# Before you submit

  

Use the connection values and instructions displayed in your Rekaz account. Do not rely on values from a general screenshot.

  

After submission, test with a trial user and confirm that synchronization appears before relying on the device operationally.

  

-   A test serial number does not enable Services or Submit.
    
-   Final connection and synchronization require a real ZKTeco device, a valid serial number, and compatible network settings.
    
-   Do not publish or send a real device serial number through an unsecured channel.
