Creating a Network on Network Manager Overview: what we’re doing This guide is intended to help you set up your first cloud-managed wireless mesh network with Datto Network Manager. Network Manager is a cloud-based network controller that makes it easy for anyone to build, manage, and monitor wireless networks from anywhere in the world. This guide will assist you in setting up a new network on the Datto Network Manager web application.
This guide is not intended to cover every aspect of Network Manager. To learn more about planning your network, view the Datto Knowledge Base (kb.datto.com) What you’ll need To set up your network, you’ll need the following: 1. One or more Datto Network Manager-compatible wireless devices, such as the AP840 or AP840E 2. An Internet connection with at least one Ethernet port available on your modem or router 3. one Ethernet cable and either a 802.3at POE source or a 48V DC Power Supply 4.
Step 1: Log into the Datto Partner Portal(datto.com) and Navigate to the Network Status Page Then Select to Add Device, as shown in the Diagram below in the top right corner of the screen You will now be automatically redirected to the Datto Networking Manager webpage, as seen below below: Now you may create new network to add this device to, or navigate to the network you would like to add this device to. For this guide we will be setting up a new Network.
Step 2: Create a new network You’ll automatically be taken to a page, similar to the one below, to create your first network. Fill in the following information: Network name: This is the name you want to give this specific network. You will use this name to make changes to the network, display reports, etc. Password: This is the password for local administrators and should be different from your master account login. This limits access and prevents users from making changes to your network.
Network Location: Enter a street address for the first access point. To add access points, you will be shown a map that you click on to place access points. By entering an address here, you will be centered on the correct location for your network. Email for Notifications: Enter the email addresses, separated by spaces, for all people you’d like to receive “outage” notifications. These are sent hourly. When finished, click “Create” to save your new network settings.
Fill in the following information: Name: Enter a name for this access point. This name is used to reference its location and will be displayed in reports. It does not affect users. MAC address: A MAC address is a sequence of 12 numbers and the letters A-F often separated by colons (Eg: 00:02:6F:8A:B2:6E). This can be found on a label on the bottom of the router and on the side of the product box. Description: You can enter optional descriptive text that will be shown on the reports.
For both of these options, your access points will be added to the map based on your network location (similar to how the Datto Networking iOS and Android apps add access points). You can reposition these access points on the map after adding them. When adding by CSV, the CSV file must be in a specific format. You can download a sample CSV file here. Step 4: Install the access points Once your access points are added to Network Manager, it’s time to install them.
Ethernet or Junction Box Mount This access point can be mounted to any junction box for secure installations in hotel and resort guest rooms, dorms, care facilities and more. (1) Mount flat side of plate to junction box. (2) Connect included slim 2 cable from and power cable if no PoE 2.5G Ethernet port 1, 802.3at PoE Or DC Power (2) Connect included slim Ethernet cable to connection in wall. 4) Slide device down plate to lock in place.
