SAM4 setup tool

The next step of SAM4's installation is to use the SAM4 setup tool to verify if the gateway and DAQ has been installed correctly and if it can connect to the Samotics cloud. The SAM4 setup tool is meant for installation optimization, configuration, and troubleshooting. Moreover, it can be used to set up non-4G connections via WiFi or ethernet. 

The setup tool is only accessible through a direct, local connection via a laptop.
