Register Mesh Gateway

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

Device ID

Each Silvanet Mesh 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 Gateway.
