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.
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.
The following shows the steps to register the Device ID (Serial ID) by scanning the QR Code of the Border Gateway.
In the Silvanet Deployment app, select a Site.
In the list of devices that appears, select the Border Gateway. Alternately, select Show Devices on Map.
On the map that appears, tap Register Device. The blue dot on the map shows your current location.
Finding the deployment location
Note in the figure above the Border Gateway is 120 m away from the user. Use this map to move towards the deployment location.
If you tapped Show Devices on Map, the maps shows on overview of your Site. Your location is indicated by a blue dot.
Once the deployment location is found, scan the device's QR Code which is attached to the back of the Border Gateway. The Deployment app automatically fills in the Gateway's latitude and longitude using the Smartphone's GPS location.
QR Code not scannable?
If the QR Code cannot be scanned, manually enter the Device ID which is found as a text string next to the QR Code.
After a few moments, the Registration successful message appears. The device icon changes from Planned to Deployed. For more information, see Status icons.
After a successful registration, mount the Border Gateway to a tree or pole.
