Configure your Dashboard Network

The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an Z4C to your network. For detailed instructions, please Contact Us.

1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a new account.
2. Find the network to which you plan to add your Z4C or create a new network.
3. Add your Z4C to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or the serial number of each Z4C, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit. If a license key was purchased at the same time then you should have received it via email.
4. Go to the map / floor plan view and place each Z4C on the map by clicking and dragging it to the location where you plan to mount it.
