#How ReadyLinks devices connect
ReadyLinks devices get their configuration from the ReadyLinks cloud, so you can set everything up in ReadyView before the hardware arrives. The only thing a device needs is an uplink that reaches the internet through your firewall rules. Once it's online, it reports its health to ReadyView and downloads its latest configuration.
