Edit Gateways

Configuration and settings changes.

Intro

The edit gateway feature allows users to edit the configuration values of a gateway. Editing configuration values might be necessary if the user wants to change the name of the gateway or to replace a faulty gateway by updating the MAC address to match the address of the replacement gateway.

Editing configuration

Go to the home view by clicking in the ubiworx logo or the icon.
In the gateway side navigation click on the Edit button under the Configuration section.
Select the gateway you want to edit from the dropdown menu.
Amend the required fields.
Save changes:

Using the button, the changes are saved on the ubiworx broker and will be synced the next time the device reconnects or at the keepalive interval.
Using the button, the changes are saved on the ubiworx broker and a sync request is sent to the gateway.

Note:

Any of the configuration fields can be edited except for the gateway Unique ID.
