7.1. Software and hardware prerequisites
To access the Configurator graphical user interface (GUI) and use the
Configurator to program the Cisco FM4200 Mobi, you need the following:
• A desktop, laptop or tablet computer equipped with:
• Any current web browser. For a list of compatible web
browsers, refer to the Supported web browsers table in
“Using the Fluidmesh Partner Portal” (page 43).
• Any Microsoft Windows, Mac OS or Linux operating system.
• An integrated Ethernet port.
• A CAT5/6 Ethernet cable with an RJ45 connector at one end, and
an M12X connector at the other end.
7.2. Accessing the Cisco FM4200 Mobi for device
configuration
Before the unit can be made part of a wireless network, it must be
configured.
The on-board Configurator can be used to configure a Fluidmesh device
in either of two ways:
• By connecting a control device directly to the Fluidmesh device
using an Ethernet cable (Local access)
