Installing Asset Gateway for CalAmp LMU 5000 (Discontinued)

This page describes how to download and install the deviceWISE Asset Gateway for CalAmp LMU 5000 product on a CalAmp LMU 5000 system.

The following is assumed:

  • You have the CalAmp LMU 5000
  • You have an Ethernet cable

  • You have a Management Portal user ID and password and know how to log on. You need this to download the Asset Gateway installation files from the Management Portal.
    If you need a Management Portal account, see Creating the deviceWISE Cloud account.
    If you received the installation files from your Telit representative, you can skip the download steps and proceed with Running the install program.
