9 Provisioning

For normal operation the ATWINC15x0 device requires certain parameters to be loaded. In particular, when operating in Station mode, it must know the identity (SSID) and credentials of the access point to which it needs to connect. The entry of this information is facilitated through the following provisioning steps.

The current ATWINC15x0 software supports the following methods of provisioning:

  • HTTP-based (browser) provisioning, while the WINC is in AP mode
  • Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
