Gateway configuration
The Gateway configuration page allows you to add and manage Asset Gateways. Asset Gateways function like IoT Gateways, rather than as traditional network gateways. For a network scan on the Inbox page, an onboarded Asset Gateway is required.
1 Every row contains the information about one Asset Gateway.

Access group column
Access groups structure your assets or restrict access to specific assets for certain users.
In the List settings of the Asset list, enable the Access group column to see the Access group entries for each asset.
If the Access group feature is not used, leave the Access group column entries untouched. All Asset Gateways are automatically in the default Access group.
If Access groups are used, assigning users to Access groups can only be made by IAH administrator users. The Access group of an Asset Gateway can be changed by renaming it.
Note: If the rename creates a new Access group the asset will disappear till the user is assigned to the new Access group.
For further information, please refer to the Access management page.
Rename an Access group entry
- Click on the desired Access group entry.
- Enter the Access group name and press Enter.
Asset gateway details
Detailed information about any Asset Gateway can be found in the Asset gateway details.
- Click on the three dots on the far left of a row, then click View details.
-
Clicking the three dots of a different asset opens its Asset details and closes the previous one in the process.
