Apply the configuration

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

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

  • Apply the configuration by downloading the file, 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. On the Device configurations tab, click New configuration in the top-right corner to add a configuration.

  3. SelectGateway.

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

  5. Create your configuration file.

  6. At the bottom of the left navigation menu, click Save.

    The Apply configuration modal window displays where you can select File transfer or Barcode scan.

  7. Select Barcode scan to apply the configuration by scanning the Configuration barcode.

    The configuration barcode is displayed.

  8. Click Done.

    Your configuration displays in the list of Configurations.

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.

  • Only configurations with 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 configuration.

    The modal Apply configuration via window displays.

  3. Select Barcode Scan.

    The configuration barcode is displayed.

  4. Click Done.

Note

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

Apply the configuration manually

  1. Within the Device Visibility menu, select Configurations → Device configuration.

  2. Click the menu button next to your configuration and select Apply configuration.

  3. The Apply configuration modal window displays where you can select File transfer or Barcode scan.

  4. Select File transfer to download the configuration file.

    A .proconfig file downloads to your desktop with the selected configuration.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  9. 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 tab.

  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.

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

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

  • 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.
