Provisioning Docking Station Devices

The following procedure is focused on bulk onboard of HP Docking Station devices to be managed by the Model Policies in the Poly Lens cloud.
To onboard a single, or a few HP Docking Station devices into Poly Lens see PIN Code Onboarding for HP Docking Devices.

Onboard HP Docking Station Devices via the DHCP Auto Discovery

You can use DHCP to automatically register your Docking Station devices to a provisioning server, before initial system setup during unpacking and out of boxing, or after a system reset.

1. You must be logged into Poly Lens, and have created an account.
2. Device Provisioning must be enabled on the account. See Device Provisioning on an Account.
3. On the Device Provisioning page, select the copy icon, located after the Provisioning Server Address, this will copy the address to the clipboard.
4. Provide this information to the Poly Lens account DHCP owner.
   
   • DHCP Option Format: https://<ServerUser>:<Password>@<ProvisioningServerAddressURL>.
     
   • Your network environment will vary based on your deployment, however, the system looks for option number 160 and 66 (in that order) in the response received from the DHCP server.
5. Connect the monitor(s) via HDMI, DP, or USB-C DP Alt. Mode (non-TBT) ports.
6. Power on the Docking Station device.
7. Connect the HP Docking Station (RJ-45 cable) to your laptop.
8. A blue breathing light should appear on the Docking Station device.
9. The device will be onboarded to Poly Lens with a graphic showing success.
10. If there is a firmware update available, following will occur:
    • The Docking Station Device will download a firmware update.
    • When the firmware is downloaded, the firmware update will start.
    • When the firmware update is completed, a green LED will appear.
