1.Using a client machine such as a laptop, connect to one of the 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.The default credentials use the device serial number as
the username, with a blank password field.
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 the MX's WAN / Internet port to your upstream circuit and wait
a few minutes for the unit to negotiate a DHCP address.
Setting up Cellular Failover
The MX67C and MX68CW have an embedded LTE module for cellular failover connections. The following section will walk through first-time set-up of an MX
with an internet connection as a primary connection and cellular as failover.
To set up the cellular failover connection, follow the steps below:
1.Power off the MX. Swapping/installing SIM cards while the MX is powered on may cause unexpected behavior or errors
2.For the MX67C, connect the antennas for cellular reception. Antennae are pre-attached for the MX68CW
3.Open the SIM tray using the SIM card removal tool included in the box
4.Insert a nano SIM card (4FF size) and close the SIM tray
5.Connect the uplink for the MX device via a wired connection to connect to the Meraki cloud
6.Power on the MX and wait for the MX to show as online in the Meraki dashboard
7.Check with the carrier of choice if an APN needs to be configured. If so, do that from the Meraki Dashboard underSecurity & SD-WAN > Monitor >
Appliance Status > Uplink tab
8.Navigate to Security & SD-WAN > Monitor > Appliance Status > Uplinktab and next to Status, select the edit (pencil) button and then select
Enabled. When the cellular uplink is successfully connected, you will be able to see the status on the left hand side of the Appliance Status page and in
the Uplink tab. The connection will say Ready when it is successfully connected
9.Test the cellular failover connection by unplugging the wired connection or by using the traceroute tool underSecurity & SD-WAN > Monitor >
When the WAN connection is fully enabled, Internet LED 1 will turn green.
Note that the IMEI cannot yet be found on the Meraki dashboard, only on the physical label of the device. The IMEI of the MXs with embedded LTE,
as well as the serial number and MAC address, can be found on the product label at the bottom of cellular-embedded MX devices.
