MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
SKF Enlight Collect gateway
SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 System
User Manual
Revision F
• ‘Bluetooth’, the user chooses from a list of gateways that are in range
The user can at this point, select ‘decommission’.
• App shows confirmation of successful decommissioning or error
Decommissioning sets the gateway back to a factory default state:
• disables the network and mesh radio interfaces
• erases configuration, measurement and event data stored on the gateway
and the sensor firmware package
• Clear the device Hardware ID: that physical gateway can no longer connect
to @ptitude Observer.
Notes:
The current gateway firmware is maintained, not reverted.
The steps taken above in @ptitude Observer and on site using the app are
independent and any one action can be taken without the other with no significant
consequences. Any one action will stop the measurement data flow from that
machine, or machines, to @ptitude Observer. Until the Hardware ID is cleared
another gateway cannot replace the earlier unit and until it is replaced or the ID
cleared, some errors may be logged due to the loss of connection with the
decommissioned gateway.
Also note that measurement data already transferred to @ptitude Observer remains
available.
To decommission a gateway, follow the guidance above. Using the Delete button to
remove a gateway is different and should not be actioned without recognising that it
has the following implications:
• Associated relay sensors will be deleted.
• Gateways cannot be deleted without first unlinking them from associated
machines.
• Unlinking a gateway from a machine requires any commissioned sensors to
be deleted first, thereby losing any associated measurement data.
• DO NOT delete a virtual gateway if the physical gateway is still
commissioned and working, as it will be impossible for the app to connect to
that gateway afterwards to decommission it (due to security requirements for
accessing commissioned gateways). If this happens, the only way to recover
the gateway is to factory reset it.
4.2.4 Replacement
Gateway replacement may be required if a faulty or damaged gateway is identified. A
specific feature/function for gateway replacement is not included in this release,
replacement is achieved by decommissioning the old gateway and then
commissioning the new gateway.
