Name a Gateway

Fleet Administrators can change the name of any Vehicle Gateway in their Samsara Dashboard. When you first add a gateway, the Samsara Dashboard identifies it by serial number. To make gateways easier to identify, consider renaming your gateways.

Note: Drivers will use the gateway name to select a vehicle every time they sign into the Samsara Driver app.
