This app parses the MAC address and model number from the QR codes shipped on Cisco Catalyst APs. This app processes all data locally to supply an output. Currently, the only two models that will supply a photo are: -C9136I -C9105AXW-B Other models will still output the MAC address, there just won't be a model number readout or a photo. I plan to add more models as the app grows in users and popularity. You can find an email to submit suggestions in the help section of the app! Thanks for checking out my app!
