1. A RediGate 100 or 400 series device with internet connectivity
2. Completion of the Getting Started Guide for your respective RediGate device (RediGate 100 Series or RediGate 400 Series)
3. Azure IoT Hub account (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/iot-hub/). In this example, you will obtain from Azure:
   → Azure IoT Hub account / Hostname
   → Device ID of the registered device
   → SAS Token
4. Ability to ping the internet (using DNS, so an address like google.com) from your RediGate

6. Copy Table data from In the Internal Channel 15 of the Elecsys-AzureIoT-Demo .xml Internal Channel 15 → Scan Table into your RediGate Configuration (in Internal Channel, open Scan Table, rightconfiguration, open the Scan Table. Right-click and select Copy Table.
   In your configuration, open the Scan Table in Internal Channel.
   Right-click and select "Paste , Table (over-write data). "
   
   
   

    

   Info
   title Scan Table Info
   The "Scan Table" object tells the RediGate which RTU (Unit 2, the data simulator) to run at an interval (Scan Period) which is set to every 600 seconds. This is how frequently the RediGate will check the data simulator for changes, which will result in data being published every 10 minutes. You can change this to whatever number you would like, however you will want to keep an eye on the number of messages published as Azure charges on a per message basis.

7. Update your MQTT_Client configuration properties to match the parameters in your Azure IoT Hub account:

   The ${GATEWAY} parameter references the System → Unit Name value, which in the default configuration is "RediGate120E".

   You will need to change your "System → Unit , as described in the following steps:
1. In the Azure IoT Hub Device Explorer, create or obtain the information for your site's Hostname and Device ID.

   In the screenshot below, the Device ID (e.g. "RediGate120E") will be used as the Unit Name in your configuration.

2. In the "System" object at the top of the configuration, change your "Unit Name" property to match the "Device Id" of the registered device in the Azure IoT Hub
. In the screenshot below, the device ID of "RediGate120E" matches that of the default configuration

in our case   
1. in this example   /${GATEWAY}   since that is what we are using for our Device ID), such as:
   elecsysdev.

   The ${GATEWAY} parameter in MQTT Client properties is used as a variable to reference the System → Unit Name property.
   
   
8. Update the "TLS Tunnels → STUNNEL Parameters" property to match the "Hostname" property of your Azure IoT hub, followed by   :8883   such as:
   elecsysdev.azure-devices.net:8883
   
   
   
   
9. Use the Azure "Device Explorer Twin" software tool (https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdks/releases/download/2016-11-17/SetupDeviceExplorer.msi) to create a SharedAccessSignature
   1. Find the "Connection string – primary key" for the "iothubowner" user in Azure.
      
      
      
   2. Copy these credentials into the "Connection Information" section on the "Device Explorer Twin"
      
      
      
   3. Once you have a successful connection in the "Device Explorer Twin", navigate to the "Management" tab and select the appropriate Device ID, press the "SAS Token" button, set the appropriate TTL (days of validity for the device key), and click "Generate"
      
      
      
   4. Copy the highlighted section below from your SASTokenForm beginning after the ";SharedAccessSignature=".
