Connect the device as instructed by your Counterbalance project engineer. If you need to modify device settings or adjust the installation plan, please contact support. ### Device Pairing & Activation Once a device is set up and connected to the Internet, you can pair it with your Green Stack account using the Green Stack Console. To pair a new device: 1. **Log in** to the [**Green Stack Console**](https://console.greenstack.cloud/launcher) and navigate to **System Configuration** 2. Select **Edge Devices** from the sidebar 3. Click **Activate Device** 4. Provide the **twelve-digit serial number** printed on the device 5. Provide an optional I**nstalled Location** and **Description** 6. Click **Activate Device** to complete the pairing process --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.greenstack.dev/configuration/edge-devices/device-setup.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
