This article describes how to associate a gateway with a sub-device.

Prerequisites

  • A product and a device are created in IoT Platform for the gateway. The Node Type is set to Gateway device. For more information, see Create a product and Create a device.
  • A product and a device are created in IoT Platform for the sub-device. The Node Type is set to Gateway sub-device. A gateway connection protocol is specified. For more information, see Create a product and Create a device.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the IoT Platform console.
  2. On the Overview page, find the instance and click the instance name to go to the Instance Details page.
    Notice Enterprise Edition instances are available only in the China (shanghai) and Japan (Tokyo) region. If your IoT Platform is not activated in the China (shanghai) or Japan (Tokyo) region, skip this step.
    Overview
  3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Devices > Devices.
  4. On the Devices page, find the gateway device and then click View in the Actions column. The Device Details page appears.
  5. Choose Sub-device Management > Add Sub-device.
  6. In the dialog box that appears, select the sub-device to be associated, and then click OK.

Result

On the Sub-device management tab, you can perform the following operations:

  • Click View in the Actions column to go to the Sub-equipment details page. You can then view the information about the sub-device.
  • Click Delete in the Actions column to remove the sub-device from the gateway.
    Note This operation deletes the topological relationship between the sub-device and the gateway, but does not delete the sub-device.
