How to test backup internet at stores
PURPOSE This document explains how to test a store’s internet connection via Netgear LM1200. PROCESS Go to the IT rack and find the Meraki and the Netgear NOTE: Both are usually located on the top shelf Make sure the Netgear is connected to Meraki Firewall on port Internet 2. On the Meraki Firewall find the Cat 5 cable (usually a yellow cable) connected to Port Internet 1. Unplug it. Go to the manager’s PC and open the Command Prompt Search “Command Prompt” in the search bar by the Windows icon. In the Command Prompt window, type “ping 8.8.8.8 -t” and press “Enter”. This will generate “Request timed out” error messages. After getting the error messages, let the command run for about 10 minutes. The Netgear should start up automatically and a message similar to the one below should show. This confirms the backup internet is operational and a solid white LED light should be on the front of the Meraki Firewall Go back to the computer rack and plug the Cat 5 cable back into the Port Internet 1 on the Meraki Firewall. (Yellow Cable) Return to the manager’s PC and make sure you are still getting a reply in the command prompt. If you are, perform a Google search to confirm the store has internet (e.g., Google “Mister Car Wash”). If the reply in the command prompt still shows “Request timed out”, make sure the Cat 5 cable is plugged into the Port Internet 1 on the Meraki Firewall. If this doesn’t fix the issue, contact Mister IT. Close the Command Prompt app.

How to mount/install Meraki cellular gateway
PURPOSE Instruction guide for mounting the Meraki Cellular Gateway at a store. PROCESS What is the Meraki Cellular Gateway? It is NOT a WAP (Wireless Access Point); it will not provide any Wi-Fi coverage for phones or tablets. This is a cellular modem. This provides a backup internet connection. If primary internet isn’t installed, it is the lifeline for the store. Why does it need to be placed on the roof? Mainly to provide the best signal strength and quality. For best performance it needs a clear line of sight to the cell tower. This means the roof is the best location. Early attempts to place lower and less conspicuous placement locations have only resulted in internet speed issues. Before IT ARRIVES What needs to be up on the roof? 2 Network Cables 1 White shielded cat5e 1 Grey shielded cat5e How do we want it up there? Using the conduit in the tower, run it up through there and out the tower and to one of the 2 weatherheads. The other end will join all the other network cables in the IT closet. How much cable needs to be up on the roof? As much as needed to reach the optimal weatherhead locations. Which weatherhead does it need to run to? You can contact IT to help pre-determine which weatherhead has the best line of sight to the nearest cell tower. Weatherhead locations Red Lines = Network Cables After I.T. arrives An IT Technician will set up and install the SIM card in the gateway. After setup, the device will need to be mounted. Mounting Rules: No closer than 3’ from a section of metal siding or roof. The device will need to be above the side walls of the roof. MOUNTED Example (to show how high up the gateway needs to be above the roofline.)

How to mount/install Ruckus wireless access point
PURPOSE Wireless Access Point (WAP) placement is critical for tablet connectivity and performance. Tablets may respond slowly or lose connection if these guidelines are not followed. PROCESS Cat 6 cable run must be less than 300ft. Mount WAP between 8 and 16 feet from the ground. Mount WAP 18 inches away from all metal objects. Omni WAPs should be mounted horizontally to the ground NOTE: Omni WAPs will say “T610” or "T310D" behind it. Directional 120-degree or 30-degree WAPs should be mounted vertically to the ground and pointed in direction coverage is needed according to site survey, example shown below. NOTE: Directional WAPs will say “T310” on behind it. Mount WAP outdoors to maximize coverage for portable terminals and peripherals. Install WAP and network wiring away from electric noise, such as: Transformers Microwave Ovens Other Industrial Equipment Motor Control Systems 2.5 GHz Cordless Phones Heavy Duty Motors Refrigerators Fluorescent Lighting If possible, install the WAP within 5 feet of a good electrical ground. This allows the WAP to be grounded to prevent damage from a lightning strike. After the WAP has been mounted to the building the cable needs to be installed properly. Unscrew and remove the cap for the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Then take out the center piece to expose the Ethernet port. NOTE: This cap provides weatherproofing and should be retained.
