Abstract
A computing device may receive, based on a scan of a bar code associated with a device, information associated with the bar code. The information may be used to retrieve a dedicated activation service set identifier (SSID), which may be sent to one or more gateways. A first gateway may indicate that it is connected to the device using the dedicated activation SSID, and the device may be connected to the first gateway using a specific SSID that is different from the dedicated activation SSID.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device and based on a scan of a bar code associated with a device, first information associated with the bar code;
- retrieving, based on the first information, a dedicated activation service set identifier (SSID);
- sending, to one or more gateways, the dedicated activation SSID;
- receiving, from a first gateway of the one or more gateways, second information indicating that the device is connected to the first gateway using the dedicated activation SSID;
- and
- causing, after receiving the second information, the device to connect to a target gateway using a specific SSID that is different from the dedicated activation SSID.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- receiving, based on a scan of a bar code associated with a device, first information associated with the bar code;
- retrieving, based on the first information, a dedicated activation service set identifier (SSID);
- sending, to one or more gateways, the dedicated activation SSID;
- receiving, from a first gateway of the one or more gateways, second information indicating that the device is connected to the first gateway using the dedicated activation SSID;
- and
- causing, after receiving the second information, the device to connect to a target gateway using a specific SSID that is different from the dedicated activation SSID.
A system comprising:
- one or more gateways configured to receive a dedicated activation service set identifier (SSID);
- and
- a computing device configured to:
- receive, based on a scan of a bar code associated with a device, first information associated with the bar code;
- retrieve, based on the first information, the dedicated activation SSID;
- send, to the one or more gateways, the dedicated activation SSID;
- receive, from a first gateway of the one or more gateways, second information indicating that the device is connected to the first gateway using the dedicated activation SSID;
- and
- cause, after receiving the second information, the device to connect to a target gateway using a specific SSID that is different from the dedicated activation SSID.
