Whether the device should automatically preload the latest available software version.

- availableNetworks list of objects [AvailableNetworkFragment](https://docs.mediakind.com/api-reference/fleets-api/schemas/availablenetworkfragment) Required

The list of <glossary:network>s available to the device and, optionally, the interfaces they are connected to. Leave the available networks list empty to give the device access to all of the networks with routes to the device's <glossary:site>. Read Available networks to learn more.

- interfaceName string Required pattern: \[^\s\/]\{1,16\}

The name of the <<glossary:device interface>> that will be connected to the network.

- networkName string Required pattern: ^\[a-z0-9\](\[a-z0-9-\]\{0,61\}\[a-z0-9\])?$

The name of the <glossary:network\> that will be made available to this device.

- desiredSoftwareVersion string Optional <=255 characters

The desired version of software that should be running on the device.

- geolocation object [GeolocationFragment](https://docs.mediakind.com/api-reference/fleets-api/schemas/geolocationfragment) Optional

Optional geolocation data for the device.

- coordinates list of doubles Required 0-2 items

Co-ordinates that describe the geolocation (ISO 6709), an array of two floating point numbers \[latitude(North - South), longitude(East - West)\]. Set an empty array to clear the geolocation.

The location id is the identity of the actual device that will be associated with this record. This can be used instead of the `shortCode` field when registering an on-prem device. The location id does not change so this can be a simpler approach for large scale system administration.

- preloadSoftwareVersion string Optional <=255 characters

A version of the software that should be preloaded on the device.

- shortCode string Optional 8-8 characters

The short code from a device's web user interface, used to on-board the device. The short code expires quickly, so it should be used immediately after it is generated. Read On-board fleet devices to learn more about on-boarding devices.

- siteName string Optional pattern: ^(\[a-z0-9\](\[a-z0-9-\]\{0,61\}\[a-z0-9\])?)?$

The name of the <glossary:site\> where the device is located.
