INTRODUCTION
Here you find essential information on how to set up your mesh network using the installation
app.
In the shipment there will be a tablet, later referred to as the safety & alarm tablet. This, is to
be used during the installation while setting out the nodes on the ship and accordingly report
their location upon the shipment's GA drawing pre-installed in the ScanReach POB solution.
The next page shows how to use the installation app on the tablet.
NOTE:
The tablet needs to be connected to the wi-fi at least once before starting placing the nodes.
When the application is first started and connected to the wi-fi on-board, it will download essential
information from the gateway, which should therefore be already up and running.
The tablet does not need to be online when placing the nodes. The tablet will save the data locally and
synchronize it back to the gateway whenever it is connected again.
For big installations, make sure that the tablet gets online from time to time to synchronize data. This can
avoid loosing the complete installation if something goes wrong during the installation phase.
