Using the Smartphone App
You must use Cisco’s Digital Building — Installer smartphone app to configure your switch. When your switch arrives, it is in standalone mode by default. This app allows you to perform the initial setup.
When the initial setup is complete, the switch is connected to the network and is ready for day-to-day usage. The network administrator must now move the switch to network mode. This will disable Bluetooth.
Here are some of the features of the app when the switch is in standalone mode:
-
Connect to the switch from your smartphone, either via Bluetooth or a wired connection.
-
View details of the switch, such as MAC Address, software image version, and operating temperature.
-
Change the switch's name and password.
-
Turn on or off (make available or unavailable) each downlink port on a switch. This will enable or disable endpoints connected to those ports.
-
View the details of each endpoint connected to the ports.
-
Update the switch's firmware image with a new version.
-
Install a pre-defined or modified configuration template on the switch.
-
Back up the switch's firmware image to the smartphone.
-
Generate a report for the switch and send via email to a recipient.
