Discovering Devices¶

Lantronix Provisioning Manager automatically discovers devices of the type(s) selected at the device type selection screen. It discovers devices only on the same subnet as the computer running Lantronix Provisioning Manager or in the IP range configured in Network Settings. Lantronix Provisioning Manager discovers devices by network interface. If a device has two network interfaces connected, Lantronix Provisioning Manager will list it twice.

To discover devices:

1. On the side menu, click Provision.
2. At the top, click the Discover Devices button .
3. If provisioning has been configured in Settings and two-factor authentication has been enabled in ConsoleFlow, you will be prompted to choose a method of receiving a one-time password (OTP). Select either SMS or Email, and then click OK.
   
   Enter the one-time password (OTP) that you were sent, and then click Submit.
   

After a device is discovered, its Operation Status will be Updating Device Info while Lantronix Provisioning Manager obtains device information. A device's name, firmware version, serial number, IP address, and MAC address will be displayed.

If Lantronix Provisioning Manager does not find a device, you may want to change the Timeouts and Retries configuration and ensure the appropriate IP range is configured in Network Settings if the device is not on the same subnet as the computer running Lantronix Provisioning Manager. If you do not know the device's subnet, contact your network administrator.

Device Attributes¶

The Devices page shows the following information:

Attribute	Description
Name	This is the name of the device.
Firmware Version	This is the firmware installed in the device. For devices with two firmware banks, the firmware in each bank will be listed with the firmware in the active bank bold.
Serial Number	This is the serial number of the device.
IP	This is the IP address of the device.
MAC	This is the MAC address of the device.
Operation Status	This is the status of the operation being performed. It is only present when Lantronix Provisioning Manager is performing an action with that device.
Progress	This is a progress bar showing the progression of the operation being performed. It is only present when Lantronix Provisioning Manager is performing an action with that device.
Device Menu	Click the dot menu to view a menu of supplemental actions that can be performed on that device. Not all actions can always be performed. View Log - Displays the log for the specified device. Enter Credentials - Click Enter Credentials to set the device's specific credentials. This will not be saved when Lantronix Provisioning Manager is closed. See Important Information on Device Credentials for more information. Connect - Attempts to connect to the device if the connection was lost. Get Device Info - Displays the device name, serial number, extended firmware version, device description, and device ID.

Important Information on Device Credentials¶

Device credentials can be provided either in a Credentials File (in .CSV or .TDI format) or in Global Credentials in settings. The credentials file can be used to provide credentials for multiple devices when each device has unique credentials. Global Credentials can be used to use the same credentials for multiple devices.

When Lantronix Provisioning Manager attempts to log in to a device, it first checks the credentials file. If Lantronix Provisioning Manager fails to authenticate using the credentials in the credentials file or if a device isn't listed in the credentials file, it will use the credentials specified in Global Credentials.

By default, a device password is the last 8 characters of the Device ID (for devices manufactured after January 1, 2020) or is a model-specific password, such as "PASS" (for all older devices). If authentication fails with Global Credentials, the model-specific default credentials will be used.

If none of these methods work, Lantronix Provisioning Manager will attempt to authenticate using the last 8 characters of the Device ID as the password. It will connect to ConsoleFlow to get the Device ID.

Order of precedence:

1. Credentials file (.CSV or .TDI)
2. Global Credentials
3. Model default credentials
4. Last 8 characters of the Device ID

If authentication fails with all these methods, an error is shown under Operation Status for the relevant device. To resolve the error, click the menu button next to that device and click Device Credentials to set credentials for that specific device. Device-specific credentials are not saved.
