How to add an EdgeRouter to UISP

To add your EdgeRouter device to a HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UISP Controller, first log into your device.

Then click the 'UNMS' button in the top right corner

In the new dropdown, click 'Paste UNMS key'

In the tray that has appeared, locate the 'UNMS Connection' section. Then click enable and enter in your UISP key, which can be found by following this guide here.

Scroll down and be sure to press 'Save'

Once the key has been added and the EdgeRouter has successfully reached the UISP server, the UNMS icon will have a green tick next to it.

Next step is to add to the UISP application. This guide here shows how to add a new subscriber and approve the device.
