Hi, we have a Aruba WiFi with Smoothwall as the Firewall. Student/Staff use their active directory username and password to connect to the college WiFi. We have bought 20 IPads which can be borrowed by the Staff/Students. I am looking to manage it via Meraki Systems Manager and I have already got user credentials to logon to the Meraki Systems Manager. We also have Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP). so where do I start ? I guess I need to first connect them to the College WiFi ? Do you all use standard credentials for all the IPads to connect to the WiFi ? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
