● If using a laptop instead of the app, the laptop must be on the same network 
as the ACU. If you have a VLAN, make sure the laptop is on the same VLAN as 
the ACU. 
● If using a laptop running Windows or Linux, you must download iTunes . The 
provisioning process uses Bonjour software that comes with iTunes. Optionally, 
you can download iTunes and use an archive utility to extract and install only 
the Bonjour MSI. 
