• A brief, momentary press: To delete a downloaded configuration and reboot.
• Press and hold for more than 10 sec: To force the unit into a full factory reset.
Please note that the serial number is located on the product label at the back panel of MX84.
Mounting hardware
The mounting hardware includes four sets of standard slot-head rack screws and nuts. The additional screws and nuts
are for use with optional rear brackets if rear support is required. When installing the appliance, make sure that there is
sufficient space between the rear of the rack and other obstacles to ensure adequate airflow.
Safety guidelines
Regardless if you are using a wall power outlet (MAINS) or any other type of power connection (e.g., a UPC device),
always ensure that the power cord can be readily disconnected from the hardware unit.
Connecting to 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.
3
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 (ex: 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 the management port 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.
When the WAN connection is fully enabled, Internet LED will turn white.
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 up secondary WAN interface (dual WAN)
The MX84 comes with two dedicated Internet ports, which are both configured through the Uplink configuration under
the Local status tab.
Setting PPPoE
PPPoE authentication may be required if you are connecting MX device 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.
4
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 autonegotiation, as well as set 10- or 100-Mbps data rates.
