Generating an 8–digit or 12-digit numeric enrollment code

Last Updated : Jun 01, 2022 |

About this task

The numbers in an 8-digit or 12-digit numeric enrollment code are random, and this type of enrollment code can have an expiry date. An 8-digit or 12-digit numeric enrollment code is more secure than a 12-digit provisioning enrollment code.

Before you begin

Ensure that a profile is associated with the site for which you are creating the enrollment code.

Procedure

  1. On the Device Enrollment Services web portal, navigate to Company Accounts > Site Management > By EC.
  2. Select a site from the list.
  3. To change the associated profile and phone group, do the following:
    1. On the Site tab, click the More icon and then click Edit.
    2. Update the required fields.
    3. Optional If the profile contains multiple provisioning URLs, in the Provisioning URL list, select the appropriate provisioning URL.
    4. Click the Commit icon to apply the changes.
  4. Click Generate.

    The Numeric Enrollment Code Setting dialog box is displayed. The Name field is populated automatically.

  5. In the NEC Length field, select from two numeric enrollment code length options:

    • 8 Digits

    • 12 Digits

  6. In the Total Devices To Be Enrolled field, enter the number of devices to be configured using the code.

    When you reach the total, no more devices can be enrolled using this enrollment code.

  7. In the Expiry Type field, select one of the following:

    • Hour(s) (1–72)

    • Day(s) (1–90)

    • Week(s) (1–12)

    • Month(s) (1–3)

    • Never Expire

  8. In the Expiry Time Limit field, enter a number.

    For example, if you enter 2 and you select Week(s) (1–12) in the previous step, then the expiry time for the enrollment code is set to 2 weeks. The maximum expiry limit is 3 months.

    This step is not applicable if you select Never Expire in the previous step.

  9. Click Submit.

Result

Devices can now be configured using the generated enrollment code.
