Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:

        Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
        Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
        Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
         the receiver is connected.
        Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.


        FCC ID : UDX-MERAKI-OTDR

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with


minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

We declare that the product is limited in CH1-CH11 for 2.4G band by specific firmware
controlled by the manufacturer and is not user changeable.

EN 55 022 Declaration of Conformance
This is to certify that the Wireless Router is shielded against the generation of radio
interference in accordance with the application of Council Directive 89/336/EEC, Article
4a. Conformity is declared by the application of EN 55 022 Class B (CISPR 22).

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that permitted for successful communication."

This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a
maximum gain of 9 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than
9 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is
50 ohms.


Antennas suitable for use with the Meraki Outdoor:
1. Dipole Antenna with 2dBi gain
2. Dipole Antenna with 7dBi gain
3. Patch Antenna with cable 7.5dBi total gain
4. Chip Antenna with 2dBi gain (onboard)

Antenna Configurations suitable for use with Meraki Outdoor:
1. Dipole Antenna with 2dBi gain
2. Dipole Antenna with 7dBi gain
3. Patch Antenna with cable 7.5dBi total gain
4. Chip Antenna with 2dBi gain (onboard)

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1)       The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users, and
2)       The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or
antenna,
3)       For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1
to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply
any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change.


As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any
additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example
certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC
authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final
product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-
evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC
authorization.

                                   End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final
end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC
ID:UDX-MERAKI-OTDR”.

                           Manual Information To the End User
         The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end
user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end


product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show
in this manual.


Overview

The Meraki Outdoor Module is a hardware platform for the Meraki Mesh routing
software. The device simultaneously operates as a mesh router, bridge and access
point, and is suitable for use in either a standalone or embedded configuration. In
embedded settings, integrators may connect their existing Ethernet-based devices to
the Meraki Outdoor Module to add mesh networking capabilities.

The mesh routing software is updated often, and is thus not described in this manual.

Specifications

        180MHz MIPS CPU (Atheros AR2317 SoC)
        8MB Flash, 32MB SDRAM
        External RP-SMA antenna connector or internal chip antenna
        2 10/100 Mbit/s auto-crossover Ethernet ports
        Headers for 3.3v serial port, GPIOs
        5-22V DC tolerance


        Power-over-Ethernet support (non-802.3af)


Using the Module
The Meraki Outdoor Module comes pre-installed with Meraki Mesh firmware. The
following steps describe how to install the Meraki Outdoor Module as part of a network.

    1.   Connect the antenna to the RP-SMA antenna port.
    2.   Apply power to the Meraki Outdoor Module, using either a DC adapter or
         compatible Power-over-Ethernet adapter. Note: the Meraki Outdoor Module
         uses a non-standard voltage of 5-22V.
    3.   Allow the device to boot for one minute.
    4.   Connect a computer to the module to complete configuration. You can either
         use the Ethernet interface by connecting a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector,
         or connect to the device using an 802.11 client adapter. The preconfigured
         SSID is “meraki”.
    5.   Once connected, use a web browser to view the local connection statistics by
         visiting http://192.168.85.1/. If the signal is weak, consider repositioning the
         device to improve signal quality.


Firmware Upgrades
The Meraki Mesh software automatically applies firmware upgrades over the network.
During the upgrade, the power LED on the bottom of the module will flash off and on
for up to 15 minutes. Do not power down the device during this time.
