5
The CloudMesh Satellite will start initialising, the LED will be solid purple.
6
Wait 10 minutes as the CloudMesh Satellite attempts to pair with the CloudMesh
Gateway, the LED will flash blue.
7
When the satellite has been paired with the gateway the LED will be solid white or blue,
depending on the signal strength.
If the LED is solid red, this means the signal is poor.
Important – Reposition the Satellite closer to the Gateway.
