From Standalone to Nebula Cloud Management
To manage your Switch through Nebula, connect the Switch to the Internet, and register it to a site and 
organization at the Nebula web portal (https://nebula.zyxel.com).
See the following steps or the Switch Quick Start Guide for registering the Switch.
Go to the NCC to Register the Switch
1 Go to the Nebula web portal in one of three ways.
• Enter https://nebula.zyxel.com in a supported web browser. See the Nebula User’s Guide for more 
information about supported browsers.
• Click Visit Nebula in the Switch’s login page.
• Click the Nebula Control Center icon in the upper right of the Switch’s Web Configurator.
2 Click Get Started in the Nebula web portal. Enter your myZyxel account information. You will be 
redirected to another screen where you can sign up for a myZyxel account if you do not have one.
3 Create an organization and a site (using the Nebula setup wizard) or select an existing site.
4 Register the Switch by entering its Registration MAC address and serial number and assign it to the site. 
The serial number and Registration MAC address can be found in the DASHBOARD screen or the device 
back label on the Switch.
Use the Zyxel Nebula Mobile App to Register the Switch
1 Download and open the Zyxel Nebula Mobile app in your mobile device (see Section  on page 113 to 
download the app). Click Start on the first page. Click Create account to create a myZyxel account or 
enter your existing account information to log in.
2 Create an organization and site, or select an existing site using the Zyxel Nebula Mobile app.
3 Select a site and scan the Switch's QR code or manually enter the information to add it to the site. You 
can find the QR code:
• On a label on the Switch or
• On its box or
• In the Web Configurator at SYSTEM > Cloud Management.
See Section 3.3 on page 47 for more information about the CLOUD LED or Section Table 14 on page 82 
for more information about the Cloud Control Status field in the DASHBOARD screen to see if the Switch 
goes into Nebula cloud management mode successfully.
The Switch goes into Nebula-managed mode automatically after it can 
access the Nebula web portal and is successfully registered there. Its 
login password and settings are then overwritten with what you have 
configured in the Nebula web portal. To access the Web Configurator 
when the Switch is in Cloud mode, use the Local credentials password 
to login.
