How Zero-Touch Provisioning Works With Navijin Cloud
Ship devices straight to site and let them configure themselves: claim by serial number, assign to a site, connect and verify.
Before you start
- A Navijin Cloud account
- Supported Navijin devices and their serial numbers
Step by step
Create the customer and site
In Navijin Cloud, create the customer and the site with its address.
Claim devices
Add each device by serial number in Zero-Touch Provisioning before it is installed.
Prepare the configuration
Assign templates or settings such as SSIDs and network profiles to the site.
Install on site
The installer only mounts the device and connects it to the Internet; no laptop needed.
Device connects
The device contacts Navijin Cloud over the Internet, is recognised by its serial number and receives its configuration.
Verify
Check the device is online in the dashboard, then review alarms and topology.
Pro tips
- Record serial numbers when devices arrive in the warehouse.
- Use device groups for consistent settings across branches.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to open ports at the site?
