About creating devices

Creating devices in Device Manager lets you register the devices you have in order to connect them to your IoT network.

Using a LoRaWAN® or a cellular model created by your operator, you can create respectively LoRaWAN® or cellular devices, either one by one or by mass importation.

To work properly, a LoRaWAN® or a cellular device also needs to be associated with:

  • A connectivity plan you have subscribed

  • An AS routing profile containing one or more destinations, that can be different types of application servers.

Tip In Device Manager, you can create devices before or after creating a destination and an AS routing profile. If you want to create and provision a device in one step less, create first the destination and the AS routing profile by following the guidelines given in Managing local application servers and Managing AS routing profiles. Then, go back to Creating devices.
