## II. Activate your device

Start the device and connect it to the network. The administrator password for the device is **blueberry**. To find the device IP, log in to your router's management panel and locate the device's current IP address. Once identified, visit http\://{deviceip}:9999/ in your browser to enter the management panel. Click "Activate" to activate the device. (For example, if the device is connected to the network with an intranet IP of 192.168.1.156, visit <http://192.168.1.156:9999/> to enter the activation page.) (You can also open a browser on the device and visit <http://127.0.0.1:9999>.)

## V. Notes&#x20;

1.If you change the node key or name on Skynet, you need to update the node key or name in the phoenixNodeData.json file located in the /home/blueberry/workspace directory on the node device accordingly. You can access the /home/blueberry/workspace directory by connecting to your node device via SSH. The SSH username and password are both blueberry. Alternatively, you can open a terminal directly on the node device and navigate to the /home/blueberry/workspace directory.

2.If your node has been offline for a long time or its mining revenue has not increased, please first check the situation mentioned in point 1 above. If the issue in point 1 has been ruled out, it is possible that the mining program on your node device is stuck. In this case, you can try restarting the node device.
