If you're curious how the SmartConfig protocol works, see: http://depletionregion.blogspot.com/2013/10/cc3000-smart-con...

Note that SmartConfig is a TI-specific technology only available in the Spark Core (which is based off the popular CC3000 module). The Photon is based off a Broadcom chip and only appears to support Soft-AP provisioning (where the device presents itself as an access point that a phone/tablet/computer connects to in order to configure Wifi credentials.)

I'm excited to try out a Spark that isn't using the SmartConfig entirely because I'm unable to get it to connect to my WiFi network at work (running an enterprise WiFi setup using Cisco's APs)

My apologies. Reading the documentation page confused me, figured the Photon was the only device by the group.
