Provisioning and Registering Devices¶

Use Lantronix Provisioning Manager to register Lantronix devices for central management in Percepxion/ConsoleFlow. It also provisions older devices for compatibility with ConsoleFlow. Newer devices are shipped pre-provisioned and are able to be registered without additional provisioning. Older devices must be provisioned for compatibility.

Use Automatic Device Registration, which is recommended, to automatically provision and register devices in Percepxion/ConsoleFlow. An active Internet connection is required on the computer running Lantronix Provisioning Manager.

Use Manual Device Registration to provision and register devices in Percepxion/ConsoleFlow using a multi-step process. Manual Device Registration can be done on a computer running Lantronix Provisioning Manager without an active Internet connection in conjunction with another computer that does have Internet access.

In some cases, provisioning and registering a device may fail if the device is not first imported using Project Import.

Other devices do not support provisioning.

Before Registration¶

• Ensure the device credentials are set properly in Lantronix Provisioning Manager. See Important Information on Device Credentials for more information.
• Note that the Central Management Host server must be reachable from the computer running Lantronix Provisioning Manager and the device being registered.
• Ensure your Percepxion/ConsoleFlow account has permission to import devices.

Automatic Device Registration¶

Use Automatic Device Registration to provision and register devices quickly. This requires an Internet connection on the computer running Lantronix Provisioning Manager as well as a Percepxion/ConsoleFlow account.

To automatically provision and register devices:

1. Click Provision on the side menu.
2. Select one or more devices to update. They must all be the same type of device (for example, all SLB devices).
3. Click Central Management > Registration. If this isn't listed, the selected device doesn't support provisioning.
4. The radio button next to Automatic Device Registration ('preferred') is already selected. Click Next.
5. Provide your Percepxion/ConsoleFlow credentials in the Username, Password, Portal, and Organization fields. If these were provided in settings, they will be filled in automatically but can be edited.
   • Use the LocalAdmin checkbox to indicate if the provided Tenant Admin credentials are local or remote - if unchecked, the provided credentials are treated as remote admin credentials (LDAP, RADIUS, TACACS, SAML, etc.).
   • If you are using Percepxion/ConsoleFlow with LDAP, TACACS+, or SAML authentication, Lantronix Provisioning Manager will attempt to use the credentials with these authentication methods as well. No configuration is required.
6. Click Finish.
7. If SAML authentication is used, a login page will be displayed; enter the SAML login credentials.
   If two-factor authentication is required, you'll be prompted to choose a method to receive the one-time password (OTP). Select one, and click OK. In the confirmation window, click OK. Input the OTP and click Submit.

Check the Operation Status and Progress columns to see the progress of the provisioning and registering process.

Manual Device Registration¶

Use Manual Device Registration to provision and register your devices manually. This can be done without an active Internet connection on the computer running Lantronix Provisioning Manager. This process requires both Lantronix Provisioning Manager and a Percepxion/ConsoleFlow account.

Step 1 - Generate device list in Lantronix Provisioning Manager¶

To generate a device list in Lantronix Provisioning Manager:

1. Click Provision on the side menu.
2. Select one or more devices to update. They must all be the same type of device (for example, all SLB devices).
3. Click Central Management > Registration. If this isn't listed, the selected device doesn't support provisioning.
4. Select the radio button next to Manual Device Registration and click Next.
5. Lantronix Provisioning Manager generates a device list file (GeneratedDeviceFile.TDI) used for provisioning for the selected devices and stores it in the application directory. Click Finish to only obtain the device list. To continue with the Manual Device Registration process, click Continue.

Step 2 - Add devices in Percepxion/ConsoleFlow¶

To add devices in Percepxion/ConsoleFlow:

1. Log into Percepxion/ConsoleFlow. The user must have permission to import devices.
2. Add the devices using the device list. See the Percepxion/ConsoleFlow online User Guide for more information.
3. Percepxion/ConsoleFlow will attempt to add the devices.
   • If the devices have been provisioned, they will be added, and the Manual Device Registration process will be complete.
   • If one of more of the devices have not been provisioned, Percepxion/ConsoleFlow will display an error and generate a provisioning file (device.edi) that will be used to provision the device(s). Download the provisioning file and continue with the remaining process.

Step 3 - Provision devices in Lantronix Provisioning Manager¶

To provision devices in Lantronix Provisioning Manager:

1. Click Next in Lantronix Provisioning Manager.
2. Upload the provisioning file downloaded from Percepxion/ConsoleFlow.
3. Click Finish. A new device file (ending in .TDI) is generated in the application directory.

Step 4 - Add provisioned devices in Percepxion/ConsoleFlow¶

To add provisioned devices in Percepxion/ConsoleFlow:

1. Log into Percepxion/ConsoleFlow. The user must have permission to import devices.
2. Add the devices using the generated device file. See the Percepxion/ConsoleFlow online User Guide for more information.
