Setting up Relay Node (BEAM-RN)

This page provides information on setting up a Relay Node to work with the offline Ackcio

Beam gateway.

Installation

The Nodes can be directly affixed to a flat surface using M4 screws. However, for more

sophisticated mounting scenarios, we recommend using the node bracket. The node bracket

can be used to easily mount the node on flat surfaces, on pipes using U-bolts or cable-ties, or

in other complicated settings.

If you are using the bracket, first fix the node device to the bracket using M4 screws and nuts

as shown below.

Use four screws and nuts to attach the node to the bracket
