Device Activation

Activation of your device is a simple process that can be completed with a laptop or a mobile device. To help make device activation as intuitive as possible, the device will track your progress and guide you through the process.

How to Activate your Device

To activate your device, take the following steps:

  1. Start up the display. The activation screen appears.

  7. The Device Name appears at the top of the display, and the display shows instructions for your next step, which is to either assign a plan or skip this step for now. Note: The device has been added to your organization and will appear in the admin portal, but you cannot share to the display yet.

  8. At this point, you have several options depending upon your plan status:

    1. If you have plans in the organization, you can assign a plan to the device and activate it during onboarding. Or, you can skip this step and assign a plan to the device via the admin portal.

    2. If you do not have a plan, you can purchase a plan and then assign the plan to the device and activate it during onboarding. Or, you can skip this step and purchase a plan at a later date, but you won’t be able to share to the device if you skip this step. To purchase a plan, visit the ecommerce site at mersive.com.

Create a Mersive Account

Creating a Mersive account is a simple process not unlike making a username and password for other web services. Having a Mersive account gives you credentials for login specifically for interacting with the admin portal and your devices.

How to Sign Up for a Mersive Account

  1. With a laptop or mobile device, go to app.mersive.com/admin or mersive.com/activate and select Sign up.
