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 the Kontakt.io device type. Stationary mounted devices, including the Portal Light, Portal Beam, and Anchor Beacon 2, must be set up and installed using the Kio Setup Manager app. For those moving devices, including tags and badges (Asset Tag 2, Smart Badge, and Nano Tag) you'll only need to verify they are powered on.
Topics include:
You'll need to configure each Portal Light with the facility'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 Setup Manager app.
Portal Light setup and install instructions.
IMPORTANT: when your deployment includes Portal Lights, be sure to set up and install these devices first.

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.

An Anchor Beacon arrives powered ON.
NOTE: if you notice a yellow tab extended out from the top of the Anchor Beacon, this is a battery separator tab. To power on the beacon, remove this tab.

An Asset Tag arrives powered ON.
To verify an Asset Tag is ON, press and quickly release the BLUE or RED button and verify you see its LED blink for a few seconds.
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. If you do not see an LED flashing after a button press, do not press a button for 5 seconds to allow the device to clear the previous button 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.
