Managing Multiple Devices

Enroll and manage several devices on your Fabric account.

Overview

You can enroll multiple devices under one Fabric account. Each device:

  • Has its own device ID
  • Earns independently
  • Can be managed separately
  • Contributes to your total earnings

Adding Another Device

  1. Download the Fabric Agent on the new device.
  2. Install and launch the app.
  3. Sign in with your existing Fabric account.
  4. Click "Enroll Node."
  5. The new device appears in your dashboard.

Same account = combined earnings.

Viewing All Devices

  1. Log in to fabric.carmel.so.
  2. Go to Dashboard → Devices (or Nodes).
  3. See all enrolled devices.

For each device:

  • Name/identifier
  • Status (online/offline)
  • Last seen
  • Hardware specs
  • Earnings

Device Identification

Each device gets a unique ID based on hardware characteristics. Devices are displayed with:

  • Device name: OS-assigned computer name
  • Hardware: CPU, RAM, GPU info
  • Node ID: Anonymized identifier (what enterprises see)

Earnings Per Device

Track which devices earn most:

  1. Go to Dashboard.
  2. View earnings breakdown by device.
  3. See job counts per device.

Useful for:

  • Identifying top performers
  • Deciding which devices to keep online
  • Understanding ROI

Managing Individual Devices

From the web dashboard, you can:

View details:

  • Hardware specifications
  • Job history
  • Performance metrics

Remove device:

  • Unenroll remotely (device goes offline).
  • Or unenroll locally from the device's agent.

Optimal Setup

For Maximum Earnings

  • Keep devices online 24/7.
  • Use daemon/service for auto-start.
  • Ensure stable internet.
  • Prevent sleep mode.

Hardware Diversity

Different devices excel at different workloads:

  • GPUs: ML inference, training.
  • High RAM: Large datasets.
  • Fast CPU: Data processing.

Mix of hardware = more workload eligibility.

Bandwidth Considerations

Multiple devices share your network:

  • Initial model downloads can be large.
  • Job data transfer is typically small.
  • Once models are cached, bandwidth is minimal.

If bandwidth is limited, stagger device enrollment.

Same Device, Multiple Users

Not recommended. Each device should be enrolled to one account.

If you need to switch accounts:

  1. Unenroll from current account.
  2. Sign out.
  3. Sign in with new account.
  4. Re-enroll.
