Adding a trap to your account

You add ("activate") a trap from the OcuTrap app at base.ocutrap.com or in the mobile app. Have the trap with you so you can read its ID labels, and verify your email first. Until you do, the app shows "Verify your email to add a trap." and the Add trap button stays off. Use Resend verification email if the link did not arrive. If you leave the wizard to verify your email, your progress is saved, so you can pick up where you left off.

What you'll need

The app asks for two identifiers:

• Trap ID: the human-readable label on the sticker on your trap (for example OCT-002841). The app's helper text reads "Find this on the sticker on your trap."
• Device ID: the cellular module's ID. Find it on the device sticker inside the POD (on mobile the helper text reads "Printed on the cellular module inside your trap.").

Support may ask for either: they refer to the same device.

Activate a trap (web)

1. Sign in at base.ocutrap.com.
2. Open Add trap to start the add-trap wizard. It has four steps: Identify, Cellular plan, Name & notes, Confirm.
3. Identify: enter your Trap ID and Device ID.
4. Cellular plan: choose Monthly or Annual.
5. Name & notes: give the trap a Name. Notes are optional. Use them for site access details such as a gate code. You can edit both later, and set a map pin from the trap page if GPS is missing.
6. Confirm: review the summary and tap Add trap.
7. When activation completes, the app opens the new trap's page and shows a Start your free trial callout. Your 30-day free trial begins when you set up billing at checkout, not at activation. Open the trap's Billing page from that callout to start it. Until the device connects for the first time, a Waiting for first check-in note appears on the trap page; it clears automatically once the trap checks in, usually within a few minutes.

Activate a trap (mobile)

1. Open the OcuTrap mobile app and sign in.
2. Tap Add trap in the Traps tab or the All traps header, then choose Add connected trap. (Add manual trap is for a trap with no electronics: it has no device controls, live data, or subscription.)
3. Enter a Name, the Trap ID, and the Device ID. All three are required. The Trap ID is on the sticker on your trap. The Device ID is printed on the cellular module inside your trap. Notes are optional.
4. Tap Add trap at the bottom of the screen. The button stays off until all three fields are filled in. A line under it names what is still missing, for example "Enter a Trap ID and Device ID". If the line reads "Fix the Device ID", check the Device ID: it is 1 to 64 characters and uses only letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores. Set up billing afterward from the trap's Billing screen: your 30-day free trial starts when you set up billing at checkout, not at activation.
