About Device IDs

The Device ID is provided as a unique text string and QR Code printed on a label attached to the back or side of each Silvanet Gateway and sensor.

When scanned into the Silvanet Deployment app, the Device ID registers the device with the Silvanet Cloud.

It also allows the Silvanet Cloud to know the location of the device in a Site and which sensor sent data, such as a fire alert.

Each node in a LoRaWAN network contains its own unique Device ID.

A Pending icon next to a Packet indicates the devices in the Packet have not been deployed.
