10 Register labels
In order that labels can join the network it is necessary to register them first.
10.1 General procedure
Via the SES-imagotag Control Center 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.
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 ESL channels). After this you
can send images to each label (see Start tagging on page 27).

10.2 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 the barcodes. The SES-
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.
