Provisioning a Netrunr B24E Gateway

Provisioning is a one-time step to add a Netrunr gateway to your account:

  • Start Netrunr app.
  • Using your account credentials, sign-in into your account.
  • Select Gateways.




  • Using the micro-USB cable, power up the Netrunr Gateway. The micro-USB port is located at the back of the gateway. Any 5V, 0.5A USB power supply can be used as a power source for the gateway.
  • Monitor the blue color status LED on the front of the gateway.
  • The gateway requires about 30 seconds to boot-up. During this phase, the blue status LED will transition from steady light to fast blink to finally slow blink (one second ON and one second OFF).
  • The slow blink state of the status LED indicates that the gateway is in the Provisioning State.
  • With the gateway in the Provisioning State, select Scan for Netrunr Gateways button in the app.



  • Wait a few moments for the scan to complete.
  • Any newly discovered gateways that are Unregistered to any accounts will be listed under Unregistered.
  • Select the gateway.
  • A Gateway Registration confirmation box will be displayed.
  • Select OK to Register the gateway.
  • If you do not see your gateway listed, verify that the gateway is in the Provisioning State and run the scan again. This step uses the Bluetooth radio for configuration. Your gateway has to be within the Bluetooth range.

You have now Registered your Netrunr gateway.
