Wi-Fi Simple Setup Provisionee 2D Barcode Specification

Frustration-Free Setup (FFS) utilizes two-dimensional barcodes in the DataMatrix ECC200 format. The content encoded in the barcodes essentially is a list of key: value pairs (i.e. key1:value1;key2:value2….).

A trailing semi-colon to terminate the content string is considered Optional.

FFS technology utilizes two different barcodes -

Product Barcode (Inner Barcode) - This is included inside the packaging of the device (ideally on the device surface). Package Barcode (Outer Barcode) - This is printed on the outside of the packaging of the device. The 'inner' barcode is scanned by the customer using a mobile app to claim ownership of the device so that FFS technology can automatically set up the device with the customer's account. The 'outer' barcode is scanned at the fulfillment center by the associates while shipping the device.

[Single Device Pack] DHA-Enabled Devices

Specification

The following is the full schema for the barcode

'inner' barcode: (ABV, SERNUM, PID, PUK, PIN )

'outer' barcode: (ABV, SERNUM, PID, PUK, UPC/EAN )

A package will have either an EAN or a UPC, not both.

Barcodes may have SERNUM or none

Product Barcode (Inner Barcode)

Key Name Description
ABV Amazon Barcode Version Defined by Amazon. This denotes the current version of the barcode encoding used to contain the data. It is 4 characters in length. For product barcode (inner barcode) its value is always IB01
SERNUM Serial Number Uniquely identifies the device which is assigned during the time of manufacturing. Device Serial Numbers are 16 Alphanumeric digits long. The SERNUM in the product barcode (inner barcode) is optional. SERNUM must be between 12 and 50 characters in length.
PID Product Id Defined by Amazon and assigned to a product during product onboarding. It is unique to every product even for multiple products from the same manufacturer. It is alphanumeric and 4 characters in length. Reach out to your business development / solution architect lead to create a Product ID.
PUK Compressed Public Key Public Key of the device that was generated during device manufacturing. This needs to adhere to the following representation - Base64.encode( compressed ECC public Key) and is unique to every device. Typically, we would use ECC 256-bit keys.
PIN Secret Pin A random secret PIN for the device generated at the time of device manufacturing. This is AlphaNumeric (Base64 = 27 x 2 + 10) and 9 characters in length. The PIN should also be stored on the device during the time of manufacturing and once stored should only be accessible by the FFS and/or the Out-Of-Box-Experience (OOBE) Application. PIN must be random. PIN must not use other barcode information (private or public key) as a seed

Package Barcode (Outer Barcode)

Key Name Description
ABV Amazon Barcode Version Defined by Amazon. This denotes the current version of the barcode encoding used to contain the data. It is 4 characters in length. For package barcode (outer barcode) its value is always OB01.
SERNUM Serial Number Uniquely identifies the device which is assigned during the time of manufacturing. Device Serial Numbers are 16 Alphanumeric digits long. The SERNUM in the package barcode (outer barcode) is optional. SERNUM must be between 12 and 50 characters in length.
PID Product ID Defined by Amazon and assigned to a product during product onboarding. It is unique to every product even for multiple products from the same manufacturer. It is alphanumeric and 4 characters in length. Reach out to your business development / solution architect lead to create a Product ID.
PUK Compressed Public Key Public Key of the device that was generated during device manufacturing. This needs to adhere to the following representation - Base64.encode( compressed ECC public Key) and is unique to every device. Typically, we would use ECC 256-bit keys.
UPC Universal Product Code 12 digit numeric value assigned for the product by the manufacturer. Universal Product Code
EAN International Article Number The 8-digit/13-digit EAN assigned for the package. If you print a product's EAN on the package, include this field in the barcode. International Article Number

General Guidance for Barcode Generation

Below is the list of common settings that products should utilize to guide the printing of the FFS barcodes. The actual barcodes should, however, be tested to validate they are able to be effectively scanned.

Common Settings for Printing FFS Barcode

Key Inner Barcode Outer Barcode
Dimensions 10 mm x 10 mm (minimum) 15 mm x 15 mm (minimum) Typically 20 mm x 20 mm white label
Cell Size 36 X 36 36 X 36

[Multi-Device Pack] DHA-Enabled Devices

Specification

Note: Since multi-device barcodes will only be printed on the outside of the packaging there is no concept of multi-device 'product' barcodes.

A package will have either an EAN or a UPC, not both.

Package Barcode (Outer Barcode)

Key Name Description
ABV Amazon Barcode Version Defined by Amazon. This denotes the current version of the barcode encoding used to contain the data. It is 4 characters in length. Its value is OB03 for 3P DHAv2-based authentication enabled devices multi-pack.
PID Product Id Defined by Amazon and assigned to a product during product onboarding (this would appear as 'Amazon Id' in Amazon Developer Portal when the product is onboarded). It is unique to every product even for multiple products from the same manufacturer. It is alphanumeric and 4 characters in length.
PUK Compressed public key Public Key of the device that was generated during device manufacturing.This has to adhere to the following format: Base64.encode(PUK1)_Base64.encode(PUK2) where PUK1, PUK2 are compressed public keys. The underscore '_' is a delimiter between encoded PUKs of individual devices in the pack. It is recommended to use ECC 256-bit keys with prime256v1 curve.
UPC Universal Product Code The 12-digit UPC assigned for the package. If you print a product's UPC on the package, include this field in the barcode. Universal Product Code
EAN International Article Number The 8-digit/13-digit EAN assigned for the package. If you print a product's EAN on the package, include this field in the barcode. International Article Number

General Guidance for Barcode Placement

Placement of the barcode should follow the guidelines from the GS1 US barcode placement specification.

In particular, the following rules should be followed:

  • General placement - Back of the box, Lower right quadrant
  • Edge rule - No less than 8mm from the edge, no more than 102mm from the edge of the package
  • Quiet Zone sizing - The Quiet Zone (blank space around the barcode) should follow a 2x module size rule.
  • For a .37mm module size, the QZ should be .74mm
