Initial Configuration

The Device Initialization Console automatically stores all devices at the Devices level in the Console’s navigation tree.

  1. It is recommended that you create additional device repositories in the Console so that you can logically organize the storage of your initialized and imported devices. For more information, see Managing Repositories.

  1. Initialize devices for the other Console users you will create. For more information, see Initialize a Device. You can also import pre-initialized devices for these Console users (see Import an Initialized Device).

  2. Create other Device Initialization Console Administrators, Device Managers, and Audit Managers as needed and assign them initialized devices. For more information, see Managing Console Users.

Important: For increased security, it is recommended that all Console users use authentication devices rather than static passwords to access the Console. So, at this point, you should create another Administrator user for yourself that uses an authentication device (rather than the static password of the initial Console Administrator). Then, log off of the Console and log back on as this new Administrator.

  1. Initialize devices as required for other users.

  2. Finally, export device credentials to your application in order to deploy devices to end users. See Export Initialized Devices.
