Abstract: A secure and automated system can be used to provision devices with configuration information. A temporary connection can be used to access configuration information from a cloud server. A unique device ID can be provided to the cloud server and the configuration information downloaded to the device. For example, a wireless network ID and password can be downloaded to configure the device for a wireless network. This avoids the requirement for the configuration information to be directly input into the device.

Abstract: Configuration information can be associated with a device (and unique device ID) at a point of sale location. At the point of sale location, the device can be associated with a user's account in a cloud system via unique ID. Configuration information for the device can then be provided through the users associated cloud account to a device's cloud based provisioning and configuration account. When the device is powered up, the device can pull provisioning and/or configuration information from the associated cloud account which can be identified by the device's unique ID.
