## Overview

To **register** a **new Cloud Box** in your network, you must complete a simple **three-step configuration** wizard. This process **links** your **virtual machine** to the **cloud panel**.

## Step 1

In this first phase, you will define the **basic identity** of your new **virtual machine**.

| ### Interface Element               | ### Action & Description                                                                             |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cloud Box Name**                  | Enter a **recognizable name** for your **Cloud Box** to easily identify it in your list.             |
| **Notes**                           | Add any **optional details** to help you **manage** this specific **setup later**.                   |
| <font color="#2563eb">`Next`</font> | Click the blue button to **save** these **details** and **proceed** to the **authentication setup**. |

## Step 2

Here you need to create the **specific login** details required to **connect** your **Cloud Box** software to the **cloud platform**.

| ### Interface Element               | ### Action & Description                                                                                                            |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Username**                        | Choose a **unique username** dedicated entirely to this machine connection.                                                         |
| **Password**                        | **Set** a secure **password**, you can **click** the **eye icon** to reveal the text and **ensure** you **typed** it **correctly**. |
| <font color="#2563eb">`Next`</font> | Click the **blue button** to continue to the **final step**.                                                                        |

## Step 3

The **final step** requires **assigning** a base **security level**.

| ### Interface Element                        | ### Action & Description                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Default policy**                           | Use the **drop-down menu** to **select** the **policy** that will be applied by **default**. This is the **catch-all policy** applied by default by the users of the Cloud Box for all calls if nothing else is defined. |
| <font color="#2563eb">`Add Cloud Box`</font> | Once you have **selected** the **policy**, **click** this **final button** to complete the setup and **register** your new **Cloud Box**.                                                                                |

:::hint{type="warning"}
After clicking the **final button**, your new **Cloud Box** will appear in the main list with a **Pending status**. This status indicates that the system is **not synchronizing**, and it will remain so until you **install** the **software** and it successfully connects to the network using the **credentials** you just created.
