Claim and Assign Devices to a Site Using the Mist AI Mobile App

You can use the Mist AI mobile app to quickly onboard and assign a switch, an access point, a WAN Edge, or a Mist Edge to a site.

To onboard a device using the Mist AI mobile app:

1. Open the Mist AI app and log in using your account credentials.
2. Select your organization.

3. Claim the device. You can claim devices in several ways:

   • On the homepage, tap Claim Devices to Org. The device is only claimed and you'll need to manually assign the device to a site.

     

   • On the Device Inventory page, select the appropriate device tab (Switch, AP, WAN Edge, or Mist Edge), and tap + in the top right corner. The device is only claimed and you'll need to manually assign the device to a site.

     

   • On the Site page, select the appropriate device tab (Switch, AP, WAN Edge, or Mist Edge), and tap + in the top right corner. In this case, the device is claimed and assigned to the site.

     

4. Locate the QR code on the device.
5. Focus the camera on the QR code. Alternatively, you can enter the claim code manually.

   The app automatically claims the device and you'll see the new device listed under the respective tab.

Assign a Device to a Site

Assigning a device to a site is simple and quick in the app. The Device Inventory page provides the list of assigned and unassigned devices in an organization. You can select the unassigned devices, tap Assign, and select the site to which the devices need to be assigned.

To unassign a device from a site, select the device from the Assigned tab, and tap Unassign.

You can also assign a device to a site or unassign a device from a site on the Sites page.
