Use the Gateway wizard to create an Axeda® Gateway asset entry in the Platform, and to view or modify an existing gateway asset entry as selected in the Gateway search page. If you want to add the actual assets that will communicate through this gateway to the Axeda Platform, click the Gateway Configuration page link.
The Gateway wizard prompts you for each configuration value you need to create a gateway asset in the Platform in the following pages:
o Gateway Definition - specify the name, serial number, model and time zone for this gateway asset.
o Gateway Organization - specify the organization and location of that organization for this gateway asset. If you do not see the organization you want, click Create new organization, and add the organization and location information requested to create the organization. If you see the organization but not the location you want, click Create new location and create an address for the organization.
o Gateway Asset Groups - specify the asset group(s) in which this gateway asset is configured.
o Gateway Contacts - specify the contacts and their relationships to this gateway asset.
o Gateway Properties - specify properties specific to this gateway asset.
o Confirmation - for the configuration specified for the gateway asset, save the gateway asset as configured to the Platform; otherwise, change the properties before saving or cancel the gateway asset configuration altogether.
