Generate an activation code for a device
You must activate devices that you add to Webex, and we provide activation codes to help you do that. You need a unique activation code for each device, which you can generate at any time from Control Hub.
Only specific roles have permission to generate activation codes. For more information, see Assign organization account roles in Control Hub.
If you're generating an activation code for an analog telephone adapter (ATA), you must configure all network settings before you activate the device.
After you activate the device, you can't access or change these network settings. VLAN, IP address, and subnet mask are examples of network settings.
