Register Border Gateway

Learn how to register the Silvanet Border Gateway before mounting the device on a pole or tree and providing it with a power supply.

Each Silvanet Border Gateway has its own unique Device ID (also referred to as Serial ID). It is provided as a unique text string as well as a QR Code printed on a label attached to the Border Gateway. The Deployment app uses the smartphone's camera to allow the user to scan the device's QR Code.

After the Border Gateway is registered with the Silvanet Cloud, the latitude and longitude of the device in the Site is provided to the Site Details section of the Site Management app.

Relocating a Border Gateway

If a Border Gateway has been relocated, update the latitude and longitude of the device in the Device overview section of the Site Management app.
