📋 Step-by-Step: Register/Add A Device

• Log in to the Edge Signal platform

• Navigate to the lefthand sidebar near the top of the SERVICES section where you’ll find the PROJECTS menu

• Here you can either create a new project by clicking the + icon, or you can select an existing project in which to register your new device

Choose project for new device

• Click Add new device (top right-hand corner of the page), which will generate a registration command that you will run on the new device

• Click the copy icon to copy the command to the clipboard

Copy registration command

• Log in to your device, paste and run the command

Note: By default, the user will be prompted to specify the desired device privilege mode by entering Y or N. If the user would rather skip this step, they should add the following option to the command: -p or --privileged

See the examples below.

Original Command:

sudo wget -qO /tmp/signal_installer.sh "https://signal-installer.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/release/signal_installer.sh" && sudo bash /tmp/signal_installer.sh “token”

Modified Command with privilege:

sudo wget -qO /tmp/signal_installer.sh "https://signal-installer.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/release/signal_installer.sh" && sudo bash /tmp/signal_installer.sh -p y “token"

Modified Command without privilege:

sudo wget -qO /tmp/signal_installer.sh "https://signal-installer.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/release/signal_installer.sh" && sudo bash /tmp/signal_installer.sh -p n “token"

• The device will require root user access for registration

Note: This may take several minutes as necessary dependencies are installed

Run registration command

• If this device has been previously registered, you can use the previous configuration by typing Y for YES at the prompt and entering the relevant information

• If not previously registered, type N for NO and enter a new device name

• Next you will be prompted with the option to enter the device’s serial number

Note: Simply press Enter to skip the serial number option

Enter device name, optional serial number

• Wait a minute or so as the remaining necessary dependencies are installed

• Once registration is successful, you will see the new device appear in the device list

• A status of unknown is only temporary, and will update momentarily

New device is available
