The Meraki access points don't need a controller, but do need a license. There is no console to configure the device from, the configuration is done via the Dashboard, dashboard.meraki.com. The easiest way to bring up an AP is PoE+ port, configured as trunk port, with DHCP on the native VLAN, and internet access. The access point will get an IP address from DHCP and pull its configuration from the Meraki cloud.
