4.2.2 Modify gateway network configuration
Whilst the network configuration of a commissioned gateway can be updated by
decommissioning and recommissioning, this has the disadvantage that the gateway
loses and then has to re-establish its sensor relationships.
To avoid this additional work and delay, the Enlight Collect Manager app provides an
UPDATE COMMISSIONING button that allows a commissioned gateway’s network
configuration to be refreshed without disturbing the sensor mesh.

4.2.3 Decommissioning
Decommissioning is required if a gateway is to be relocated or replaced as it avoids
any possibility of two similarly configured and commissioned gateways attempting to
connect with the same set of sensors. When a gateway is being replaced, never
leave it commissioned and powered in the same area, even if disconnected from the
wider network.
Like commissioning, this is a 2-step process requiring software changes and the
mobile app. Refer also the notes below.
In @ptitude Observer:
• In the IMx-1 System View, select the gateway to be decommissioned
• Clear the device Hardware ID: that physical gateway can no longer connect
to @ptitude Observer.
Assuming the gateway is responsive, on-site the mobile app is used to complete the
decommissioning of the gateway. With the gateway powered and in place, the app
can scan for and then identify the gateway via either:
• ‘QR’ (Quick Response) code
