About Wi-Fi Staging

You can use the Honeywell Wi-Fi Staging app to quickly set up new devices by
configuring one device and using it to stage others. Wi-Fi Staging can also be used
to enroll devices in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system by connecting
units to a defined network and downloading and installing the MDM client app.
Once you have set up a configuration in the Wi-Fi Staging app on the server device,
Wi-Fi staging uses that device as a hotspot and waits for a client to connection. The
configuration is distributed to the client device once communication is established
between the client and the server device.

Staging Devices

Wi-Fi Staging requires two steps:
1. Set up a master device to act as a server (see next section).
2. Set up the client device (see
Set Up a Device as a Server
Wi-Fi Staging provides two kinds of configurations for a master device acting as a
server through a hotspot. Setup of the server device differs based on the staging
configuration chosen:
•
•
The hotspot on the server device will be named HONEYWELL_WIFI_STAGING.
Note: We recommend setting up the server before setting up clients. If the server is not
created in advance, client setup requires more time and power to scan and search for
the hotspot signal.
Note: To control bandwidth usage, the server side of Wi-Fi Staging has a maximum
limitation of 10 concurrent client connections. If more than 10 client devices attempt
to connect to the server device at the same time, staging of some of those clients will
be delayed until client connections become available as the staging process
progresses.
