Before you perform the AG52 device setup, ensure the device is active in the Samsara dashboard and review the instructions for Asset Gateway (AG) Installation on Powered Assets. By default, Samsara assigns a Trailer asset type for AG52 installations. For equipment installations, you must reassign the AG to an Equipment asset type to enable equipment-specific features and to properly track engine hours.
To perform the AG52 device setup, select from one the setup options:
You can connect the AG52 directly to a powered asset to initiate an automatic setup (recommended). To perform the device setup utilizing the power from the asset:
-
Install AG52 on Equipment or a Dry-Van Trailer. Ensure all connections are secure and the asset is actively supplying power to the AG52.
The LED flashes green every 3 seconds for up to 5 minutes while the device attempts to check in with the Samsara dashboard. After the device determines status, the LED displays a color LED for 5 seconds to indicate the connection status. To surface the most recent check-in information to the Samsara dashboard, double-press the setup button.
-
Perform the action that corresponds to the observed solid LED behavior:
Status: Unsuccessful connection: Cellular connection fail, GPS fail
-
Ensure that the device is outside and avoid obstructions such as underground structures, heavily insulated buildings, bridges, and trees.
-
Ensure that the device has a clear view of the sky and is within cellular range.
-
Press and hold the button for 1-2 seconds and perform the action that corresponds to the observed LED behavior.
Status: Partial connection: Cellular connection OK, GPS fail
-
-
For equipment installations, you must configure the Auxiliary Inputs to track engine hours if you connected the Green/White wire (Input 0) during installation. See Install AG52 on Equipment or a Dry-Van Trailer to review the equipment installation instructions.
-
To track the asset as equipment and to review reassignment options, see Asset Gateway (AG) Asset Type Assignment.
-
Configure the Asset Gateway Power Loss Settings.
If you are unable to perform the device setup utilizing power from the asset, you can perform a manual device setup:
-
To initiate a test ping, press and hold the button on the AG faceplate until the LED illuminates green, for no more than 2-3 seconds.
Warning
If you press the setup button for more than 4 seconds, the device will reboot. If the device reboots, wait five minutes before you restart the test ping in this step.
