MistAI for iPhone

About the MistAI Mobile App

MistAI is an iPhone utility from Mist Systems Inc created to simplify setup and management of network hardware. It supports a variety of equipment — for example, Mist Access Points, the Mist Edge gateway, Juniper switches, and WAN edge routers — and streamlines the initial installation and ongoing administration.

Roles and Access Controls

The app defines distinct roles to control what users can do within an organization:

Installer: limited, task-focused privileges for on-site setup and device registration.
Admin: broader rights to configure, assign, and manage devices across the organization.

Secure access is supported through modern sign-in methods to protect accounts and speed access:

Biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) for quick, secure local access.
Single sign-on (SSO) using Mist account credentials for centralized identity management.

Onboarding and Inventory Workflow

MistAI simplifies bringing devices into your network and keeping track of them:

Scan a QR code or enter an activation code to claim and attach devices to an organization or specific site.
Search for, review, and assign inventory items at both the organizational and site levels to keep records current.

Device Information and Management Actions

Detailed device views let you inspect status and perform common maintenance tasks:

Replace a device or swap hardware when maintenance or upgrades are required.
Unclaim devices from the organization or unassign them from a site when decommissioning or moving equipment.
See device model, current status, and which site or location it is associated with.

Suggested Companion Application

For quick document scanning or capturing serial numbers during deployment, consider a companion tool:

PowerScanner — OCR Scanner (free) as a helpful utility for scanning labels and paperwork during installations.
