New in 5.6 Generation 2

October 3, 2018

Feature Description
New API method to retrieve basic device diagnostic information The new GetDeviceDiagnosticsInformation API method returns basic diagnostic information about a specified device, including connectivity, provisioning, and billing status. The DeviceService WSDL has been updated with the new request and response.
Support for TLS in UWS Explorer and Hello World The UWS Explorer and Hello World sample applications have been recompiled with .NET Framework version 4.6, and now support TLS security for data exchange.
Support for customers without a blanket credit approval Customers applying for credit approval from Verizon can now start the activation process for devices while waiting for the approval. The ChangeDeviceState-Activate method now returns an "on hold" callback while approval is pending. If credit is not approved within one week, the method returns a "canceled" callback message.
New, more specific callback error messages for activation issues We have replaced a generic error message with more specific error messages for several activation-related issues.
