Advanced device registration

Note

To register any device with our easy registration method using a claim code, visit: Register my device

This article provides an overview of advanced device registration options that we offer, ideal for bulk or offline registration:

  • Registering a device locally - This option is ideal for users on closed on-premises network environments with no access to the Appspace Public Cloud. You can only register one device at a time.

  • Registering a device using a local policy file - Users on devices with USB or SD cards, may utilize this method if they would like to register their device with local policies in place. You can only register one device at a time.

  • Registering a device using a network policy file on the network – This method is ideal for bulk registering all devices in your local network. However, you will need a network administrator to configure the DNS server entries for your network.

  • Registering a device with Google CDM – This method is specifically for Chrome users utilizing Google CDM (Chrome Device Management). Once you have CDM configured, the network policy file in place will automatically register in bulk all Chrome devices in your network.

  • Registering a device with a serial number - This method is ideal for bulk registering specific devices in your local network. However, this method is only limited to devices that embed serial numbers to the device fingerprint.

  • Preregistering a device - This method pre-registers devices by first creating a device record in the console, allowing customers and third-party integrators to stream and display Appspace channels on non-standard devices via a HTML5 compatible browser.
