# Linking a node

* Connect to the gateway as described in [Connect to the gateway](/win-gateway-installation-manual/gateway-configuration/connect-to-the-gateway.md).
* Go to “System Configuration”->”Devices”.

This view shows linked and unlinked devices that the gateway can see over the radio. Note that if the gateway is restarted or rebooted, this list is initially empty and is only populated with the nodes that are detected in the radio network. In the view above, one unlinked EDS2041 node is shown.

* To link an unlinked node to the gateway, click the unlinked node. A popup dialogue will appear:

* Click Ok to start the linking process. The LED inside the node will blink constantly until the node is linked with the gateway. It will blink sporadically a few times after the node is linked.
* After linking the node is shown in Linked Devices group:

If the gateway can see more linked or un-linked nodes, they are all listed here.

If any node is already linked to another gateway, it is not shown on the list.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/win-gateway-installation-manual/link-unlink-node-with-gateway/linking-a-node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
