Abstract
A method of provisioning a headless device includes the steps of acquiring credentials for a user application, then placing the headless device in a provisioning mode. Once in the provisioning mode, characters associated with the credentials are displayed by the user application, then the characters are read by an optical character reader (OCR) of the headless device, thereby allowing the headless device to join a network associated with the credentials.
