Configure the Gateway
The IoT Gateway administrative settings are automatically configured on installation. The server_iotgateway service is configured from the Settings sections of the Administration menu. This is where Java settings and gateway-level changes may be made. Generally, these settings do not need to be adjusted once established for the IoT Gateway to function properly. If the settings need to be adjusted, access the IoT Gateway system settings by right-clicking on the Administration icon located in the system tray and selecting Settings | IoT Gateway. The agents and tags themselves are configured from the IoT Gateway section of the user interface.
 |
If the Administrative icon is not in the system tray, re-launch Settings... by navigating to the Administration folder from the Start menu.

In the Connection area:
Port: specifies the TCP/IP port that the server runtime and configuration use to communicate with the gateway service. The valid range is 1024 to 65535. The Default button populates the field with the default port number of 57212, configured by the server.
| | Tips: 1. The default port is recommended unless there is a conflict with another application using that port. 2. Before changing the port setting, verify there is no conflict with the new port number. 3. The gateway service does not accept remote connections, so there should be no firewall implications associated with this port assignment. |
In the Java area:
Use latest installed version of the JRE locates and utilizes the newest JRE installed on the system when the IoT Gateway starts.
To specify a specific JRE, de-select this option and enter the path to the JRE or use the Browse (...) button to locate the JRE.
| | If Use latest installed version of the JRE is selected and the Java version is updated on the machine, the gateway service automatically starts using the updated version the next time the gateway is started. If this option is disabled, the gateway service continues to use the specified version. |
| | If Use latest installed is selected and the Java version is updated on the machine, the gateway service automatically starts using the updated version the next time the gateway is started. If this option is disabled, the gateway service continues to use the specified version. |
Advanced Settings... allow Java-specific settings to be used. These settings should only be changed if instructed by Technical Support.
