Introduction

The Cisco Business Mobile Application gives you the ability to deploy your Cisco Business switches and wireless access points onto your network and manage their infrastructure from a mobile device.

Prerequisites

At the time of app launch, the app will only work to set up the switches and mesh wireless devices from scratch. This means they need to be either new, out of the box or reset to factory settings.

If you need to perform a factory reset, you can simply press and hold the reset button on the device for 15 to 20 seconds. If you would like more detailed instructions, click on the following links:
