Binding Alexa to the Cloudpath Enrollment System

You can bind Alexa to your Cloudpath system after your Alexa applications adds (or "learns") the Cloudpath network skill.
Follow these steps to have Alexa learn the necessary skill and provide you with a binding code:
  1. Locate the Cloudpath network admin application in the Alexa store and add it to your device. There are instructions on the internet about how to add skills to Alexa.
  2. Once Alexa has added the Cloudpath network admin skill, speak these exact words into your Alexa device: "Alexa, ask network admin to get me on the network."
  3. Alexa should then ask you if you would like to have a binding code generated. Answer "yes."
  4. Alexa then says the binding code out loud. Be sure to take note of this code, as you will need to enter it into the Cloudpath UI.
  5. In the Cloudpath UI, navigate to Administration > System Services.
  6. Scroll to the bottom of that page to locate "Alexa," then click on the arrow to expand the entry:

  7. Click Bind.
  8. In the ensuing screen, enter the binding code that Alexa gave to you, then click Save.

    Note: Once you have used a binding code, you cannot use the same one again.
  9. If Alexa successfully binds to the Cloudpath system, a message should appear in the top of the System Services page: " Stored Alexa binding data!"
    If binding was not successful, some possible reasons are:
    • Entering the code incorrectly. If you receive a message that indicates an invalid code was entered, try typing the code in again.
    • Connectivity issues between the Cloupdpath system and the Amazon Cloud. If you receive a message indicating this type of issue, you might want to check how your firewalls are set up.
