Relocate a Silvanet Sensor or Gateway

When a Silvanet Wildfire Sensor, Mesh Gateway or Border Gateway is relocated, update the longitude and latitude settings in the Site Management app.

From time to time a Silvanet device may need to be moved to a new location. This can occur when a tree on which a sensor is attached falls (or is felled) or if a pole on which a Mesh Gateway is deployed must be moved. In these cases, the GPS coordinates of the Silvanet device can be easily updated using either the Site Management app or the Deployment app.

Update using the Site Management app

1. From the Site Management app, select the Site that includes the Silvanet device.

2. From the Device overview section, expand a Silvanet device to display device data, then select Device info.

1. In the Device info page, select the Location tab.

2. Enter the new Latitude and Longitude values in the respective fields, then select Submit.
