Hello, For purposes of developing API scripts and individuals learning to use the API, it would be a great piece of mind if we could do these things in an environment with no possibility of an accident effecting a live system.   Ideally, a separate test organisation would be best however it seems a network doesn't "unlock" certain device related settings until you add a device to the network.   For example you cant edit wifi settings until you add at least one MR unit.   Is there a way to allow all settings to be available without any equipment?   thanks, ...

Hello,   We have multiple sites all over the world. Each site has its own network in our portal.  We have a CCTV network with all our cameras and a single sensor. The cameras and sensor are at different physical sites with different Meraki networks (all in the same WAN). I recently started buying and deploying sensors at my local site to test them out. I put them in my sites network to begin with where they connected and worked just fine. There is a camera and a AP in the room, not sure which they use to connect.   I realised they would be better in the CCTV network so I could associated cameras, only need one profile etc so I moved them over and they looked ok, but I came back to check them later and apparently they have been offline for 4 hours - cant connect to network. The sensor that was in the CCTV network originally is still fine. Its at another site to the ones I added but it has the same kind of setup - I thought maybe because I moved the sensors to a different network to the AP that was the problem but then that other sensor seems fine and it is in the same situation.  I guess because at least the camera is in the same network they are ok? In any case - I factory reset the problem sensors and they still wont connect 😞 any ideas what is wrong? ... View more

Hello, I am looking to buy a bunch of antenna for meraki MR 76's but im a little confused as to which to get. I thought that one (sector?) was supposed to be more focused for longer range in a narrower field and the patch was more of a wider spread?   But when I look at the coverage patterns int he data sheets, it looks like there's not a lot of difference except maybe the 27 bleeds more signal backwards than the 25? https://meraki.cisco.com/lib/pdf/meraki_datasheet_antenna_dual_band_sector__9dBi_12dBi.pdf https://meraki.cisco.com/product-collateral/ma-ant-25-datasheet/?file The access points will be mounted maybe 10 meters ish high on the side of very large building sides in two scenarios. The first is to cover as much wide open space around the buildings as possible - so an ideal coverage would be 180 degrees and out as far as possible. The second is to throw the signal as far as possible in a particular direction to reach far corners of a yard. I assumed I'd need a mix of both antenna (not mixing on the same AP) but is there much difference? Looking at the patterns, I'm thinking the 27 sector is best for both situations? ... View more
