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.
Check and Set Firmware
To ensure your MR36H performs optimally immediately following installation, it is recommended that you facilitate a firmware upgrade prior to mounting your
MR36H.
1.
Attach your MR36H to power and a wired Internet connection. See the "Power the MR36H" section for details.
2.
The MR36H will turn on and the LED will glow solid orange. If the unit does not require a firmware upgrade, the LED will turn either green (no clients
associated) or blue (clients associated) within thirty seconds.
* If the unit requires an upgrade, the LED will begin blinking orange until the upgrade is complete, at which point the LED will turn solid green or blue. You should
allow at least a few minutes for the firmware upgrade to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
Check and Configure Upstream Firewall Settings
If a firewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses. Check the Meraki Dashboard under the help section for
Firewall information.
Assigning an IP Address to the MR36H
All gateway MR36Hs (MR36Hs with Ethernet connections to the LAN) must be assigned routable IP addresses. These IP addresses can be dynamically
assigned via DHCP or statically assigned.
Dynamic Assignment
When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a static IP address for each MAC address belonging to a Meraki AP. Other features of the
wireless network, such as 802.1X authentication, may rely on the property that the APs have static IP addresses.
Static Assignment
Static IPs are assigned using the local web server on each AP. The following procedure describes how to set the static IP:
1.
Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP wirelessly (by associating to any SSID broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection.
2.
If using a wired connection, connect the client machine to the MR36H either through a PoE switch or a PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an
Ethernet cable into the MR36H’s Ethernet jack, and the other end into a PoE switch. Then connect the client machine over Ethernet cable to the PoE
switch. If using a PoE Injector, connect the MR36H to the “PoE” port of the Injector, and the client machine to the “LAN” port.
3.
Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP’s built-in web server by browsing to
. Alternatively, browse to
.
4.
Click on the “Uplink Configuration” tab. Log in. The default login is the serial number (e.g. Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx), with no password (e.g., Q2DD-551C-ZYW3).
