I try to make sure all of my timezones are configured correctly in Network Wide>General for each of my networks for the reason you just mentioned. Any time schedules etc will be properly enforced to their local timezone.

If you set up a trial account with Twilio, there are some important limitations to keep in mind. For the full list, see https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223136107-How-does-Twilio-s-Free-Trial-work- Here's the specific limitation you're likely seeing: Outbound trial messages can only be placed to a validated phone number. Before attempting to place an outbound call, be sure to verify the number. Only numbers in the US and Canada can be reached by default; for help enabling messages to a desired country, please see our Global SMS on Trial Accounts article.

The circle is green most of the time, and sometimes turns to yellow. I will see if i can reduce the response time and if that affects the requests frequency. Also I didn't know that the server only sends reports when a change appears. It could be the reason as I am working in a place where not so much devices connect. Anyway, thank you for your answers.

I am not sure if this video will help to show different authentication methods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQNgh5m5ehU Let me know if that helps

Yes, I am getting the same response with error 404. I think so I have to find an alternative method for calling the APIs using node or any other platform. Until then if someone finds any code using the mentioned API that can be written in JS to work on browser would be a great help. Thanks HodyCrouch and Philip for the help.

Not to highjack this thread but I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with creating a group policy and applying the splash page bypass but it not working properly? I'm trying to think of some troubleshooting steps but I'm not sure where to start.

Hi HodyCrouch, tx for your reply. The first recommendation indeed solved my issue. (The second probably wouold do so as well, but then I would need to create 80 short files which makes it much more effort.) Tx again, AndreasE

Try viewing them on the "Orgganisation/Overview" page, and check visually they look in their correct places. Often if one is missed it appears in the USA on the global map.

If you separate the APs between two different networks you could have one network with the SSID hidden and the other network set to broadcast the name. As HodyCrouch mentioned, there is always the SSID availability feature that can simply remove the AP from broadcasting on certain access points. This method is far superior in my opinion as it simplifies managing once you tag the APs, and doesn't require too much effort. Also, I would recommend against hiding your SSID broadcast if that was your intention, it causes more problems than it's worth and is not an effective security measure.

If you have access to the customer's Meraki organization, simply log in to Meraki dashboard, access the customer's organization, and go to Help - Cases. The customer will be able to see the case that you filed along with any updates. You can also use the phone numbers shown on the 'Get Help' page (in Meraki dashboard).

Oh the good ole days. Back in the 90's I was working for a capital equipment manufacturer in the semiconductor business. We were networking SUN386i computers using 10Base5(thick net). One morning I receive a frantic call from a customer in Colorado, a very big Semiconductor company. They were going crazy, the system is no longer connected to the network and they had to halt IC chip inspection. I told him the system had been running fine for months did they do anything or move the system. They said no. I asked if they checked to make sure the ethernet cable was plugged in. They said yes, with an I can't believe you even asked me that question, attitude. They demanded I get on a plan and fix the issue. Since they were a very big customer and had a few more machines on order I flew out that evening from New York to Colorado. I showed up to the site bright and early the next morning. They took me to the machine on the production floor. I verified the system wasn't connected to the network. I went right to the back of the system, noticed the network cable we half out. In those days the network cable was held in by a clip. I plugged in the network cable and everything came back up in seconds. I was there for a total of 10 minutes. I turned to the guy who ripped me a new one on the phone and said "All fixed, the network cable was unplugged". He was so embarrassed and just walked off. I worked with the network consultant for a few hours since my flight wasn't until that evening and then took a drive around Colorado.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was trying to pick what was allowed before authentication, but didn't know the term. Its up and running now.

HodyCrouch · ‎Mar 21 2018

Could you try to be more clear about what you're trying to do, the exact steps you're taking, and the exact results you see? You can also contact Meraki support directly for assistance.

Hi, The API can deliver an array of the 'point in time' detections as you've quite rightly highlighted. From that there is typically a job to do to sort through these individual detections and work out those which are in the middle of a visit.. When we've done this previously we've maintained an intermediary SQL based database and some logic in the receiver script/program, broadly outlined as follows: For each recorded detection: "have I seen this Mac address in the last 3 minutes?" - if yes, update the last_seen on a visit entry. - if no, create a new visit and add the information. We've found this is the best way of cleanly doing it. This then allows you the ability to hold a table full of 'visits' which can be analysed separately to 'detections'. Hope that helps, Chris

I certainly see a change in the available fields with "Download As \ CSV". However, I'm not limited to three fields. In the new version of the switches page, the CSV feature appears to include columns based on the visible columns on the current page. You can add fields using the wrench icon at the upper-right corner of the data table. After adding all available fields, I still can't get all of the columns that you mention. Some (not all) of this information is available through the Dashboard API.

NStoddard · ‎Feb 20 2018

Okay, after determining that the switch was the only device not appearing in the location, I found that if I went to the individual switch management page from the switch > switches in the navigation, I could select the switch in question, and then select "location" where I could drag and drop the location. Thanks for the help!

Login to Meraki Dashboard and select the network containing the access point you want to remove. Wireless > Access points Click the checkbox next to the access point and select 'Remove from network' from the Edit dropdown. Organization > Inventory Click the checkbox next to the access point and click 'Remove from network' from the Edit dropdown.

MRCUR · ‎Feb 15 2018

It looks like they "fixed" it so at least the CAPTCHA box appears after the failure alert. Better than nothing.

SEANK5 · ‎Feb 9 2018

I don't enjoy it either, but its a security requirement for the given environment these are being deployed into. Which also means that each AP will have to be unboxed and connected to our Test network (which does have DHCP), so it can pull down its config, before being shipped out.

The magic number seems to be 10 networks. The grouping of networks changes with the zoom level of the map, unless you have several networks positioned in the exact same spot on the map (it sounds like this is the case for you). When there are several networks in an area, they get grouped into a bigger marker on the map. Clicking on that marker causes the map to zoom in and display the networks separately (again, based on the zoom level of the map and the relative positions of the networks on the map). Of course, you can see the network status in the 'Network/Network tags/Devices' panel that floats over the map. You can use network tags or network names to quickly filter the list. For a high-level view, you can use the Network tags panel. If any networks are alerting, you will see the overall status for the tag reported as yellow or red. I'm not sure why, but it took a long time for me to notice the little triangle to expand the network panel that floats over the map. I find that expanded view to be especially useful. Otherwise, the only other option I see would be to reposition the networks so they are spread out on the map a bit. If you're depending on location information from the Scanning API, you definitely do not want to do this.

In case anyone else is interested, here's something I noticed this morning while tinkering with a smaller network. When I use a 'Wireless' configuration template rather than a 'Combined' configuration template, the behavior is different. When you view the list of networks bound to a configuration template, there's a 'Local overrides' column and a button 'Revert to template settings'. With a Combined configuration template, I don't get that column or button.

You'll need to remove the AP's from the staging network. You don't need to unclaim them, but they can't be in a network. Also, the network you want to put them into can't yet exist. If you already have the networks created, you can use the import tool to put the AP's into a temp network and then move the AP's into the correct network.

That's really helpful - thanks

EricWenger · ‎Dec 14 2017

Thanks!

You're seeing the usage of a single client against the usage of all clients that match the current filter criteria for the summary report. Here's a sample from a smaller network where you can do the math by hand. If I change the filter to show a single network or use a different date range, both the percentages and totals change as you would expect.
