Custom CA certificates
The Efento Gateway comes with several commonly used preloaded CA certificates. If you wish to use a custom CA certificate, you can upload it through the gateway by navigating to Settings > CA Certificates.
Efento Gateway supports any certificate in PEM format. For security reasons, we strongly recommend using certificates signed by a trusted Certification Authority. However, for development or demonstration purposes, you may also use a self-signed certificate.
Proxy
The Efento Gateway can connect to Efento Cloud or a third-party server through a proxy server. By default, the proxy feature is disabled. Efento Cloud supports both anonymous and non-anonymous proxy servers.
To configure proxy settings:
Go to the Settings > Proxy tab.
Select the proxy type.
Enter the server address and port.
If using a non-anonymous proxy, provide the login credentials.
These settings allow the gateway to communicate with the server securely and reliably through your network’s proxy.
Encryption
Communication between Efento loggers and the Efento Gateway can be encrypted using a user-defined key. When encryption is enabled, only devices that have the correct key can decode the transmissions and read loggers measurements.
The gateway allows you to add up to five encryption keys. Once a key is added, the gateway can decrypt and read measurements from all loggers using that same key. Encryption keys for loggers can be configured using the Efento mobile application.
Password
In the Settings > Password tab, you can change the gateway’s login password. To update the password, enter the new password twice and provide the current password for verification. It is strongly recommended to change the password during the initial gateway configuration to ensure secure access.
Reset
The Settings > Reset tab allows you to manage the gateway’s restart and factory reset functions:
Restart the Gateway: The device will power off and on again without affecting any existing settings or configurations.
Reset the Gateway: The device will restore factory default settings. All custom configurations will be lost, and the gateway will need to be reconfigured.
A factory reset can also be performed using the physical button on the back of the gateway:
Older models: Press and hold the button for 10 seconds.
Newer models: Press the button 7 times in succession.
