Register Device

This guide explains how to register a device in BioStar X. Registering a device allows BioStar X to monitor and manage the status of that device. Ensure the device is properly connected before searching for it. It’s convenient to know the location, ID, IP address, and other details in advance when adding multiple devices at once.
