Zero-Touch Setup Using Mobilize
Xirrus Arrays and Access Points feature zero-touch setup. The license, software
image, and configuration are all automatically downloaded to an Array after it is
deployed. This occurs as soon as a new, unlicensed Array has been installed and
connected to a network with DHCP and Internet access.
After booting, the Array contacts the Xirrus Mobilize cloud service with its serial
number and MAC address. Mobilize sends commands to the Array to download
and update the appropriate license, software image, and configuration, and then
reboots the Array. Mobilize service is included at no charge with the purchase of
every Xirrus wireless device. Note that every unlicensed Array obtains its license
in this way. You have the option of whether or not to use Mobilize to update your
software image and download initial configuration.
The initial Array configuration sets items such as the SSIDs, encryption and
authentication, and SNMP settings. Use the Mobilize service to specify these

If you are a Xirrus Cloud customer or if this Access Point is part of an XMS
“profile” managed network, your Access Points are completely managed by
XMS, and you will not be able to access CLI or the Web Management
Interface under normal operating circumstances. In these cases, wait five
minutes after powering up the Array or Access Point, then use XMS to
view/manage this unit.

Note that the Array/AP must already be running ArrayOS release 6.5 or
above to support Mobilize access. Without Mobilize, Arrays and APs will
still obtain their licenses automatically.
