Activate a Device

If the automatic activation of a site is disabled, you must manually activate the device that is associated with the site. Use the following procedures (as applicable) to manually activate CPE devices, enterprise hub devices, and cloud spoke devices.

To activate dual-CPE devices, see Activating Dual CPE Devices (Device Redundancy).

Note:

You can manually activate a device only when:

  • The status of the site (with which the device is associated) is Configured.

  • The management status of the device is Device_Detected or Device_Connected.

  1. Do one of the following:

      1. Select Resources > Devices.

        The Devices page appears.

      2. Select the device that you want to activate and click Activate Device.

        The Activate Device page appears. The Activate Device page consists of the Device Information and Device Activation tabs. Proceed to step 2.

    The activation code that you enter must match the activation code that is provided during the site addition workflow.

  3. Click Next.

    The Device Activation tab appears displaying the progress of the device activation.

  4. After the device is activated, click OK.

    The Sites page appears. If the device is successfully activated, the Management Status of the device and site changes to MANAGED. The status of the device and site changes to PROVISIONED only after the Security or SD-WAN service is applied.

Manually Activate a Device That Does Not Support Phone-Home Client

If the device does not support the phone-home client, you must push the stage-1 configuration to the device manually from the Devices page and then manually activate the device.

To push the stage-1 configuration manually:
