Connecting the solution to the cloud begins by associating the Border Router with your Remote Manager account. To facilitate this task, you can store your account credentials in XBee Studio first. These credentials allow the Border Router to authenticate with Digi cloud services and prepare it for provisioning:

  1. Open the the Remote Management page by clicking the cloud icon in the left sidebar of the application.

  2. Click on the Manage Accounts button. The Manage Accounts page appears.

  3. Select Digi Remote Manager in the Add account combo-box on the right side of the page.

  4. Fill in the Username and Password fields to add your account.

  5. Click Add to store the account credentials in XBee Studio for further usage.

Once done, the Border Router can be registered in Digi Remote Manager using the Remote Manager Registration quick action. This process securely provisions the device in Remote Manager and enables cloud-based communication. To register the XBee Hive for Wi-SUN device:

  1. Open the device tab in XBee Studio by selecting your XBee Hive for Wi-SUN. The device tab opens, displaying the Dashboard page.

  2. Click the Remote Manager Registration quick action.

  3. Select the account from the list.

  4. If Device default password field appears, enter the default password of the XBee Hive for Wi-SUN device.

    The default password is printed on the label attached to the device.

  5. Click Register.

After completing the process, the device is automatically registered and becomes visible in your Digi Remote Manager account.

You do not need to register XBee for Wi-SUN nodes manually. As soon as the XBee Hive for Wi-SUN connects to the cloud, Remote Manager automatically registers every XBee for Wi-SUN node joining the network through it. Each node appears in the Devices list alongside the border router. From that point, you can manage each node individually for operations such as configuration changes and firmware updates.

Bridge mode enables this automatic registration. It is on by default on every XBee Hive for Wi-SUN. See Configure remote management for XBee nodes.
