  1. Download and install ArborXR's Device Setup App.

    • For steps on how to download and install the Device Setup App, see this article.

  2. Toggle on USB debugging on the device by navigating to Settings > Advanced > Developer Options > USB Debugging.

  3. Connect your device to the PC via USB-C.


    💡 Use a USB hub to set up devices in bulk.


  4. Put on the device and within VR you will see two options: (1) File Transfer and (2) Take no action. Select File Transfer.

  5. Take off the headset and 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.


  6. Enter a Title for the device (optional).

  7. Select the checkbox for your device(s) then select the Set Up button.

  8. Choose a Setup Method

    1. 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 onli


      💡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.


    2. Enroll Only - The device will be added to your ArborXR dashboard for management but no further actions will take place.
