## What it covers

HID Linq Cloud + Mercury Security controllers + HID Signo readers — install and setup, start to finish:

- Enable a Linq technician in HID Origo
- Download &amp; install HID Linq Gateway
- Configure Linq for Mercury
- Set up &amp; configure the controller
- Get it all ready to push firmware and config updates to Signo readers over OSDP

Bottom line: remote reader lifecycle management over OSDP — no more rolling a truck for firmware or config changes.
