• client_id_fields: This is a list of values which will be appended
to the base client_id_prefix with dashes. Possible values:
“mac-wired”, “model-number”, “serial-number-board” and
“serial-number-unit”. See example table below:
• *publish_message_topic: This is the topic your device will push
its messages to; it will be used to receive messages in AWS.
• subscribe_conf_topic: This is the topic your device will receive
messages from, and is used to change settings remotely. If
you will not be configuring settings remotely, this can be left
blank.
• publish_conf_topic: The IP gateway will send an up-to-date
copy of your configuration settings after each modification.
This can be the same as subscribe_conf_topic.
• *discovery_mode: If true, this will activate discovery mode and
send messages on your defined publish_discovery_topic. This
feature times out after 30 minutes and must be reactivated.
• *publish_discovery_topic: Messages from unregistered
devices will transmit on this topic.
• qos: This stands for quality of service and is a part of MQTT. It
will be an integer (0 or 1). A setting of 1 is recommended in
most cases. This impacts most messages, but discovery mode
messages always use a QOS of 0. A QOS of 2 is not currently
supported by AWS, and cannot be used here.
• *txids: This is a list of txids to collect messages from.
• batching: If true, this sends messages in groups to save
resources. This is recommended, as otherwise each message
will be transmitted separately.
• reporting_format: This can be JSON or bytearray. Most of the
time it will be JSON.
Note:
We suggest making a copy of this file once it is complete and
updating the file as changes are made remotely. This will give you
a backup of all settings.

Referring to the IP gateway’s installation instructions,
use the
USB flash drive to boot the IP gateway. The IP gateway should
now be connected to AWS.
• The orange connection light on the IP gateway should light
and remain illuminated after booting completes.
