Configure Remote Manager connectivity settings

XBee Industrial Gateway is compatible with the Remote Manager device and data management platform. Remote Manager provides a mechanism to do more advanced device configuration than is generally possible from the XBee Industrial Gateway web interface. Once the device has established network connectivity to Remote Manager, you can manage the device remotely using the Remote Manager interface.

Remote Manager connectivity is enabled by default. When you power on XBee Industrial Gateway in any network, it attempts to connect to a Remote Manager server.

The only time you need to change any Remote Manager configuration settings are under the following circumstances:

• You want to change the instance of Remote Manager to which XBee Industrial Gateway is connected. See Connect to a different instance of Remote Manager.
• XBee Industrial Gateway operates in a network with firewalls. In this case, you will need to configure a proxy server. See Configure a proxy server.

The basic Device Cloud Configuration settings allow you to enable or disable the connection to the Remote Manager server used for managing the XBee Industrial Gateway device, configure the Remote Manager server, and configures the proxy server, if used. The Advanced Settings configure additional behaviors for the Remote Manager connection, including connect and disconnect behaviors, protocol details, and use of keepalives for the connection. The default settings for Remote Manager remote management usually work for most situations.
