The IoT Gateway NG enables effortless, USB-free setup through network booting (netboot) and centralized provisioning—perfect for deploying large fleets of gateways with minimal hands-on intervention.
🛠️ At a Glance: What Happens During Provisioning?
- Live boot from the network using iPXE—no USBs, no external drives
- Automatic discovery of the netboot server via DHCP
- Runs the OS live in memory—no changes made to local disk
- Device receives IP from OT network and is instantly ready for provisioning
- No need to reconfigure manually—settings are pre-defined centrally
📋 Easy Configuration via Ansible Forms
Once the device is live-booted:
- A web interface (Ansible Forms) allows selection of:
- Base system packages
- Firewall and syslog configurations
- User credentials and shell preferences
- Tools like Dockge, Duplicati, Node-RED, etc.
- Selected options are converted into a JSON config used by an Ansible playbook
- Configuration is applied in real time, and results are fully logged
📦 Key Benefits
- ✅ Repeatable and scalable: Redeploy configurations as often as needed
- ✅ Zero-touch deployment: Ideal for remote or industrial environments
- ✅ Full traceability: See who provisioned what, when, and with which parameters
- ✅ Editable and flexible: Update previous setups directly through the form—no coding
