Onboarding & Assigning zTC Devices

Summary

Import or manually add zTC endpoints into zMAN, then assign them to a registered zDM Server for provisioning. Once assigned, devices appear under Active Clients for further configuration.

Prerequisites

• At least one zDM Server in **Registered zDM**
• CSV file of zTC_IDs (MAC), plus optional location, latitude, longitude

Importing Multiple zTCs

1. In zMAN UI, go to **zTC Clients → Import zTC**.
2. Download the sample CSV; populate each row with:
   • ZTC_ID: LAN MAC address
   • Location: site name (optional)
   • Latitude/Longitude: geographic coordinates (optional)
3. Upload the filled CSV.
   • Devices without location data appear under the **Unassigned** tab.
   • Successful imports list under **Unassigned** until assignment :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.

Adding a Single zTC

1. Navigate to **zTC Clients → Add Thin Client**.
2. Enter the device’s ZTC_ID (MAC) and optional metadata; click **Add**.

Assigning to zDM

1. Under **zTC Clients → Unassigned**, select one or multiple devices.
2. Click **Actions → Assign zDM Server**, then choose the target zDM entry.
3. Upon successful provisioning, devices move to the **Assigned** tab :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}.

Provisioning Methods

• Auto provisioning (DHCP-based):
  Add DHCP Option with Management Portal URL and Access Key on your DHCP server; zTC auto-requests provisioning on boot :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}.
• Manual provisioning:
  On the zTC, open **Management Server Configurator**, select Manual, and paste the zMAN **Provision URL** (e.g. https://<zMan-IP>/zman-tenant/) and **Provision Key** (found under **Server Configuration → API Access Key**) :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}.

Post-Provisioning

• Provisioned devices appear under **zTC Clients → Registered**; from here, apply profiles, settings, firmware, and power actions.
• If a provisioned device goes offline, tasks defer until it reconnects, then resume automatically :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}.
