Pair the SCS Controller with a Gateway
Make a 1-to-1 association between a SCS Controller and a Gateway with Field app.
Before you start
Follow these steps if the OEM hasn't already made the 1-to-1 association between the SCS Controller and a Gateway during installation.
Gateway
- Ensure you are in a location with a clear cellular network signal to set up and upload data to the Cloud.
- Make sure the Gateway is powered OFF when you start.
Field app
- You will need a user role with permission to manage pairing with other AoFrio hardware. This can be
granted through User Roles within AoFrio’s User Manager software. - Field app must be version 5.28 or later. You can check the Field app version from the menu within the app and download the latest version if required.
- Your device must have an active internet connection to perform this configuration
SCS Controller
- Power ON the Controller to start.
- The SCS Controller firmware must be FW version 4020 or later.
Pairing steps
- To pair the SCS Controller with a Gateway, go to Field app and select the SCS Controller from the list of visible devices and click CONNECT.
NOTE: The list of available devices is filtered by your activation permission. Devices you are not authorized to connect to will not display. - Open the main menu and select SCS SETUP.
- Click EDIT in the relevant rows to add details for the ASSET #, COOLER MODEL, and MANUFACTURER SERIAL #. Leaving the ASSET # field empty means the device will not be tracked.
- Click EDIT in the row for Gateway serial #. Either:
- Type in the Gateway serial number OR
- Scan the QR code by clicking SCAN BARCODE.
- Click SAVE to complete the configuration. You are ready to “power up” the Gateway. If it is already plugged in, unplug for at least 2 minutes then plug in again and “power on” for it to download the latest configuration.
