1. Add your first device
Assuming that you have correctly set up the Gateway and that it’s working correctly, the next big step for us is to link your first device which is wired to the Polar Gateway.
Note: If this is a new Gateway it will not show any devices, if this is an existing gateway and you are altering the setup, the existing devices will be listed in the table.

Click either of the two buttons to add a new device.

1.1. Select the device type which you want to add.
Choose the device model you have wired to the Gateway.
1.2. Insert the Sensor Number of your device.
This would correspond to the Modbus UnitID or Serial Network ID or Slave ID settings programmed on the device. (This number has to be unique per device connected to the gateway).
1.3. Insert the name of the device you are liking.
Please make this a relevant and meaningful name as this will be used to identity the device in the future.
1.4. Insert device description.
Add details about the device, what it does, model number, serial number do, or any other additional information about the device you are adding. (Optional)
Then hit the “LINK DEVICE” button.

After linking a device succcessfully, it will be shown in the list. Make sure the status of the device is not showing an error. If it does make sure the Serial Communications Settings are correctly set. (Click on the ? button to get device specific communication help.
