# Register Mesh Gateway

{% hint style="info" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}

## Register Mesh Gateway

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

{% hint style="info" %}
**Finding the deployment location**

Note in the figure above the Mesh Gateway is 120 m away from the user. Use this map to move towards the deployment location.
{% endhint %}

4. If you tapped **Show Devices on Map**, the map shows an overview of the Site. Your location is indicated by a blue dot.

5. Once the deployment location is found, register the Device ID.
6. Scan the device's QR Code which is attached to the back of the Mesh Gateway.

7. The Silvanet Deployment app automatically fills in the Mesh Gateway's location (latitude and longitude) using the Smartphone's GPS location.

{% hint style="info" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}

6. After a few moments, the **Registration successful** message appears. The device icon changes from **Planned** to **Deployed**. For more information, see [Status icons](https://docs.dryad.app/dryad-documentation/resources/status-icons#mesh-gateway-status-icons).

## Next step

After a successful registration, the Mesh Gateway can be permanently mounted to a tree or pole.  The Deployment app provides guidelines for mounting the Mesh Gateway.
