Method 1: Scan QR Code

  • Tap Scan QR Code on the gateway onboarding page.

  • Grant permission to use the camera if prompted.

  • Scan the QR code located on the Kudelski gateway device.

  • The user will then be guided to the same steps as in Method 1 (select device bundle → press gateway button → complete onboarding).

If the button press is not registered, a failure message will appear. The user will be prompted to press the button again to retry the process.

Button Press Failed – Retry


Completion

Once all four steps are completed, the field will be successfully created and available for management within the farm.

It may take some time before recommendations or alerts are available, as the system needs to collect and process data from the gateway.
