3 Pre-Install Preparation

You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an

installation.

3.1 Configure Your Network in Dashboard

Meraki recommends that you add your MR33 to a network in Dashboard

before mounting it in the field. The following is a brief overview only of the

steps required to add an MR33 to your network. For detailed instructions

about creating, configuring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer

to the Meraki Cloud Controller Manual

(cisco.meraki.com/support/#documentation).

1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a

new account.

2. Find the network to which you plan to add your nodes or create a new

network.

3. Add your nodes to your network. You will need your Meraki order number

(found on your invoice if you ordered directly from Meraki) or the

serial number of each node, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is

found on the bottom of the unit.

4. Finally, go to the map / floor plan view and place each node on the map

by clicking and dragging it to the location where you plan to mount it.

You can always modify the location later.

3.2 Check and Upgrade Firmware

To ensure your MR33 performs optimally immediately following installation,

Meraki recommends that you facilitate a firmware upgrade prior to

mounting your MR33.

1. Attach your MR33 to power and a wired Internet connection.
