Device Lifecycle
The device lifecycle consists of 4 phases: provisioning, activation, management,
and termination.
Provisioning
This is the process of configuring a device for use by a subscriber. A device in
this phase can be either a "future device" or a "managed device". A future
device is a placeholder which contains configuration for a device which will by
managed by the ACS at some point in the future.
During the provisioning phase:
• Subscribers and devices are associated with each other
• Initial service subscriptions are configured
Activation
Activation occurs the next time a device contacts the ACS after the provisioning
phase.
This can come in multiple forms:
• The device has never contacted Prime Home, but a future device has been
configured ahead of time.
• The device has previously contacted the ACS, but becomes associated with a
new subscriber.
During this phase, services which are provisioned in an "enabled" state are
enabled and initial settings are applied. Initial settings can include:
• PPP credentials
