Register ThinOS 10.x devices with DHCP IPv4 and IPv6 option tags

Explains how to register ThinOS 10.x devices to WMS with IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP option tags for server, MQTT, certificate validation, and group registration. Register the devices by using the following DHCP option tags:

Table 1. Registering device with IPv4 DHCP option tagsYou can register the devices with the following IPv4 DHCP option tags:
Option Tag for IPv4	Option Tag for IPv6	Description
Name—WMS Data Type—String Code—201 Description—WMS Server FQDN	Name—WMS Data Type—String Code—16500 Description—WMS Server FQDN	This tag directs the device to the URL of the WMS server. For example, wmsserver.acme.com, where wmsserver.acme.com is the fully qualified domain name of the server hosting the WMS. NOTE:HTTPS:// is not required in the WMS URL.
Name—WMS Data Type—String Code—201 Description—Secure WMS Server	Name—WMS Data Type—String Code—20100 Description—Secure WMS Server	This tag directs the device to the WMS server.
Name—MQTT Data Type—String Code—166 Description—MQTT Server	Not applicable	This tag directs the device to the WMS Push Notification server (PNS). For a private cloud installation, the device gets directed to the MQTT service on the WMS server. For example, wmsservername.domain.com:1883. WDA automatically fetches the MQTT details when devices check in for the first time. NOTE:MQTT is optional for WMS 5.0 or later versions.
Name—CA Validation Data Type—String Code—167 Description—Certificate Authority Validation	Name—CA Validation Data Type—String Code—16700 Description—Certificate Authority Validation	You can enable or disable the CA validation option if you are registering your devices with WMS on private cloud. Enter True, if you have imported the SSL certificates from a well-known authority for https communication between the client and the WMS server. Enter False, if you have not imported the SSL certificates from a well-known authority for https communication between the client and the WMS server. NOTE:CA Validation is optional for WMS 5.0 or later versions. However, it is recommended to configure this option tag.
Name—Group Registration Key Data Type—String Code—199 Description—Group Registration Key	Name—Group Registration Key Data Type—String Code—19900 Description—Group Registration Key	The tag directs the device to retrieve the Group Registration Key for WMS. For example, in SCDA-DTOS10SalesGroup, the second part of the Group Registration Key must be 8-31 characters long and include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character. However, special characters such as \(backslash), "(double quotes), '(single quote) are not allowed. The Group Registration Key is case-sensitive. NOTE:The Group Token is optional when using WMS 5.0 on a premises-based server. However, due to a known issue, if the Group Token is not provided, the device may not be moved to an unmanaged group. Therefore, it is recommended to configure the Group Token to ensure proper device registration.
Name—Group Registration Key Data Type—String Code—202 Description—Secure Group Registration Key	Name—Group Registration Key Data Type—String Code—20200 Description—Secure Group Registration Key	The tag directs the device to retrieve the secure Group Registration Key for WMS.

NOTE:

If only IPv6 is available in your network and IPv4 is absent, the system requires approximately 5 minutes for the IPv4 DHCP to time out. After this timeout, the system automatically discovers WMS using IPv6 DHCP. To avoid this delay during each reboot, ensure that IPv4 is disabled in your WMS policy.
