111About AP822 The AP822 Access Point series delivers high performance, full-speed, Wi-Fi certified 802.11ac connectivity while simultaneously supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g/n devices. AP822 is available in two models AP822i and AP822e.
Features12FeaturesIEEE Std 802.11ac in AP822The AP822 series is the first of Meru access point family capable of operating in the IEEE Std 802.11ac mode, which is capable for theoretical throughput rates up to 866 Mbps 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 AP822 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 con-figured for IEEE Std 802.11ac on 5 GHz (Primary Channel 36 with 80 MHz channel width).TABLE 1: AP822 Feature ListAP822i AP822eTwo dual-band-selectable radios, in either 2.4 GHz or 5.x GHz, capable of operating in IEEE 802.11b/g/a/n and IEEE 802.11ac DRAFT standards, with INTERNAL anten-nas.Two dual-band-selectable radios, in either 2.4 GHz or 5.x GHz, capable of operating in IEEE 802.11b/g/a/n and IEEE 802.11ac DRAFT standards, with optional EXTER-NAL antennas.Supported by System Director versions 6.1 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 traffic inspection.Powered by either a standard IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at PoE switches or PoE injec-tors. Supports an optional 12v external power adapter. 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 866 Mbps per radio at IEEE Std 802.11ac with MCS9/QAM-256 mode.
Installation Location 13With backward compatibility, AP822’s Radio 2 supports either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11a/n clients.Installation LocationAll AP822 interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection. Ceiling mount is recommended but wall mount is also supported. In addition, the AP822 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. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling or the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP822 horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance. •Access to power - access to wall outlet or to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the controller. •Capacity Planning - AP822 is capable of associating up to 128 clients per radio or 256 cli-ents 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.•Install APs toward the center of the building.•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 AP822 on a pole, its coverage will be a half spherical shape. Mounting two AP822’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.Safety PrecautionsWith grant of additional regulatory approvals and Permit-but-Ask by US Federal Communication Com-mission, users can configure two radios in AP822 on the same band (i.e., both radios are on the 2.4 GHz but in the different or same channels, or both radios are on the 5.x GHz but in the different or same channels). However, user shall expect performance deterioration due to RF collision. collocation, or co-channel interference (CCI). It is important that the users reduce AP822 transmit power, for each radio, by at-least 3 dBm for its default setting. It is also recommended to apply such use case in AP822e with pigtail attached external antennas only.
Safety Precautions14IMPORTANT—Read and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before installing and operating this product.If an optional power supply is used, it must be one supplied by Meru Networks.The AP822 is intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE Std 802.3af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the inter-connected equipment's associated LAN connection.This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power supply marked Class 2 or LPS and rated 12Vdc, 2A.

Warnings 61Indoor 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 Expo-sure 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 dis-tances minimales entre les êtres humains et les antennes. Toute antenne intérieure doit être installée de telle sorte que, dans des conditions normales, le person-nel 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 maxi-male 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.
