Adding your gateway to your account
Before deploying the Gateway, you need to claim it,
name it, and make it your own. To do this you need to
register and log on to your account in the FreeWave Data
Portal at portal.modusense.com or within the
ModuSense® Mobile App (Apple and Android). Once
logged in, you can use the ‘Claim a Device’ function to
adopt the Gateway.
To do this you will need the unique, one-time Claim
Token – found on the card included in the box. Once
successfully claimed, the Gateway will appear in the
Devices > OEM menu. From this device configuration
screen you can edit the device details and view the
messages sent from the device to the satellite
connection.
Setting up your gateway
To configure your Fusion Satellite hardware, you’ll need a
computer running Windows and a USB-C cable to connect
to the device.
Connect the antennas and power
The Fusion Satellite device requires two antennas for
operation: a GPS antenna and a satellite antenna. The
ideal mounting situation of both antennas is outdoors,
and a minimum of 5 feet away from any other RF noise
source (other electronics, active power cables, etc.). It is
also preferable that the satellite antenna be mounted
perpendicular to a
ground plane,
meaning the mounting
point is a conductive surface, ideally connected to an
electrical ground. A mounting point such as a metal
enclosure box or antenna mount is sufficient.
Please note: If your installation cannot provide this ground
plane, or if your Fusion Satellite is installed in a high-RF-noise
environment such as an urban environment, you may require
a more powerful antenna. Please contact your Sales
representative or FreeWave support through
https://support.freewave.com/ to procure such an antenna,
or to obtain help with your installation.

Follow these steps to connect the antennas:
1.
Screw the connector of the GPS antenna into the
SMA connector labeled “ANT 2” on the faceplate of
the Fusion Satellite device
2.
If it isn’t already, connect the SMA adapter to the
end of the satellite antenna
3.
Screw one end of the coax cable into the SMA
connector labeled “ANT 1” on the faceplate of the
Fusion Satellite device.
