You can register a Cisco device to Cisco Webex remotely, so you don’t need to be in the same room as the device. You can do this either through the API or the local web interface, instead of using the on-screen setup assistant.
To register a device, you need to create an activation code in Control Hub first. To learn how to create an activation code, see Add Shared Devices and Services to a Workspace .
From the local web interface, you can only register a device that has not been previously registered.
 | If the device has not been registered before or it has been factory reset, you must set up the time zone and language settings from the wizard. If the wizard times out, default settings will be applied. |
Limitations
Some of the configurations, commands, and statuses that are available in the API only apply to on-premises registered devices. They don’t apply to Webex registered devices. In the API guide's Supported Commands Matrix, these items are marked with “On-prem only”.
Among the non-applicable configurations, commands and statuses, are all those related to H.323, H.320, SIP, NTP, CUCM, LDAP, Proximity, and Far End Camera Control.
We recommend you not to program against API commands in these categories.

From the local web interface
To register a device, you need to create an activation code on Control Hub first.
Open a web browser. Enter the IP address of the device in the address bar and sign in to the web interface When the device is new, or has been factory reset, the user name is admin and the password is blank.
If the device is not registered, you can click the Click here to register to Webex... button. A pop-up appears and you can enter the activation code that you have created on Control Hub.
