Warning

The endpoint group to be added to the "endpoint group" configuration file must be added to the Cloud Services Portal prior to adding it to the configuration file. Otherwise, the newly installed BloxOne Endpoint will be added to the default endpoint group instead.

BloxOne Endpoint is assigned by default to the All BloxOne Endpoints (Default) group. Assignment of the new endpoint occurs at the time of its installation. The assignment to the default endpoint group can be overridden and customized at the time a new endpoint is installed by assigning the new endpoint to a newly created, custom endpoint group.

Scenario 1: BloxOne Group assignment of BloxOne Endpoint previously having a clientID associated with it. If this is the case, then the endpoint will not be added to the custom endpoint group. In this scenario, the endpoint defaults back to the default endpoint group, All BloxOne Endpoints (Default).
