2. Under **Connectors**, select **Register your appliance**.

3. In **Appliance details** > **Serial number**, insert the serial number for your device. You can optionally add notes about the Magic WAN Connector you are adding to the dashboard.

4. (Optional) Select **Add** below **Serial number** to add multiple Magic WAN Connectors at once to your account.

Your device is now registered with your account. Select **Add on-ramps** to continue with the setup process, or **Return to connections** to check your newly added Connector.
