Hardware Installation
Step 1
Take note of the Module ID next to the
input cable, and the desk location /
Friendly name of the unit.
Step 2
Fix the power modules in place and
power up. If the Gateway is not yet
connected then the LED on the module
will ash RED. This will resolve itself in
the next step.
Step 3
Connect Gateways to a network with
internet connection and connect power
supply. Make a note of the Gateway
Mac Address and PIN for use in Step 4.
Step 4
Register the Gateway online at https://
dashboard.cmdfootprint.co.uk
Click register Gateway and complete
the form.
Step 5
Once completed, access the Dashboard
by logging in and the Gateway will have
appeared. The modules may take up to
2 minutes to appear on the Dashboard,
wait until all are visable.
Step 6
Access Options on the Dashboard (Page
18) and on the Dashboard LOCK the
Gateways. This will lock down all the
modules to this Gateway and will not
be accessible by others.
Start up Hints
• When logged in, be sure to check/
update the currency settings for
correct measurements on new
data collected.
• Setting zones and groups up early
will help applying schedules and
reporting on units.
• Be sure to note what MAC
addresses for units are where to
help give units friendly names.

Login/Registration Screen
On the Dashboard login screen you are able to either login to your personalised Dashboard, or if
this is the rst time accessing, the Gateway(s) will need to be registered.
Click on the ‘Register Gateway’ link to move to the registration page.
Once the details have been completed the user will be greeted by the following message:
Congratulations your account has now been created.
If you have not yet plugged in your Gateway please do so now.
As you begin to plug in your Footprint power modules, they will appear on the
dashboard.
To start with, the power modules will be placed in the Unassigned Zone and Group.
Please assign your power modules into an appropriate Zone and Group.
For example, your Zone may be ground oor, rst oor, or second oor.
Groups could be Help Desk, I.T Department, Sales, or Support.
Once completed, the Gateway will appear (once connected) on the Dashboard after you log in.
If the mobile app is used (page 11) then new modules will be listed in the ‘Conrm Unit Names’
section.
