- Setup traffic forwarding to Cayenne
- Add your device to your Cayenne dashboard
We will walk you through these steps in the following sections.

Create account
To get an account with Objenious, you will need to work directly with Objenious. Although there is an account creation link on the SPOT portal, it requires an Activation Code that you must first obtain from Objenious.

Once you have your account, you can proceed with the logging into the SPOT portal. After logging in, you will see your Dashboard and from there you can proceed with setting things up to connect with Cayenne.
Manually register device
