Power the ZA 3500

When using ethernet as a network use the power over ethernet to power the ZA 3500. Make sure you have 802.3af POE.
When using a Wi-Fi network use a 12 V adapter. The ZA 3500 does not ship with a 12V power adapter.

Set the network of the zone anchor

Log in to the ZA 3500 $sensolus-ZA-3500-Tracking-Solution-To-Streamline- FIG- $3$$

Get the password for this zone anchor in the Sensolus platform: Admin => Infrastructure. Then click on this specific zone anchor.
On your internet browsers navigate to http://192.168.99.1.
Login. Leave the user name is is, and enter the password you received from the Sensolus platform

Connect the ZA 3500 to the internet Via dedicated Wi-Fi network:

By default, the gateway emits local Wi-Fi network with SSID called GW-{MAC Address}.
The MAC address can be found at the back of the device.
On your computer, connect to that SSID and navigate to http://192.168.99.1.

The downside of using Wi-Fi is that your computer will now be disconnected from the internet.

**Via LAN

If there is Ethernet with DHCP, you can plug in the ethernet cable. Then, browse to the IP address to get the same interface.
To find out the IP address: Look up in your local network router list of connected devices, if you have access.
First use the Wi-Fi method to login into the admin web interface, and then note the Ethernet IP address. (In the Network tab, ethernet with DHCP must be enabled there).
For ethernet, DHCP (=automatically get an IP) or static address can be configured.
Select “Ethernet” toggle.
Whether it is DHCP or static, enter the settings of your network.

Via own Wi-Fi

TBD
When there is no Wi-Fi or LAN a 4G dongle can set up a Wi-Fi network. We have recommondations how to set this up.
