Aruba MSR2000 Wireless Mesh Router Installation Guide
The Aruba AirMesh MSR2000 is a resilient, environmentally hardened, outdoor rated, dual-radio, dual-band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless mesh router. This outdoor mesh router is part of Aruba’s comprehensive wireless network solution. The MSR2000 delivers high-performance wireless mesh routing to outdoor environments where wired connectivity is impractical or unavailable. The MSR2000 is ideal for deployment in metropolitan and industrial areas, oil fields, mines, and shipping ports.
The MSR2000 requires the Aruba MeshOS operating system.
There are three versions of the MSR2000, which mainly differ in the way they receive power.
MSR2KP: Power over Ethernet (PoE+) powered (802.3at)
MSR2KAC: AC powered (100 - 240 VAC)
MSR2KDC: DC powered (12 - 48 VDC)
The MSR2KAC/DC can function as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device by providing power through its Ethernet port in compliance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Antenna Interface The MSR2000 requires the use of detachable outdoor-rated antennas. Select the correct antenna type to support the required frequency band (2.4 or 5 GHz) and the desired coverage pattern. The MSR2000 is equipped with four, female N-type antenna interfaces; two on the top of the AP and two on the bottom. The interfaces are grouped into diversity pairs, one pair is marked R0 (Radio 0) and the other pair marked as R1 (Radio 1).

USB Console Interface A USB serial console port is provided for connection to a terminal, allowing direct local management. Use the included USB console cable to connect to the AP. You can download the necessary driver for USBUART adapter from support.arubanetworks.com under the Tools & Resources tab. Use the following setting to access the terminal: Table 1 Console Settings Product SKUs

The baudrate setting depends on the manufacturing date of the MSR2000 (before or after March 2012) and the Serial Number (14 characters or 9 characters). The table above lists all the SKUs for this product along with the corresponding baudrate.
Power Interface The type of power interface on your MSR2000 depends on which model you have purchased.
!
MSR2KP: This version does not include a power interface since it is only powered by PoE+ (802.3at).
MSR2KAC: One AC power connector
MSR2KDC: One DC power connector
Do not connect a DC power cable to an MSR2KAC or an AC power cable to a MSR2KDC.

Ethernet Interface The MSR2000 is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network connectivity. On the MSR2KP, this port also supports IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE), accepting 48 VDC as a standards-defined powered device (PD) from a power sourcing equipment (PSE) device, such as a PoE midspan injector. Inversely, the MSR2KAC and MSR2KDC can act as a PSE device to provide IEEE802.3af PoE power to devices connected to the Ethernet port.
Grounding Point Always remember to protect your MSR2000 by installing grounding lines. The ground connection must be complete before connecting power to the MSR2000 enclosure. Ensure that the resistance is less than 5 ohm between the ground termination point and the grounding tier and the cross section of the grounding cable should be no less than 6 square mm.
MSR2KP LED Status Indicators The MSR2000 include visual indicators for power, link, and radio status. Additionally, each radio has a fourLED array that indicates received signal strength (RSSI). The RSSI LED indicators represent varying degrees in the RSSI level. The absence of a signal is indicated by no LED response, and full signal strength is indicated when all four LEDs are active and lit.
