Step 1: Access IoT Gateway on the left sidebar then click Add button in IoT Gateway / List.

Step 2: Fill in fields in the General tab.

• Gateway Name is mandatory and unique.

• Enabled / Disabled toggle: allow users to adjust the connection status to the connected broker.

  • Enabled: system will send data via D2C jobs & receive commands from cloud via C2D jobs.

  • Disabled: system cannot send data to cloud & receive commands from cloud. All the enabled jobs will not be connected to the Cloud & display connection status Error

Step 3: Fill in fields in the Specification tab.

• Protocol: the protocol that the user wants to use to connect from the Data Collector application to the cloud. There are 3 supported protocols: MQTT, AMQP and COAP. The default is MQTT.

• Host: the host of the cloud.

• Port: the ports that the Data Collector application will use to connect to the users' Cloud. There are 3 default ports for 3 different protocols: MQTT is 1883, AMQP is 5672 and COAP is 5683.

Step 4: Fill in fields in the Timing tab.

• Connect timeout: maximum time waiting for Data Collector to start and create a connection to device - socket timeout (range 1-30 seconds, default 3 seconds).

• Attempt Before Timeout: number of times retry before the status of Jobs displays "Error". Value range: (1-10, default 3), apply for connect timeout.

Step 5: Click Save.

After creating the IoT Gateway successfully, users can see the device in the Gateway List.
