7 Register labels
In order that labels can join the network it is necessary to register them first.
7.1 General procedure
Via the ESL Client under File – Register Labels it’s possible to register your labels manually
with the registration code shown on each single label or you could import a CSV file with your
registration codes. In order to refresh the entries press the refresh button shown in the next
figure.
Important Note: After the registration it could last a certain time until all registered labels are
joined to the network (from 30 minutes up to two hours, depending on configured access point
channels). After this you can send images to each label (see Start tagging on page 35).

7.2 What's on the label?
All labels will arrive with its registration code (11-digit alphanumeric)shown on the display of
the label. The code is printed as a 2D QR code, as a 1D Code128 barcode and as human
readable text. The registration process for the customer is easy – he has only to scan one of
this barcodes. The imagotag Core Service will than automatically start the key exchange with
the label secured by the PIN extracted from the registration code.
The two relevant codes:
1. The label ID (8-digit hexadecimal) to identify the label (it's also the radio address which
is similar to a MAC address).
2. The registration code (11-digit alphanumeric) is required to activate the encryption. This
code also contains the label ID and a random PIN code.
