  This article will guide the user in setting up the Worldsensing CMT Edge to iTwin IoT MQTT connection.

  This article will cover the following topics:

  • CMT Edge Setup
  • ITwin IoT CMT Edge Connection

  CMT Edge Setup

  Loadsensing gateway and device configuration is performed through the CMT Edge application. Set up all projects and devices within the CMT Edge application. Please contact Worldsensing support with any questions regarding CMT Edge login or Gateway and Device configuration.

  

  Setting Up CMT Edge MQTT Push

  MQTT Push will need to be enabled within CMT Edge.

Ensure that the input text string"Enable MQTT Push" and "Send keep-alive data" checkboxes are enabled. For the password input, reach out to Bentley Support.
  

  

  Once configuration is complete, click "Save configuration" at the end of the page.

  Retrieving CMT Edge Data 

  Once configured, the connection is ready to be set up in iTwin IoT. There are a few pieces of information to gather from the CMT Edge site for input into the iTwin IoT setup.
  
  

  1. Network ID- The Network ID can be located within the Networks page of the CMT Edge application.

  

  2. Gateway ID- The Gateway ID can be found by navigating to the Status Bar and clicking on the Gateway Status. The Gateway ID will be listed in the following page.

  4. Password- Collect the password used for logging into CMT Edge application.

  

  ITwin IoT CMT Edge Connection

  With the information gathered from the Edge application, the Edge connection in iTwin IoT can be set up. 

  

  1. Within the application, begin by navigating to the Connectivity Module. 

  2. Click on the "+Connection" icon.

  

  3. Select Worldsensing from the available Connections list on the left sidebar.

  4. Click the "Select" icon on the CMT Edge (via MQTT) tile.

  

  5. Network ID- Input the Network ID from step 1 of the previous section.

  6. Gateway ID- Input the Gateway ID retrieved in step 2 of the previous section.

  7. Username- Input your CMT Edge username used for logging into the application, outlined previously in step 3.

  8. Password- Input your CMT Edge password used for logging into the application,  outlined previously in step 4.

  Click "Next" once all information has been input. Click "Apply" in the following "Edit Configuration" page of the connection.
