Cisco Meraki

In this section, there exists Cisco Meraki MR18 series configuration sample. It may differ depending on the firmware version. This document was created according to the Cisco Meraki MR18 device.

SSID Setting​

If you don't have a SSID, you need to setup one first.

To create a new SSID go to "Wireless > SSIDs", choose an unconfigured SSID, rename (e.g.: "Wirofy") and enable it:

Now you need to setup the SSID Access control and Splash page. The next steps explain each of them.

Configuring the Access Control​

To configure the SSID Access Control, go to "Wireless > Access control", select the SSID previously created or your own SSID and apply the following settings:

Network Access​

  • Association requirements: Open (no encryption)
  • Splash page: Sign-on with my RADIUS server

RADIUS Setting​

Before entering the settings here, the information specified for the device should be noted on panel.wirofy.com. Click here to view the document.

RADIUS Authentication On "RADIUS for splash page", click in "Add a Server" and fill with the following info:

  • Host: panel.wirofy.com -> RADIUS Authentication IP
  • Port: panel.wirofy.com -> RADIUS Authentication Port
  • Secret: panel.wirofy.com -> Shared Secret

RADIUS Accounting On "RADIUS accounting", select "RADIUS accounting is enabled". On "RADIUS accounting servers", click in "Add a Server" and fill with the following info:
