Meraki MT11-HW Cloud Managed Probe Sensor
Installation Guide
Overview
The Cisco Meraki MT11 is a cloud-managed temperature sensor that is
exceptionally simple to configure and deploy due to its integration with the
Meraki dashboard and the use of BLE technology. The MT11 is designed to be
deployed primarily in a cold storage environment alongside Meraki equipment
enabling the end-user to receive alerts from the device-specific to
temperature.

Installation Instructions
Note: Each MT11 comes with an instruction insert within the box. This
insert contains detailed step-by-step guides and images to assist in the
physical installation of the camera.
Note: During the first time setup, the MT11 will automatically update to
the latest stable firmware. Some features may be unavailable until this
automatic update is completed. This process may take up to 10 minutes due to
enabling of whole disk encryption.
LED Indicator
- Rainbow MT is initialing or looking for a gateway
- Solid Green (for “n” seconds) Connected to a gateway
- Solid Amber (for “n” seconds) MT could not find a gateway to connect
- Flashing Green MT is upgrading its firmware
- Flashing Amber MT is running on a low battery
To conserve battery life, the LEDs on the MT does not always remain “ON”
Wall Mount Hardware Setup
Bluetooth 5.0
The MT11 features Bluetooth 5.0 which allows the device to perform over long
distance with other Meraki networking devices to monitor the environment it
will be used in.
Power Option
The MT11 is powered by two AA batteries. The batteries are pre-installed and
the user will only need to take out the pull tab. The expected battery life
when used is estimated to be 5 years.
Pre-Install Preparation
You should complete the following steps before installing the MT11 in its
final location.
Configure your MT11 in the Networking using Dashboard
The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MT11 to
your network. For detailed instructions about creating, configuring, and
managing Meraki IoT networks, refer to the online documentation
https://documentation.meraki.com/MT)
- log in to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a new account.
- Find the network to which you plan to add your MT11(s) or create a new network.
- Add your MT11(s) to your new network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or the serial number of each camera, which looks like Qxxx-XXXX-XXXX and is found on the bottom of the unit.
- Verify that the sensor is now listed under IoT> Monitor > IoT.
Check and Configure Firewall Settings
If a firewall is in place, it must allow outgoing connections to particular
ports using a given IP address. The most current list of outbound ports and IP
addresses for your particular organization can be found here.
DNS Configuration
Each MT11 will generate a unique domain name to allow for secured direct
streaming functionality. The domain names resolve an A record for the private
IP address of the camera. Any public recursive DNS server will resolve this
domain.
If utilizing an onsite DNS server, please whitelist .devices.Meraki. direct
or configure a conditional forwarder at the local domains are not appended to
.devices.Meraki.direct and that these domain requests are forwarded to Google
public DNS.
Assigning IP Addresses
At this time, the MT11 does not support static IP assignments. MT11 units must
be added to a subnet that uses DHCP and has available DHCP addresses to
operate correctly.
