Device Provisioning Workflow

Use Cases

• Provision devices using a hierarchical model (Entity -> Venue -> Subscriber) instead of manual per-device configuration
• Apply a standard configuration (WAN/LAN, DHCP/NAT, Wi-Fi SSIDs, services) across multiple devices
• Override configuration for a specific device while still inheriting defaults

Steps to Provision a Device

Step 1: Ensure Device is Available in Inventory

• Navigate to Inventory
• Verify the device exists
• If not present, add the device to Inventory

Step 2: Create or Verify Entity and Venue present.

• Create or select the required Entity.
• Create or select the Venue under that Entity.

Step 3: Assign Device to Entity and Venue

• Add the device to the correct Entity and Venue to inherit the appropriate configurations.

Step 4: Configure Entity and Venue Level Template

• Add configuration at Entity level if you want it inherited by all venues.
• Add configuration at Venue level if you want it applied only to that venue.
• Save the configuration template.

Step 5: Add Device-Specific Configuration

• In the device details page(via inventory), add Device-Specific Configuration essential for device rest configuration will inherit form Entity and Venue.
• Save the configuration for the device.

Step 6: Apply (Push) Configuration

• Open the Device Details page
• Review Computed Configuration (final merged configuration)
• Click Push Configuration

Step 7: Verify Provisioning Status

• Ensure the configuration is applied correctly on the device

Result

• The device receives configuration based on:
  • Entity-level template
  • Venue-level template
  • Device-specific overrides (if any)
• The device is fully provisioned and operational
