Access Point (AP) mode is the most common provisioning method today for headless devices. In AP mode the un-provisioned device wakes-up initially as an AP with an SSID defined by the equipment manufacturer. Before trying to connect to the home network for the first time, the un-provisioned device creates a network of its own, allowing a PC or a smart phone to connect to it directly to facilitate its initial configuration.
