2. Click the Assign to Site button, and select the site where you want the template configuration applied. Assign the SSR1200 to a Site After the SSR1200 is onboarded to the Mist cloud, you'll need to assign it to a site so you can begin to manage the configuration and gather data in Mist cloud.
NOTE: Under Manage Configuration, do not check the Manage Configuration with Mist checkbox for the SSR1200 if it is using Session Smart Router software version 5.4.4. This allows the SSR1200 to reach out to the conductor IP address specified when the site was created to receive configuration information.
