When you first add a gateway, the Samsara Dashboard identifies it by serial number. To make gateways easier to identify, consider assigning your gateways a meaningful name. Drivers will use the gateway name to select a vehicle every time they sign into the Samsara Driver App.
Select the Settings icon (
) at the bottom of your Fleet menu to view dashboard settings.In Devices > Devices > Gateways, select the gateway you want to rename.
-
Click Rename at the top of the Gateways table. Alternatively, click the settings menu ( ... ) in the row of your gateway to view and edit all gateway settings.
Enter a New name to identify the gateway.
Save your changes. The Dashboard displays the gateway using the new name.
Configure additional gateway settings, as needed: For example, you can enter a VIN or odometer reading if the engine does not automatically provide that information to the gateway.
As you upgrade or decommission existing vehicles or assets, you can easily reassign your gateways to new vehicles or assets. From the gateway settings, you can also identify unpaired gateways. An unpaired gateway is a gateway that is not associated with a vehicle.
For very specific cases, you can remove a gateway (and it’s associated data) from your organization. If you require historical or compliance information from a gateway, it is recommended to retain the gateway. You can also export a list of current gateways with related information about assigned vehicles and (if used) cameras.
To unpair a gateway:
Select the Settings icon (
) at the bottom of your Fleet menu to view dashboard settings.Select Devices > Devices > Gateways.
Locate the gateway you want to unpair. If necessary, use the search or tags to reduce the number of results. To select multiple gateways, select the checkbox next to the gateway or select all by checking the box at the top of the list.
(Optional) If you plan to pair the gateway to a new vehicle, note the serial number for the gateway that you deactivated which will be used later in the workflow.
Select the action menu (...) in the gateway row or, if you select multiple gateways, proceed to the next step.
Select Deactivate Gateway.
If you are ready to pair the gateway with a new vehicle, select + Activate Devices. Paste the serial number you copied earlier in the workflow. Samsara retains all drive data for this vehicle and ports the data to the new vehicle.
Select the action menu (...) in the gateway row.
Select Settings > Enter the Vehicle Name > and select Save.
