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

  1. 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.
  2. Open the main menu and select SCS SETUP.
  3. 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.
  4. Click EDIT in the row for Gateway serial #. Either:
    • Type in the Gateway serial number OR
    • Scan the QR code by clicking SCAN BARCODE.
  5. 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.
