Jun 20, 2019

Introduction

Welcome to the MR42E Installation Guide by Integrity Hotel Partners. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing the Cisco Meraki MR42E wireless access point for your hotel. By following our detailed instructions, you can ensure a smooth and reliable installation that will provide excellent wireless connectivity for your guests.

Before You Begin

Before starting the installation process, it is important to gather all the necessary equipment and familiarize yourself with the components included with the Cisco Meraki MR42E. Ensure that you have:

  • The Cisco Meraki MR42E wireless access point
  • Mounting brackets and screws
  • Power adapter or PoE injector
  • Ethernet cables
  • Documentation provided with the device

Make sure you have a clear understanding of your hotel's network setup and the location where you plan to install the MR42E access point.

Step 1: Identifying the Installation Location

The first step in installing the MR42E wireless access point is to identify the optimal location within your hotel. Consider the following factors:

  • Coverage area: Determine the areas of your hotel where wireless coverage is needed the most.
  • Obstructions: Look for any physical obstructions that may hinder the Wi-Fi signal, such as walls or large objects.
  • Power source: Ensure that the installation location provides access to a power outlet or a PoE (Power over Ethernet) connection.
  • Ethernet connection: Consider the proximity to an Ethernet connection for the MR42E device.

Once you have identified the installation location, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Mounting the Access Point

Using the mounting brackets and screws provided with the Cisco Meraki MR42E, securely mount the access point onto the desired location. Ensure that the access point is positioned at the recommended height and angle for optimal wireless coverage.

Note: If you are unsure about the mounting process, refer to the documentation provided by Cisco Meraki for detailed instructions.

Step 3: Connecting the Cables

Next, connect the necessary cables to the MR42E access point. Follow these steps:

  1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the MR42E access point.
  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network switch or router.
  3. If you are using a PoE injector, connect the Ethernet cable between the injector and the access point's LAN port.
  4. Connect the power adapter to the access point's power port or, if using PoE, connect the Ethernet cable from the injector to a PoE switch or power source.

Ensure that all connections are secure and properly inserted. Double-check the documentation for any specific cable requirements or recommendations.

Step 4: Powering On and Configuring

After connecting the cables, power on the MR42E access point. Wait for the device to complete the boot-up process. The access point's LED lights will indicate the status of the installation.

Once the access point is powered on, you can proceed with configuring the device using the Cisco Meraki dashboard. Access the dashboard through a web browser and follow the provided setup instructions. Configure the network settings, SSID, security protocols, and any additional features required for your hotel's wireless network.

You may refer to the Cisco Meraki documentation for detailed guidance on the configuration process.

Step 5: Testing and Troubleshooting

After the configuration is complete, it is essential to test the MR42E access point to ensure proper functionality and coverage. Use Wi-Fi devices to connect to the network and assess the signal strength and performance in various areas of your hotel.

If any issues arise during testing, consult the troubleshooting section of the Cisco Meraki MR42E documentation. It provides troubleshooting steps for common problems and solutions to help you resolve issues quickly and effectively.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured the Cisco Meraki MR42E wireless access point for your hotel. By following this comprehensive installation guide, you can provide your guests with a reliable and high-performance Wi-Fi network.

Remember to keep the access point firmware up to date, monitor the network performance regularly, and make adjustments if necessary to ensure the best experience for your hotel guests.
