Configuring the HW group Ares 12 for Device Integration Platform

In order to connect the device to Device Integration Platform, use Aresconf configuration tool and follow the next steps:

  • Connect the device to the PC using the USB cable, start the Aresconf tool and choose “Advanced mode”.
  • Under “Portal”, thick “Enable Portal” and set the “Server Address” to
    hwg-agent.customer.com/HwgServAgent/rest/sendData.
  • Set the “Port” to 9099.
  • Set the “Username” as tenant/username (Device Integration Platform tenant and username)
  • Set the “Password” as password (Device Integration Platform passoword)

While you can use your personal username and password for testing, we suggest that in production you create a new user account for each device. To do this, go to the "Administration" application in Device Integration Platform, and create a new user. Set the user group to "device" to provide the correct access rights.
