The process for resetting a fence node or gateway is the same as the process for removing them from the farm.
You may need to reset a node or gateway during troubleshooting. You may need to remove a node or gateway from your farm, for example if you want to use the node or gateway on a different farm or the node or gateway has been damaged and you want to remove it from the monitoring system altogether.
When resetting or removing a node or gateway, they will be reset to the original factory default settings. A fence node will be put into a sleep state while a gateway will be disconnected from the internet.
To reset or remove a node from the farm:
Go to the node.
Launch Datamars Livestock on your mobile phone.
In the main menu, tap My Devices then Fence nodes.
Tap on the node you want to remove then tap on the Settings icon.
Tap Remove node.
On the node, hold the mag key on the switch symbol for a full 10 seconds until the green, red and blue LEDs flash.
On the mobile phone, tap OK then Yes to confirm.
The node will be restored to factory default settings, be put into a sleep state and will be removed from the farm.
🤚 If the node is not being used straight away, we recommend storing the node in direct sunlight in order to conserve the battery.
