6. Enroll Devices into ArborXR
Launch ArborXR's Device Setup App and login with your ArborXR account. Once logged in, select the organization which you’d like to add the device(s) to.
💡If you’re provisioning via Configuration Package, do not log in. Please follow this guide on how to provision via Configuration Package.
Connect your device to the PC via USB-C.
💡 Use a USB hub to set up devices in bulk.
Enter a Title for the device (optional).
Select the checkbox for your device(s) then select the Set Up button.
Choose a Setup Method
Device Group - The device will be enrolled into an existing device group of your choice. Any settings configured to the group, including Wi-Fi, will be provisioned to the device via USB-C as part of the device setup. It is recommended to add Wi-Fi configuration(s) to the group ahead of device setup to automate the networking process. The group's apps and files will download and install to the device over Wi-Fi once the device comes online.
💡 Device Groups are a way to provision a defined set of apps, files, and settings to multiple devices at once. For more detailed information, please visit our Device Groups collection of articles.
Enroll Only - The device will be added to your ArborXR dashboard for management but no further actions will take place.
Click on the Set Up button.
Once the set up completes successfully, click the Manage Device button to be redirected to the ArborXR portal and to the device's overview page.
Troubleshooting Device Enrollment
When you see the status Pending ADB Authorization in the Device Setup app after accepting the prompts in VR, put on the headset again, the USB-C cable could have momentarily been jostled enough to break the connection and thus re-prompt the user.
