Gateway Installation
To install the device gateway navigate to /system/internetOfThings/apps?DeviceGatewayTable.view=Default in your Fuuz site or search for Fuuz Apps in the search bar. This will take you to the page where you can download the .exe for the gateway application.
Fuuz Apps Page
This screen will show you the links grouped by the release channel, version, and architecture. You will need to download the version of the gateway the corresponds to the version of the Fuuz site you want to connect to. If you are trying to connect to build.company.fuuz.app you will need to download the build version. Download the Production version if your site is a production site like company.fuuz.app
Running the Installer
Once you have downloaded the correct exe to the machine you wish to run the device gateway, start the executable to be prompted for some basic configuration info. You will need admin rights to install the gateway.
The first screen will ask you if you want to run the gateway as a service or just an application. Unless you have a specific reason to not install the service it is recommended to leave the defaults and install both.
Next it will ask you where to install the application. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Fuuz Device Gateway. One thing to note is that regardless of where you choose to install the app, logs will be stored at C:\Fuuz Device Gateway
Once this step is complete the installer will finish install the application.
You should be able to see the gateway running in the Windows Service Manager
Logging In
After your initial installation of the Fuuz Gateway you need to initiate the service by following these steps to get it logged in / authenticated to your Fuuz.app site
The gateway needs to be logged into the Fuuz site before it can be used to connect to devices.
Open your favorite browser and navigate to localhost:5500 OR click here: Launch Fuuz Gateway
API Key
If you have an API Key generated from the Fuuz site Link to generating api keys you will use that api key log the gateway into the fuuz cloud site.
Once you logged in you should be presented a screen like the following.
Installing Drivers
By default the gateway has no device drivers loaded and each driver needs to be installed
To install drivers go to the gateway management interface by opening a browser and navigating to localhost:5500. On the left side there will be a tab for drivers that look like a plug
Once selected you will be presented with a screen that has a list of all the available drivers.
To install a drivers
Select the checkbox next to the drivers you wish to install
Click the download button
Migrating to the Windows Service
If you are presently using a version of the gateway that is named “MFGx” gateway - or is a numbered version but does not follow the release pattern of YYYY.MM.VV you must upgrade to the current LTS version which you can find in the “Fuuz Apps” screen within your Fuuz site.
To migrate to the windows service all you will need to do is run the windows service installer and install the needed drivers. As long as its being installed on the same machine then it will look exactly the same to the fuuz site and pull down all of the devices with their configurations.
Its important to note that you can NOT have both the user application and the windows version of the applications running at the same time. It will cause issues and result in unexpected behavior. Its is recommended to uninstall the application version off of the machine running the windows service.
