Add Device to Inventory – Configuration Guide (Pronto Cloud)
Overview
The Add Inventory page is used to register and onboard new devices into the Pronto Cloud Controller.
A device must be added to Inventory first before it can be:
Managed
Configured
Monitored
Assigned policies and SSIDs
Once added, the device becomes part of the selected network and will automatically receive network configurations.

Go to:
Configure → Add Inventory
Add Inventory Form (Main Section)
This section allows administrators to add one or multiple devices into the cloud inventory.
Field Description

This helps the controller apply the correct configuration templates and compatibility settings.
Device(s)

Multiple devices can be added
Ways to add multiple entries:
Press Enter after each MAC

Each MAC address is validated before submission.
