After devices have been added to your Kio Cloud account, the next step is to set up and install the devices.
This step does vary by device model. Portal Lights, Portal Beams, and Anchor Beacons require set up and installation using the Kio Gateway Installer app. For tags and badges, you'll only need to verify they are powered on.

Portal Light You'll need to configure the Portal Light's local WiFi network to allow its connection to Kio Cloud and then set up and install the Portal Light locally at its install location with the Kio Gateway Installer app. Portal Light setup and install instructions. IMPORTANT: when your deployment includes Portal Lights, set up and install these devices first. |

Portal Beam Setup and installation varies by the Portal Beam mode. You'll need to follow the steps for the mode being deployed. Select the mode being deployed. |

If you did not see the LED blinking, you'll need to turn it ON. Press and hold the BLUE or RED button for 5 seconds. When you see the button LED blink, it's your confirmation the tag is ON. NOTE: continuously pressing either button may result in activating a button press event.

To program its two buttons to trigger excursion events (alerts), a policy is required to be created for each of its buttons. Policies are created and managed from the Kio Cloud Policy Foundry app. |
