Resolving SmartMetal NFT Activation Issues

Modified on Mon, Jun 9 at 1:49 PM

Overview
This article addresses issues encountered during the manual activation of a VERI SmartMetal NFT, specifically when scanning the QR code. An error occaisonally reported is:
"Activation error - as.connector.getChainid is not a function."
This error typically results from an incomplete or inaccurate QR code scan and can often be resolved by rescanning.

Symptoms
  • The device camera locks onto the QR code too quickly, resulting in a poor scan. 
  • An error message appears: "Activation error - as.connector.getChainid is not a function." 
  • Activation fails on the first attempt but may succeed after rescanning.

Cause
The error can occur due to: 
  • Suboptimal lighting conditions (e.g., glare or shadows). 
  • Incorrect positioning of the QR code within the camera’s frame. 
  • Device-specific issues, such as outdated camera software or hardware limitations. 
  • User scanning technique.

Resolution
To resolve the activation error and successfully activate your VERI SmartMetal NFT, follow these steps: 
  1. Optimize Scanning Conditions
    • Ensure the QR code is scanned in a well-lit environment, free from glare or shadows. 
    • Clean your device’s camera lens to avoid obstructions.
  2. Rescan the QR Code
    • Position the QR code fully within the camera’s frame, keeping your device steady. 
    • Retry the scan if the error occurs.
  3. Verify Device Compatibility
    • Confirm that your device’s camera and software are updated to the latest version. 
    • Use a compatible device as specified in the [VERI SmartMetal NFT Activation Guide].
  4. Test Activation
    • After rescanning, verify that the activation completes successfully.

Additional Tips
  • Hold the device 6–12 inches from the QR code for optimal focus, vary the distance until success.
  • Avoid scanning in low-light conditions or with reflective surfaces nearby. 
  • If the error persists after multiple attempts, note the error message and your device details for support.
