Installing a SAM
Each SAM is connected to an Antenna Array (four
antennas), a COM Antenna, and a solar panel. Each of
these items should be mounted before they are connected to
the SAM.
Installing the SAM involves the following tasks:
• Installing a battery
• Mounting the SAM
• Connecting the Antenna Array, COM Antenna, and Solar
Panel.
►
Note: Installing the SAM involves powering on the device.
However, you should power up the Gateway and launch
the Management Centre application before powering on the
SAM. Powering up the devices in this order allows the
SRDs to be registered into the system. If a SAM is powered
up before the Gateway and Management Centre
application are started, the SAM will have to be powered
down, and then repowered in order for the SRDs to be
registered in the system.
If there are multiple SAMs, power up the SAM closest to an
active Gateway first. When a SAM is powered up, it must
be in range of an active Gateway.
Each time a SAM is powered on, a prompt will display in
the Management Centre asking you to configure the SAM
now or later. See “Configuring the SAM” on page 4.
