Efento Gateway can send the data to any server / cloud platform
Efento Gateway allows you to choose, if the communication should be encrypted (TLS) or not. If you want
the Gateway to send the data without encryption (http), switch the “TLS” toggle to “OFF”. If Efento Gateway
should send the encrypted data (https), set the “TLS” toggle to “ON”. Depending on the server settings and
communication type, select the port number, which supports the selected communication type. In the
majority of cases, encrypted communication (https) is on port 443, not encrypted communication (http) takes
place on port 80 or 8080. These settings however depend on your server and should be consulted with
server’s administrators.
If the “Synchronize with server” toggle is set to “ON” the gateway will automatically synchronise the
measurements taken by sensors with the server. If there are any disturbances in the communication,
gateway will resend the missing measurements to the server. For instance, if a sensor was out of gateway’s
range for some time, gateway will download the data from its memory and send it to the server once the
connection is reestablished. If the gateway was not able to send the data due to Internet connection issues, it
will also resend it once the connection is reestablished. If you do not want the gateway to automatically
synchronise the measurements with the server or you want it to synchronise only the measurements from the
selected sensors, set the “Synchronise with server” toggle to “OFF”. Go to the “Sensors” tab and select
measurements from which sensors should be synchronised with the server by manually setting the toggles in
the “Saving” column to “ON”.
By default, Efento Gateway sends the value from the “Token” field in http header. The default http headers
look like this:
Content-Type: application/json
charset=UTF-8
X-Api-Token: <
value of the “Token” field
>
If you want to, you can set the gateway to use custom headers. In order to do that, set the “custom headers”
toggle to “ON” and add the header name(s) and its value(s). You can add up to five custom headers.
Headers will be sent in the same order as on the headers list. “Content-Type” and “charset” headers are
always added to the headers section.
