Mounting hardware

The supplied wall screws and anchors allow you to mount the gateway on a drywall
surface, either vertically or horizontally.

• 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 gateway.

Connecting to WAN
All Meraki Z1 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 gateway, 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 (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 one of the four LAN ports of
the Z1.
2. Using a browser on the client machine, access the gateway'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 Z1 devices are configured to DHCP from upstream WAN / ISP servers.
Simply plug the Z1'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, the device's front LED will be solid
white.
Additional settings

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 Z1 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.

Web proxy settings

These settings take effect if the Z1 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 gateway, 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.
Power efficiency modes

The Meraki Z1 Teleworker Appliance has an off mode and a networked standby or
efficient idle mode, both with power consumption less than 12W.

In off mode, the power consumption is a measured 0.3W. In the networked standby or
efficient idle mode, the power consumption is under that of full operation mode, which is
a measured 6.6W. This mode is initiated after treating the last payload packets.

To activate and/or deactivate wireless network ports, you may use the physical on/off
switch or deactivate through the Meraki Dashboard.
