Just plug 'em in. Go to the website, create an account and follow the setup wizard. They'll download their settings and be off and running. For a larger install, we usually do something like this: + plug one into a cat-5 internet connection (with dhcp, NAT ok) + plug the others into power + leave them for an hour to get any firmware updates needed + go to the website and create a new location, e.g. "Camp Fun" + create a 2nd location "Camp Fun Stock on hand" + use the 'import order' to move all your merakis into stock on hand + make a labels according to where you expect to place them + grab a meraki, put a label on it + on the website, move that meraki, based on MAC, out of stock on hand into "Camp Fun" and position it on the map + repeat previous two steps + we usually put all the merakis in a big box at this point and take that to the install site + skip the stock-on-hand step if you have exactly the number you want Hope this helps! cheers, michael -- Michael Mee 858-531-0735 www.socalfreenet.org _______________________________________________ SoCalFreeNet.org General Discussion List To unsubscribe, please visit: http://socalfreenet.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_socalfreenet.org
