Step 2: Up and Running

Now that you've created your HPE Mist account, organization, and first site, you're ready to activate your subscriptions, enter your site information, and add administrators.

Activate Your Subscriptions

Before you begin: Decide which HPE Mist AI and Cloud Services you need, and then contact your HPE account team to purchase them. We'll email your activation code(s) to you. Now you're ready to activate your subscriptions.

  1. In the left menu, select Organization > Subscriptions.
    Navigating to the Subscriptions Page
  2. Click Apply Activation Code, near the top right corner of the subscriptions page.
    Apply Activation Code Button on Subscriptions Page
  3. Enter the code.
  4. Click Activate.
    Note:

    If you purchased multiple subscriptions and devices, you'll have one activation code for all of them. In this case, all the subscriptions will be activated and all the devices will be claimed into your organization.

Enter a Name and Location for Your First Site

Make the default site your own by giving it a descriptive name and entering your location information.
  1. In the left menu, select Organization > Site Configuration.
  2. Click anywhere in the row for Primary Site.
    Note:

    The default name Primary Site has no special significance. This site is simply your first site. You can name it whatever you choose and manage it in the same way that you manage other HPE Mist sites.
  3. Enter a descriptive Site Name.
  4. Select the correct Time Zone.
  5. Under Location, identify the exact location of the site.

    Options:

    • Enter the street address.

    • Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates.

    • Use the map to find your location:

      • To enter or exit full screen view, click the button in the top right corner.

      • To explore, drag across the map.

      • To see more or less detail, zoom in or out.

      • When you find your location on the map, click it.

  6. Click Save.
    Keep the default site settings for this initial setup process. You'll return to the site configuration when you configure Wi-Fi, Wired, or WAN Assurance. At that time, you can also create additional sites for each of your locations.

Add Administrator Accounts

You can add multiple administrator accounts with different levels of access, depending on the job duties of your team members.
  1. In the left menu, select Organization > Administrators.
  2. Click Invite Administrators.
  3. Enter the email address and contact information for the person that you want to invite.
  4. Read the on-screen role descriptions, and select the appropriate role for this admin.
  5. Under Site Access, keep the default setting of All Sites, or assign a specific site.
    To assign a specific site:
    1. Click Specific Sites.
    2. Click the plus (+) button.
    3. Click the site(s).
  6. Click Invite (near the top right corner of the page).
