Configuration (Swan App)
Connect to the device
Download and open the “NFC Configurator” app (Only for Android) and place the NFC touchpoint of your Android device directly over the NFC touchpoint of the gateway. The NFC touchpoint is centered on the front of the device.
If the connection is successful, you will be asked to enter your password. The default password is 0123. This default password should be changed later.
After the password has been entered correctly, you will be asked to reconnect and the main menu of the app will be displayed.

Configuration (Galooli Solution)
Open the Galooli Software solution and log in.
Open the “Manager” application >> My units >> Create a new unit or clone of an existing unit with the same settings.
Additionally to the basic configurations described here, there are some specific and important configurations that need to be performed for the Swan gateway.
Configuration Tab
You must write the correct layout >> under the Device Configuration menu, write "IOT_IP" in order to view the heat meter.
Overview Tab
It is necessary to start the Swan gateway “ID” with the digits 20 and to then add the eight last digits of the Swan gateway IMEI taken from the gateway itself or from the "NFC Configurator" application.
Information Tab
In the "Unit" menu, select "Section: Hardware" >> Modem IMEI, this field is the actual link between the meter and the Galooli server, therefore it must contain the exact IMEI of the Swan gateway. Swan gateway IMEI should be copied from the gateway itself or from "NFC Configurator".
Due to the fact that the Swan gateway does not have an internal GPS, the location must be manually set. Click on the "Additional Information" menu >> Category “Device” >> "Section: Information" >> "Location" >> Fill in the longitude and latitude.
In order to configure the heat meters click on the “Additional Information” >> “Category: Meters” >> “Section: Meters X” >> Fill the “Key” and “Serial Number” of each meter separately.
In order to obtain the keys and serial numbers for the heat meters, please contact the manufacturer.
Save all the parameters
Meters ID Documentation
The meters ID documented in the “Information” tab >> “Unit” >> “Section: Administration” >> “Info 1”
Limitations
The Summary mechanism will calculate the period of time that has passed between two transmissions of the unit. If the period of time is greater than 75 minutes, the delta will not be taken into account.
Other types of units require a period of up to fifteen minutes between transmissions.
