Prepare for Setup

2Plan your power source

Verify access to your ﬁrewall or WiFi router

PREP

During the setup process, you will need to plug the Meraki Z3C into a power

source. We recommend utilizing an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), as this

will protect the device from power surges and brownouts. At a minimum the

Meraki should be connected to a surge protector to prevent any damage from

occurring to the device.

Before you start the setup process, verify that you have access to edit your

router conﬁguration. You may be required to make changes depending on your

service plan and if you have a modem/router combo. If you are unsure how to

access your router or modem/router combo, consult the user guide provided

with the device or call your ISPs Customer Support for instructions.

steps to get your Meraki Z3C service up and running.

NOTE: You may need to power cycle (power off and then back on) the device(s)

connected to the Meraki’s LAN ports, to get the device(s) to link up.

Connect the Meraki Z3C

3The Meraki Z3/Z3C requires connections to your Internet circuit and your network. Wait to plug

in the Meraki power connection until all network connections are plugged in.

• Using Ethernet cables, plug the ISP connection into the “Internet” port on

the Meraki Z3C. For Standard home Oﬃces that means you would plug

your modem into “Internet 1” port on the Meraki Z3C.

• Connect any devices that will not use WiFi to ports 2 through 5 of the Meraki

Z3C. Note that Port 5 is a Power over Ethernet or PoE port, and should be

used for VoIP Phones, WiFi Access Points, or other devices that utilize PoE

to draw power from the Meraki Z3C.

• Connect the Meraki Z3C power adapter to the port on the back of the device.

Then plug the power adapter into a power source.

Test Connection and Make Final Updates

4You should now be up and running on your Meraki service. Connect your devices to the Meraki

WiFi connection or to the available LAN ports on the back of the Meraki device. Note that devices

must be connected to either the Meraki WiFi network or physically through the Meraki device in

order to take advantage of the features of the Meraki service including ﬁrewalling and VPN

connections. You may need to disable your modem’s built in WiFi connection and ensure no other

devices are physically connected to the back of the modem.

To make sure connectivity is working

properly, run the following tests:

• Open up a web browser

• Test a streaming service

• Connect to your VPN (if applicable)

Congrats! Your setup is now complete.
