Zero Touch Provisioning of APs
Zero Touch Provisioning eliminates the traditional method of deploying and maintaining
devices and allows you to provision new devices in your network automatically, without
manual intervention. Following are the zero-touch provisioning methods for SCALANCE W.
In order for zero-touch provisioning to be successful, the timezone of the AP must be in
synchronization with the NTP server.
Note
To facilitate zero-touch provisioning using the AirWave Management Platform (AMP), you
must configure the firewall and wired infrastructure to either allow the NTP traffic to
pool.ntp.org, or provide alternative NTP servers under DHCP options. For more information
on configuring an NTP server, see NTP-Server (Page 81).
