At the upper-right corner, click Actions + and select New Device.
Type a name for the new device and select the site with which you want to associate the device.
In the Device Type area, add the Akiles Gateway.
Use a QR code scanner, scan the QR code on the back of the Gateway to retrieve the hardware ID number. Note that smartphone camera apps have built-in QR code scanners.
In the Device Type field, paste the hardware ID number. The Akiles app displays Device and Version information based on the hardware ID.
Click Create Device. The Akiles app creates the device representation and displays the device status. A Gateway takes a moment to connect to the Akiles server, run a firmware auto-update, and reboot.
