Hardware and software requirements
Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100 operating requirements
Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100 works only on a Siemens SIMATIC IOT2040 device for the industrial internet of things.
To enable Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100 to receive data from the OPC UA server over the OPC UA protocol, you need to configure the data transfer settings on this server. You can read about the OPC UA protocol specification on the developer's website. Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100 version 2.0 supports OPC UA protocol version 1.04.
To enable Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100 to forward data received from the OPC UA server to the MQTT broker over the MQTT protocol, you need to configure the MQTT broker to receive data from Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100. You can read the MQTT protocol specification on the developer's website. Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100 version 2.0 supports MQTT protocol version 3.1.1.
Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100 configuration and diagnostic requirements
To perform gateway configuration and diagnostics, you will need a computer running a Linux operating system with a connected device that can read and write microSD memory cards and an available USB port for connecting the USB-UART adapter from the distribution kit.
The following applications must be installed on the computer:
- Simple text editor (for example, nano, mcedit, Vim, gedit, or Kate). We recommend using a text editor that supports highlighting of JSON syntax.
To make changes to the gateway settings, you will need to connect the microSD card to the computer, mount the ext3 partitions of the card, and edit the JSON configuration files in the text editor.
- Application for establishing a communication session through the serial port (for example, PuTTY, screen, or minicom).
To run gateway performance diagnostics, you will need to connect the gateway to the computer using the USB-UART adapter and establish a communication session. This document provides a detailed analysis of gateway diagnostics using the PuTTY application, but you can use a different application (in which case you should refer to the documentation of that application for information about establishing a communication session). PuTTY or another similar application let you receive diagnostic information through the serial port to help identify the likely reason for gateway operating issues, such as a configuration error, issues with certificates, or lack of a response on the server side.
Gateway diagnostics can also be performed using a computer running a Windows operating system and PuTTY application for Windows. However, you will not be able to use that same Windows computer to configure the gateway. The microSD card partitions containing the gateway configuration files are allocated in the ext3 file system, which is supported in the Linux operating system.
