Setting up Gateway (BEAM-GW)
This page explains the process of setting up the ACKCIO BEAM gateway device.
Installation
The gateway can be directly affixed to a flat surface using M4 screws. However, for more
sophisticated mounting scenarios, we recommend using the gateway bracket. The gateway
bracket can be used to easily mount the gateway on flat surfaces, on pipes using U-bolts, or in
other complicated settings. (One of our clients hung it using cable ties as well!)
If you are using the bracket, first fix the gateway device to the bracket using M4 screws and
nuts as shown below.
