Setting up your Edge Gateway

NOTE: Edge Gateway mounting options are sold separately.
NOTE: Mounting can be done before or after configuring your Edge Gateway. For more information about mounting your Edge Gateway, see Mounting your Edge Gateway.
NOTE: In some environments where the Edge Gateway may be installed, a more robust mounting method is required. For example, for mounting in marine applications, it is recommended to use only the standard— mount bracket. The recommendation is due to the presence of vibrations unique to the marine environment.
