## Practical steps

1. Record the environment
Ask the administrator for the controller family, deployment type and relevant versions. Record the guest network name and which locations it serves.

2. Locate responsibility
Name the account owner, the support provider and the person authorized to approve a change. Keep credentials out of the inventory; record where the approved access process is documented.

3. Confirm compatibility
Compare the actual environment with the current integration guide. Mark uncertain items as questions for the vendor instead of treating a familiar brand name as proof of compatibility.

## Review before acting

Finish with a short list of confirmed facts and open questions. A vendor should be able to use it to explain what needs verification.

Watch for: Do not publish the inventory with management addresses or access details on a public page.

This worksheet is a planning aid. Confirm product availability and the approvals needed for your specific environment.
