or structure using included hardware.
a) Configuration
Prior to mounting and installation, the network bridge interface should be configured
and tested. The Gateway 2 is factory configured with one of three network bridge
interfaces: Ethernet, WiFi, or Cellular. Consult the chapter for the selected network
interface for details on configuration and testing.
b) Mounting
For maximum efficiency, the Gateway 2 should be
mounted in a high location with an unobstructed view
of as many mesh devices as possible. However, the
Gateway will operate correctly as long as it is within
wireless range of at least one mesh device.
