    Mounting hardware
    The supplied wall screws and anchors allow you to mount the appliance on a drywall surface, either
    vertically or horizontally. The distance between the holes you drill should be 165 mm.
   For mounting on drywall, use a ¼ -in drill bit, then insert the plastic and screw assemblies.
   For mounting on wood or a similar surface, use only the screws.
   Allow the heads of the screws to stick out far enough to be inserted securely into the back of the
    appliance.
   This equipment is only suitable for mounting at heights ≤ 2 m
   Warning: This equipment may not work when mains power fails.




    Connecting to the WAN
    All Meraki MX devices must have an IP address. This section describes how to configure your local area
    network before you deploy it. A local management web service, running on the appliance, is accessed
    through a browser running on a client PC. This web service is used for configuring and monitoring basic
    ISP/WAN connectivity.


     Setting up a static IP address

     To ensure that the client PC is redirected to the local web service in the following step, you must disable
     all other network services (e.g., Wi-Fi) on your client machine.

     Do the following to configure basic connectivity and other networking parameters:
1.   Using a client machine such as a laptop, connect to one of the ten LAN ports of the MX.
2.   Using a browser on the client machine, access the appliance's built-in web service by browsing
     to http://setup.meraki.com. (You do not have to be connected to the Internet to reach this address)
3.   Click Uplink configuration under the Local status tab.
4.   Choose Static for the IP Assignment option.
5.   Enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway IP and DNS server information.


     Setting up a DHCP IP address
     By default all MX devices are configured to DHCP from upstream WAN / ISP servers. Simply plug one of
     the MX's WAN / Internet ports into your upstream circuit and wait a few minutes for the unit to negotiate
     a DHCP address.
     Icon
     When the WAN connection is fully enabled, the Internet 1 or 2 LED 1 will turn green.


     Additional settings
     Please note that all these settings below are accessible only via the local management console.

     Setting VLANs
     If your WAN uplink is on a trunk port, choose VLAN tagging > Use VLAN tagging and enter the
     appropriate value for VLAN ID for your network.


     Setting PPPoE
     PPPoE authentication may be required if you are connecting the MX to a DSL circuit. You need to know
     your authentication option and credentials (supplied by your ISP) in order to complete these steps.
    Choose Connection Type > PPPoE.
    Select your Authentication option.
    If you select Use authentication, enter appropriate values for Username and Password.


    Web proxy settings
    These settings take effect if the MX device has to fall back to using HTTP to contact the Cloud Controller.
    By default, web proxy is disabled. To enable web proxy, do the following:
   Choose Web proxy > Yes.
   Enter values as appropriate for Hostname or IP and Port.
   If you require authentication, choose Authentication > Use authentication, and enter appropriate
    values for Username and Password.


    To apply all configuration settings to the appliance, be sure to click Save Settings at the bottom of the
    page.


    Configuring physical link settings
    To configure physical link settings on the Ethernet ports, click Local status > Ethernet configuration.
    You can enable half duplex, full duplex, and auto-negotiation, as well as set 10- or 100-Mbps data rates.
