Complete these essential tasks to set up your organization and sites, ensure security, install your devices, and start configuring your network.

Table 1: Deployment Tasks and Links
Category	Task	More Information
Prerequisites	Before you can configure your wireless network or onboard your devices, you need to complete these tasks in the Juniper Mist™ portal: Create your organization. Set up at least one site, and activate your subscriptions. Configure your firewall to allow outbound Juniper Mist traffic. Recommended, but not required before you can configure your wireless network: Add user accounts for other personnel who are working with you to deploy Juniper Mist. You can even enable limited access for the personnel who are installing devices. Set up other security options as needed. For example, manage certificates, disable Juniper Mist support access, or enable Single Sign-On.	Juniper Mist Quick Start Firewall Configuration: Juniper Mist IP Addresses and Ports Security Options
Device Installation	Claim your devices into your organization.	Juniper Mist Access Points Quick Start (onboarding steps and troubleshooting tips) Deployment Guides for Juniper APs (device requirements, specifications, and mounting instructions) Juniper Mist Edge Guide
WLAN Setup	Set up your WLAN templates and WLANs. Configure settings such as security, radio frequency, rate limits, QoS, and more. For all deployments, we recommend using WLAN templates. Templates streamline your tasks and ensure consistency. Future operations are made easier, because you can quickly update your template, while Juniper Mist applies the changes across all associated sites.

RF Templates and Device Profiles	If you have multiple sites and device types, you can use RF templates and device profiles to streamline configuration and deployment. By doing so, you ensure consistent settings across sites. As with WLAN templates, Juniper Mist applies any changes across all associated sites and devices.	RRM Configuration Options
Auto-Provisioning	For large deployments, consider enabling auto-provisioning. Juniper Mist can automatically assign device profiles, names, and sites to your APs as you onboard them.	Auto-Provision Device Names, Sites, and Device Profiles
