gateway) listed in Figure 5.
Connect a client via Ethernet cable
Alternatively, you can directly connect a device, for example a printer, to the CloudMesh Satellite using an
Ethernet cable.

The Wi-Fi Security Card that ships with the CloudMesh Gateway includes your unique network name and
password. Type the information into your wireless device when connecting or scan the QR code that is
printed on the card. If you have changed the wireless network name (SSID) or password, select the wireless
network from your client and enter the chosen password instead of the details listed on the Wi-Fi Security
Card.
