Registering the device

Registration creates the device record in Verifone Central - Device Management.

When a device contacts the server for the first time, it completes a key exchange. During that exchange, the server receives the device details needed to create the record.

If registration succeeds, the device status becomes Active.

Before you start

Confirm that:

  • the hierarchy includes the correct IP address range

  • the device is not pre-boarded

  • the device can contact the Device Management server

Auto-registration uses the device IP address to determine the root node for placement.

What is sent during registration

During auto-registration, the device sends:

  • serial number

  • customer ID

  • model

  • IP address

Auto-registration flow

Use this flow when the device registers on first contact.

1

1. Configure the hierarchy

Define the IP address range for the target hierarchy.

2

2. Confirm the device is not pre-boarded

Auto-registration requires the device record to be absent before first contact.

3

3. Let the device connect

When the device contacts the server, it performs a key exchange.

4

4. The server places the device

The server uses the reported IP address to determine the root node.

The device is then placed at that root node by default.

5

5. Verify the result

After successful registration, the device status becomes Active.

Result

The device is registered, placed under the root node, and ready for monitoring and lifecycle management.
