Power off the unit before you begin. Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to a power
source.
Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with
standard practices for preventing accidents.

follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system.
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that the protective
device is rated not greater than: 15 A, 125 Vac, or 10A, 240 Vac.

Pre-install Preparation
You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation.
Configure the Dashboard Network
The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MG21 to your network. For detailed instructions
about creating, configuring and managing Meraki networks, refer to our online documentation portal.
1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com and select the intended organization. If this is your first time using the Meraki
dashboard, create a new account.
2. Claim the device to your organization inventory. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or
the serial number of each MG, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit. You will
also need to claim your Enterprise license key, which you should have received via email.
3. Find or create the network to which you plan to add your MG21.
4. Add your MG21 to the network.
Check and Set Firmware
To ensure your MG21 performs optimally immediately following installation, it is recommended that you facilitate a
firmware upgrade prior to using your MG21.
1. Insert an active SIM card into the tray before powering up the device.
2. Connect your MG21 to power.
3. The MG21 will turn on and the power LED will glow solid orange until it comes online.
