To add a sensor you first have to create a Project and the instrument must be set up to use NorCloud. When you are within a project, click the 
symbol in the left vertical menu to add a sensor.
Select the sensor, verify the stored details change what is needed, and click Save.
If you need to edit these settings later, click on the 
icon or name in the sensor list and then the 
Edit sound sensor icon from the left menu.

Connection
Your Norsonic Instrument can be connected to internet by one of these methods:
•SIM card
•LAN Ethernet
•WiFi
If a LAN/Ethernet or WiFi connection is chosen, please set SIM card to "None".
If a SIM card connection is to be used, please select the correct SIM card type:
•Normal (when you are using a simple SIM card)
•Public (if you are using a SIM card with Public IP)
•VPN (if you are using a SIM card with VPN. Must be agreed with Norsonic)
All above connections requires that the instrument is set up correctly, and that the instrument have the right options installed. Here you can read more about how to prepare the Instrument for NorCloud.
When editing a sensor later, you will be given additional options below here as well. Read more about them here.
