When a LiveWire is purchased, it is entered into Grid automatically, and associated with the customer account. If it is the first LiveWire the customer has purchased, the account is created, and an email invite will be sent with a link to login to the Grid portal account.

When a LiveWire device is first connected to the network and either gets an IP automatically through DHCP or is given a static IP address, it will reach out to Grid portal and register itself. During the registration process, Grid will attempt to activate the LiveWire, and Grid will return any configuration changes that were made using the DMS portal.

When a user logs in to Grid portal they will see all of their LiveWire devices. Even if the devices have not been connected to the network, configuration changes can still be made to the device. When the device does connect to Grid portal, the configuration changes will be applied to the LiveWire.
