2.4 Inserting a micro SD Card

On the bottom of the device you find a slot for a micro SD card. You can save your gateway configuration data to a
storage card and reload it from here in case your device settings have been accidentally corrupted.

Note

The micro SD card is not included in the delivery.  When selecting a micro SD card bear in mind the
range of the operating temperature of the dataFEED Gateway. The storage capacity of the micro SD
card may not exceed 32 GB.

  

1.

Remove the card slot cover on the bottom of the device.

2.

Insert the micro SD card carefully into the slot until the card clicks into place.

3.

Place the cover back on the housing.

4.

Open the user interface of the gateway and check if the micro SD card is recognized by the device (see 

Configuration and Login

).
