This focuses on setting a network connection using 3G, although you will have the option to set up a connection via LAN and Wifi. To set a 3G connection, you will be required to insert a sim card onto the PCB. You will be required to remove the gateway casing. Make sure the gateway is not powered when exposing the PCB to insert the sim card.

Sense Network Settings Update your Sense Channel and PAN ID to allow the sensors to join. The Channel number of the sensor will be on the sensors.
Condeco Sense Discovery The sense discovery will display all the sensors that are on the channel that was configured previously. The sensors need to be registered to the gateway before they start collecting and sending data. Select Register to join the sensors to the gateway. Condeco Sense Management The Condeco sense management will show all your sensors currently connected to the gateway. Deregister/remove any sensors that should not be connected to this gateway.
Condeco Status When the 3G connection has been updated, and the VPN certificates have been provisioned, the Condeco Status will show all the links that have been established.
De-installation Once a sense study has finished, the gateway will need to be reset back to its default settings ready for the next sense deployment. Before resetting the database, make a backup of both the logs and database. Run through these steps to take your backups and reset back to defaults.
