Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus that registers and configures mesh node devices to operate as part of a wireless mesh network as part of a process that may be referred to as an onboarding process that streamlines. Such an onboarding process may store registration information and configuration information in a database at a computer in the cloud or that is accessible via the Internet. This stored information may be used to easily create or expand a wireless mesh network. This registration information may be cross-referenced with a profile associated with a network configuration, with a customer license, and with an identifier that identifies a wireless mesh network. Profiles consistent with the present disclosure may identify configuration preferences of a wireless mesh network and may identify software components that may be installed at particular mesh nodes when mesh node devices are added to a wireless mesh network.
