# Get Started!

<mark style="color:red;">**Ensure you have updated the firmware on your device before attempting to register**</mark>

### **Connect your BrewZilla to your WiFi network**

* [ ] Plug your BrewZilla Gen 4 into power using the supplied power cable.
* [ ] Plug your BrewZilla Controller into the boiler using the provided 8-pin power cable.
* [ ] On your smart phone or tablet, open your **Wi-Fi settings** and connect to the **Kegland RAPT XXX** network using the Wi-Fi name and password displayed on the BrewZilla controller.
* [ ] Once your smart phone or device is connected to the BrewZilla network, the Captive WiFi Portal will open automatically.
* [ ] Select your WiFi network from the list of available networks, and enter the WiFi password for your network then select **Join**. This will connect your BrewZilla controller to your WiFi network.
* [ ] If your BrewZilla has been successfully connected to your WiFi network then a WiFi symbol will be present on the top left-hand corner of the BrewZilla display.

### **Register your BrewZilla to your Account on the RAPT Portal**

* [ ] Once your BrewZilla controller is connected to your Wi-Fi network enter the menu by pressing Select on the controller. Select Settings and scoll down to **Check For OTA Update.** Select this. The BrewZilla will check for new firmware updates and automatically install any available updates.
* [ ] Once the firmware is updated, enter the menu by pressing Select on the controller. Select the <img src="/files/xtgVBmEgTKDxMGw28LeA" alt="" data-size="line"> button from the menu.
* [ ] A **Mac Address** and **Validation Code** will be displayed on the device. Write both of these down. You will need to enter the MAC address and Validation Code on the RAPT Portal to register your device.
* [ ] Log in to the RAPT Portal (<https://app.rapt.io/>) on a device that is *connected to the same Wi-Fi network* as the BrewZilla you are registering.
* [ ] In the RAPT Portal select **Register Device**. Select **BrewZilla** from the drop down. Select **Next** after ensuring that your BrewZilla Controller is connected to your WiFi network as above.
* [ ] Enter the **MAC address** (this will default to All Caps - that is normal) and **Validation Code** when prompted in the required fields, then select **Next**.
* [ ] You will be prompted to enter a name for your BrewZilla. This is to identify the device in the RAPT Portal, and does not have any functional effect. Input the desired name and select **Finish**
* [ ] **Congratulations! Your BrewZilla is connected to WiFi and registered to your RAPT Portal and your BrewZilla can now be controlled through the RAPT Portal.**
