Device Settings

For RTR500BW and RTR500BM:

 Note

Device registration is required for the RTR500BW and RTR500BM. If the Base Unit is an RTR500BC, the registration process is not necessary as it is automatically registered to T&D WebStorage Service after data has been uploaded.

  1. Go to the [Devices] menu and click the [+ Device] button. It will take you to the Add a Device page.

  2. Enter the serial number and registration code for the Base Unit, then click [Add].
    If you plan to use more than one RTR500BW Base Unit, you need to repeat this process for each unit.
    If you don't know the registration code, see: FAQs - [General Questions] - [Q. Where can I check the Registration Code for my RTR500BW/500BM? ] in this Help.

By registering an RTR500BW or RTR500BM, its Remote Units will be automatically registered and will appear when you go back to the [Devices] menu page as shown below.
