This section assumes that you have purchased and installed a Plugzio device. The device must be powered on and connected to the internet with an active software subscription.
- The device is connected to the internet when the LED on the device is breathing a cyan (i.e. light blue) color. For example:
If your manager account is new, you should be greeted by a "Get Started" message
- New manager accounts have some items that need to be configured. This can be seen by the "!" icons on the navigation bar. For example:
Click the "Get Started" button in the center of the page. This will start the "Get Started" process to configure and set up your management account. The goal of this process is to:
