Add the access points to Social WiFi panel

The last step is to add all access points to the Social WiFi platform.

Go to Manage->Devices in the menu on the left. We need to display the MAC address for each device. In order to do that:

  1. Select the device
  2. Go to ACTIONS
  3. Go to Advanced
  4. Open the CLI Access

Now, type in the “show interface” command and press APPLY. Scroll down and find your SSID name, then copy the MAC address associated with it and add it to the Social WiFi Panel.
