Gateway Replacement with Smart EdgeNode Recovery
When a gateway fails, EasyEdge Smart EdgeNode Recovery allows you to quickly restore operations without the need for manual backups or reconfiguration. The project configuration and license are securely stored in EasyEdge Studio, enabling a fast and seamless recovery.
This guide explains how to replace a gateway in EasyEdge Studio.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Detect Gateway Failure
In System Overview, a gateway may appear as Offline. This status indicates that the device is not connected to EasyEdge Studio.
Before starting the replacement process, always validate locally whether the issue is caused by a temporary condition (such as lack of power or internet connectivity) or if the gateway has actually failed and needs replacement.
2. Offboard the EdgeNode License
From the EdgeNode details page, open the options menu and select Offboard. This releases the license from the failed gateway and makes it available for reuse.
3. Install EasyEdge on the Replacement Gateway
Copy the installation command provided in EasyEdge Studio and run it on the new device. This starts the installation of the EdgeNode and prepares the gateway for license validation.
4. License Validation and Onboarding
The new gateway automatically registers with EasyEdge using the existing license. Once complete, the gateway appears Online in EasyEdge Studio.
5. Deploy the Project Configuration
Select Deploy Project to send the complete configuration from EasyEdge Studio to the replacement gateway.
This ensures that all assets, workflows, and application bindings are restored.
6. Verify Recovery
After deployment, confirm that the gateway is online and data flow has resumed. Your system is now fully restored.
Key Notes
The recovery process reuses the same license and configuration; no manual backups are required.
Ensure the replacement gateway meets the minimum system requirements before installation.
Recovery can be performed for both unexpected failures and planned replacements.
