Methods and systems of service area based network device configuration

A cloud server, the cloud server comprising:

• a processor for executing executable instructions stored in memory, the executable instructions comprising:
• a customer information portal configured to generate a user interface to obtain user input information regarding service area configuration in a floor plan of a customer site, wherein the user input information specifies that each service area in the floor plan of the customer site has a unique corresponding wireless service set identifier (SSID);
• and
• a device deployment module connected to the customer information portal, wherein the device deployment module is configured to:
• receive location information of a network device at the customer site;
• automatically determine service area specific configuration of the network device based on the service area configuration in the floor plan of the customer site and the location information of the network device;
• and
• transmit the service area specific configuration to the network device.

A method of network device configuration, the method comprising:

• presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) to a user, wherein the GUI comprises a floor plan of a customer site;
• receiving input information on the GUI from the user that creates a plurality of service areas on a floor in the floor plan of the customer site, wherein the input information specifies that each service area on the floor in the floor plan of the customer site has a unique corresponding wireless service set identifier (SSID);
• and
• receiving network service configuration of the service areas on the GUI from the user.
