  10. New Lexington City Schools & Apple Configurator

  11. Free from Apple Apple Configurator Mass configure and deploy iPads. Requirements: OS X 10.7.5 or later Prepare devices
• Configure multiple devices simultaneously
• Update devices to the latest version of iOS
• Create and restore a backup of settings and app data from one device to other devices
• Import apps into Apple Configurator and sync them to new devices
• Use the built-in editor to create and install iOS configuration profiles
• Enroll devices with your Mobile Device Management solution for remote management Supervise devices ( When supervised students can not connect to iTunes )
• Organize supervised devices into custom groups
• Automatically apply common configurations to supervised devices
• Quickly reapply a configuration to a supervised device and remove the previous user’s data
• Import apps into Apple Configurator and sync them to supervised devices
• Define and apply common or sequential names to all devices
• Restrict supervised devices from syncing with other computers The computer you use Configurator on - is the only computer you can use to manage.

  12. 1:1 Set Up – 600 iPads Using 3 Bretford sync trays (10 iPads each for a total of 30) and 1 MacBook with Apple Configurator – Using a “master image” I was able to setup 600 iPads in 1 week. I brought in students to put the cases on. They put 600 cases on in 3 days.

  13. System Manager • Cloud Based • 100% Free for any Network • No Maximum number of devices • Operates over SSL • Works on any vendor’s network • Email support – Phone support for Meraki Customers

  14. Deployment

  15. Profiles

  16. Settings

  17. iOS apps

  18. The Good and Bad.. The Good Apple Configurator • The cost – Free • Once figured out – it is easy to use • Wiping out devices is quick and easy. Meraki System Manager • The cost – Free • Easy to use • Cloud based – no equipment The Bad Apple Configurator You have to touch every device. Meraki System Manager • App Store • Sometimes we have problems with profiles communicating. • Locating Devices. – Based on Service Provider / ip location. Meraki says that they are about to release something similar to Find my iPad (iCloud) • Profile can be removed

  19. New Lexington City Schools & Cloud Managed Wireless 802.11n Wireless LAN

  20. Why did we choose Meraki ?? • We had no managed Wi-Fi in the district. (Several Apple Airports). • We were going to a grade 9-12 - 1:1 solution with iPads and needed a more robust wireless solution. • After looking at several vendors and talking with our ITC we thought price wise the Meraki was the best fit for us. • Because our ITC agreed to purchase the Meraki Access Points in bulk (offering all of their schools Meraki APs) they could drive the price down. • The #1 reason - the free MDM solution Meraki offers.

  21. Centralized Management • 100% Cloud Managed • Built for rapid building wide deployments • Simple centralized management, no training required • Wireless APs serve 100+ users each • No user limitations

  22. User Visibility • Control over users, devices, and application • Control Bandwidth • Locate clients • View auto-generated reports

  23. Intelligence: • Auto-Configuring mesh network • Multi-channel routing protocols • Self-healing networking with per-flow optimization

  24. Security & Role Bases Access: • Layer 7 traffic classification and control • Intrusion detection engine • Identity-based content filtering. • Device-aware firewall rules

  25. Ease of Deployment I hired North West Regional Systems out of Mansfield. They brought two people and we had the 33 APs installed and online in 2 school days. Literally took them out of the box and connected them to POE switches. I played with the Dashboard for a couple hours and had them all configured. Now I just tweak as needed. Now - if we add new APs we just plug them in and add them to our dashboard and we are finished. Currently we have: 3 SSIDs: Staff Students Guest (this is on a timer – we do not allow during the school day).

  26. Wireless Project Cost $625 per/AP/year for a 5 year license. 2 - HP 2520 24 Port POE Switches $2700 1 - 8 Port POE Switch $150 AP installation (North West Regional Systems) $2200 Totals: Year 1 $9175 (1 Year License Fee, APs, Switches, and Installation) Yearly License Fee: $4125 Original set up: New Lexington High School (33 MR16, 1 MR66) Additional APs this year New Lexington High School (35 MR16, 1 MR66) New Lexington Middle School (24 MR16)
