Register Border Gateway

Before mounting the Border Gateway, register the Device ID using the Deployment app to provide its GPS location with the Silvanet Cloud.

Device ID

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.

Register Device ID

To register the Border Gateway's Device ID, scan the QR Code (for Gen 2) or use NFC (for Gen 3).

1. In the Silvanet Deployment app, select a Site.

Next steps

After a successful Device Registration, the Border Gateway can be permanently mounted to the tree or pole. The Deployment app provided guidelines for mounting the Border Gateway.

Mounting instructions

Mount the Border Gateway to a metal or wood pole or on a tree, as described in the following sections. Afterwards, mount the solar panel(s). Alternately, use the PoE Injector to provide power from mains, if available.
