2) Create an Account
Sign up for a Morro Cloud Manager account at: https://account.morrodata.com
NOTE: R1100 requires an Enterprise or higher subscription
Follow the step-by-step process for creating an account.
During the sign-up process you will need to:
- Provide an email address. The owner of the email address is automatically designated as the Business Administrator, which is a super-user for the account and will be responsible for managing billing.
- Add a gateway. If the gateway is on the local network, it will be automatically detected. If the gateway is already in the remote location, you will need the UUID from the bottom of the device. If the gateway is not automatically detected, choose “Locate by UUID” to locate the gateway manually.
- Choose your gateway name {gateway_name}. The name of the gateway is used to connect to the device as a network share.
- Choose a Team Portal url {team_portal}. The url is permanent and cannot be changed once the account is created.
- Provide a credit card and billing information. A valid credit card is needed for subscription billing.
