Onboarding Examples
This section provides the following topics:
Onboarding Existing Networks
Existing networks can be onboarded by setting Cambium ID on already-deployed devices over SNMP (see the section on Device-Specific Onboarding for details on the OID). These devices will contact Cambium Cloud and be mapped to the corresponding Cloud Management. To complete onboarding, the administrator should navigate to the Onboarding Queue and approve all devices.
Onboarding New Devices
New devices are onboarded either using Cambium ID (which is a requirement for serial numbers less than 12 characters in length) or through the Serial Number.
