Perform the following workflow to activate and install the Asset Gateway with the CBL-AG-BCT14 cable.
-
If you have not already done so, activate the device in the Samsara dashboard using one of the following methods:
-
Activate your device with the Samsara Fleet App (see Streamline Hardware Installation with the Samsara Fleet App). You can also confirm cable compatibility with your vehicle by scanning or manually entering the VIN for the vehicle.
-
Go to https://cloud.samsara.com/activate or click the link in your
Order Shippedemail.

-
Locate the diagnostic port, typically behind or below the driver dashboard.
For assistance locating the port, consult your equipment manual or dealership.
-
Remove the port from the back of the panel and connect the Samsara main diagnostic connector, twisting to lock until it clicks.
Ensure all cables are clear of pedals, steering linkages, and other moving parts.
-
Reinstall the unconnected port into its original location in the vehicle.
Verify once again that all cables are safely routed away from moving components.
-
Assemble the washer onto the connector housing and secure it with the nut when mounting to a plate or panel.
-
Connect the cable to the Asset Gateway. For more information, see Install AG52/AG53 on Powered Equipment.

Mount the Asset Gateway in a location that allows for cable clearance and satellite visibility.
Tip
Avoid enclosed metal environments like trailers, as these may block cellular and GPS signals.
