Hardware Purchased from OIT
If the client or channel partner purchases hardware from OIT, they will receive a tracking number once the order has shipped. The channel partner may then navigate to Inventory > Phone Hardware and assign the phones accordingly.
Please note that even though the phones will not be labeled, they will still provision automatically once plugged in and connected to the internet.
