on a desktop computer or a laptop configured with the Baystate network.

 

 Step 6

The link in the email will get you to a page asking you to sign in with the BrowZine Account you recently created.

confirmation that your device is now paired and you can return
to BrowZine on your device

Need additional assistance?   Click on this link to see pairing video and FAQ's 

Updates & Expirations

You can always go to the SETTINGS tab within BrowZine to see how much time you have left in the pairing.  Pairing starts out at 90 days, so if you just completed this you now have 89 days left.

Once this time expires you will be prompted to re-pair your device again. Alternatively, you can avoid this by periodically using BrowZine (just launching the app) within the institutional wi-fi if possible.  This automatically will bring you back up to 90 days.
