All, 

Over the last few years, we have had to get a number of Sonos devices 
connected. Each version of Sonos has its own special onboarding charm. I am 
clearly not a fan. Here is what we have on our website: [

] On our Cisco WLC, we have had to add the service type _sonos.tcp.local. to 
mDNS.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Joining Sonos to a campus network 



Hi everyone, 



I was wondering how you’re managing actually joining Sonos products to your 
network. If you’ve had the pleasure of setting some of these up you may know 
why I need to ask. 



They don’t really like to individually be directed to join a network and they 
don’t really have a UI that just lets you log in a manage a units network 
connection. 



The best I’ve come up with is a kind of convoluted process that requires 
setting them up wired first and then directing the set you want to manage with 
a given (newly required) user account to join the network at the same time. 



I think there’s also differences between product lines. So far my experience is 
with Play:1’s, Play:5’s, and Connects which our process works with. 



Thanks,
