Pairing

You've reached a step where you need to pair two OctoMY™ nodes. Pick a method below — they all produce the same result; the right choice depends on your environment.

This is a landing page

This page is intentionally short. It lists the alternatives so you can pick the one that fits, then click through for the actual UI walkthrough. The walkthroughs live on their own pages so each method has a single, up-to-date source of truth.


Pick a method

Method When to use it
Pair via LAN Default. Both devices on the same WiFi or wired network. Quickest setup, no extra hardware.
Pair via QR One device has a camera and the other can display a code. Adds a physical-proximity confirmation step.
Pair via Audio (future) The two devices can hear each other but aren't on the same network.
Pair via Bluetooth (future) Short range, no IP network available.
Migrate via Network If you're moving an existing identity rather than creating a new pair, see Migrate via Network instead.

After you've paired

You'll end up on the set trust level step on the Agent — pick how much the Remote is allowed to do (Block / Ignore / Trust). See Trust Levels for what each level means.

If something goes wrong — no Agents found, request rejected, connection drops — see Troubleshoot Pairing.
