Apply the configuration

There are two ways to apply the configuration to your Gateway:

  • Apply the configuration using the generated barcode on Insight Webportal - convenient if you have a small number of devices and up to 10 workflow rules per configuration

  • Apply the configuration by copying it manually onto the Gateway Mass storage device and ejecting - convenient if you have a large number of devices and in case you also want to provision the Gateway with your network credentials in a .json file

Apply the configuration via barcode

  1. On Insight Webportal, under Device Visibility, select Configurations.

  2. At the top right, click New Configuration to add a configuration.

  3. Select Gateway.

  4. Type in the name of your configuration and select Next.

  5. Create your configuration file.Create a configuration file

  6. At the bottom of the page, select Next.

    The Configuration barcode modal window displays the generated barcode.

  7. Scan the Configuration barcode.

    The configuration is applied to the Gateway and all connected scanners.

    Note

    In case you want to save the configuration barcode for later use, be aware that it expires after two hours. After that, you need to go back to your configuration and generate a new one.

  8. Select Save.

    Your configuration displays in the list of Configurations.

Note

Only configurations with approximately up to 10 Workflow Rules can be applied using a Configuration barcode due to the size limitation of the configuration content.

Apply the existing configuration via barcode

  1. In the Configurations list, click on the menu button next to your configuration.

  2. Click on Apply via Barcode.

    The modal Apply Configuration window displays the configuration barcode.

  3. Click Save.

Note

If you click Back in the Apply Configuration window, modify the configuration, and click Next again the configuration barcode will change to include the changes you made.

Apply the configuration manually

  1. On Insight Webportal, under Device Visibility, select Configurations.

  2. Select the desired configuration and click chrome_mJLQIyQafB.png or use the menu

    The selected configuration downloads to your desktop.

  3. Connect the Gateway to your desktop via USB cable.

    The Gateway boots up in about one minute and LED 1 (USB) glows green.

  4. Scan the pairing barcode on your Gateway with your scanner.

    The scanner connects to the Gateway and LED 2 (Scanner) glows green.

  5. Scan the barcode below to enable the Gateway as a Mass storage device.

    PEP_EnableMassStorage.png

    The Gateway displays as a Mass storage device on your desktop.

  6. Copy the downloaded configuration file to your Gateway Mass storage device.

  7. Eject the Gateway Mass storage device to apply the configuration.

    The configuration update takes a few seconds. The Gateway flashes green when done.

Note

Ejecting the Mass storage device may vary depending on your operating system.

Make sure to Safely Remove / Eject the Mass storage device on your desktop but do NOT disconnect the Gateway’s USB cable during upload.

Note

The configuration is applied to every scanner that connects to the Gateway. A Gateway can have only one configuration at a time.

Apply configuration remotely

Prerequisite: Configuration created.

  1. On Insight Webportal, select Devices

  2. From the Process Layout select the process level to which you want to link the configuration with.

  3. From the action menu appearing after you have selected a process level, select Settings . Alternatively you can also click on Settings on the process level card.

  4. Select the Configuration that shall be linked with the process level.

  5. At the bottom of the pop-up, select Done.

  6. Level_settings.png

    The configuration is applied to the Process Level and all Connectivity Devices linked with this process level will receive the configuration when active.

Note

In case Connectivity Devices are linked with a nested hierarchy of process levels, the process level most specific (or closest) to the Connectivity Device overrules other (higher) process levels

Note

Only one configuration can be a applied to a process level (1:1)

Note

Process levels should have single types of Connectivity Devices below (e.g. Insight Mobile and Gateway)

Note

In case you apply an Insight Mobile configuration file to a process level containing Insight Mobile and/or Gateway devices, all common settings (e.g. Scanner settings) will be applied. The behavior is vice-versa for process levels with a linked Gateway configuration

Note

In case you are using older configuration files created before the release of the Remote Configuration functionality make sure you edit and save them once before you are able to link them to process levels.

Check if the Configuration has been applied to the Connectivity Device and the Process Level

Prerequisite: Connectivity Device has the status of Connected in the Connectivity Device list

  • In the Devices list, select the Connectivity Device from the list

    The Last Configuration column shows the configuration which is currently deployed on the Connectivity Device and on the Scanner.
