Activating Subscribers on ThingPark Activation
As a Network Operator, the onboarding of the Subscriber must also allow the onboarding onto the ThingPark Activation platform.
Network Operator may use two options:
- Allow a simple and unified user experience for her/his Subscriber and integrate the Operator portal with ThingPark Activation API.
- Differentiate this additional service and provide a dedicated ThingPark Activation account to her/his Subscriber.
Using Key Manager APIs for MNO integration
Using an Operator account or a dedicated Subscriber account, the Operator portal can perform OSS API in order to commission the Device in ThingPark Activation.
OSS API integration
ASTK can be created with OSS API using:
POST /kmSubscriptions/{kmSubscription}/asKeys
For Operators integrated with OSS API, the Device can be claimed on ThingPark Activation using:
POST /kmSubscriptions/{kmSubscription}/devices/claim
And updated using:
POST /kmSubscriptions/{kmSubscription}/devices/{device}
With parameters
- asKey: ASTK
- homeNsNetID
- hsmGroupID
Check the Tutorial for OSS API example.
Using Key Manager UI
The Network Operator can also expose the ThingPark Wireless Key Manager User Interface to the Subscribers with a ThingPark Activation account.
Once logged in, the Subscriber can create new ASTK using AS Keys Create menu.
It can then Claim Device ownership using Claim in the Devices’ menu, then input the DevEUI and ownerToken that were transmitted out-of-band.
Finally, ASTK and hNS NetId are associated with the Device in the Device edition.
