+===== Testing New Arrivals =====
+  *  To confirm that the system is adding New Entrances as intended, you can test it by mimicking a RADIUS client and MESHdesk-enabled hardware.
+==== Imitating a RADIUS client ====
+  * RADIUSdesk has a built-in RADIUS client that you can use conveniently.
+  * Under the Overview section, you will find a Utilities tab with a button to start the RADIUS client.
+<panel type="default" title="RADIUS Client">
+{{ :getting_started:radius_client_utiil.png|}}
+</panel>
+  * This is the result of your test action
+<panel type="default" title="New Arrival RADIUS Client - Result">
+{{ :getting_started:radius_client_new_arrival_result.png|}}
+</panel>
+  * You can now either delete it, or attach it as a RADIUS Client.
+==== Imitate MESHdesk-capable hardware ====
+  * The MESHdesk-enabled hardware performs an HTTP GET call to the RADIUSdesk server.
+  *  This can be done either via HTTP or HTTPS and is configurable.
+  * The following URL can be used as a reference:
+  * http://cloud.radiusdesk.com/cake4/rd_cake/nodes/get-config-for-node.json?gateway=true&_dc=1651070922&version=22.03&mac=00-3F-5D-00-8F-C5
+  * The result when it is not yet managed will look like this
+<code javascript>
+{
+    "success": false,
+    "error": "MAC Address: 00-3F-5D-00-8F-C5 not defined on system"
+}
+</code>
+  * This is the result of our test action
+<panel type="default" title="New Arrival Hardware - Result">
+{{ :getting_started:meshdesk_new_arrival_result.png|}}
+</panel>
+  * You can now either delete it or attach it as a node to a selected mesh network or as an AP to an AP Profile.
+==== New Arrivals - Devices ====
+<alert type="warning">
+  * You may notice that there is also a New Arrivals button under Permanent Users.
+  * This is still a work in progress and part of the PPSK solution that is still being developed.
