To register a device and get access, log in or create an eGauge.net account at https://egauge.net/login.

If you administrate an existing group, you will have the option to add the device to the group you admin. If the device being registered belongs to another group, after pressing Register Device it will tell you it cannot be moved but has been registered.

Next, visit eGauge.net/eGuard or hover your mouse over eGuard and click on Portfolio:

Locate the newly registered device in the portfolio and click the notepad icon to the left of the device name:
