That is an additional step in Xnet after setting up the location. I was concerned that it would re-adopt my AP directly to Xnet, so good to see that is not the case.
Can I find the serial number of the AP in the Alta management portal?
From the devices tab, Shift + Click on the name of the device you need to get the serial number from. This brings up a console for that device in the web browser
Paste the following into the console y=$(hexdump -C /dev/mmcblk0p13 | grep -A1 AP6 | head -n 1 | cut -d \| -f2); z=$(hexdump -C /dev/mmcblk0p13 | grep -A1 AP6 | tail -n 1 | cut -d \| -f2); echo "$y$z" | tr -d '.'
Press Enter
The serial number is now printed on the next line
Repeat for any additional APs you want to add
Worth noting that this process to obtain serial numbers only works for APs, switches are a slightly different command but that won’t be needed in this context.
Can you please post the command to get the switch serial in the management portal as well @Alta-Matt_v2 ?
We’ve had the topic with the serials already:
Perfect. Now I have the serial number, but I’m getting an invalid serial number error on XNET. I’ve tried to remove the “AP6” portion and try a few other things, but it still isn’t accepting the serial. I also grabbed an AP off the shelf and tried to enter the serial number into XNET, that also failed.
I strongly feel that button should be removed all together. Let the owners of the site decide on their own who to use. It’s fine to advertise that Xnet sells you APs already set up and ready to go.
Yeah I tried to set it up and was unable to do so… I think I did what I was supposed to but never got any email or confirmation. I see people connecting to the XNET SSID, however without any clear way to know whats what I’m going to have to just disable it.
