Cisco EFM iSocket DSLink Documentation

[SwaroopPVN]

I am looking for Cisco EFM iSocket DSLink & isocket gateway documentation/trainings. Is there any link available for such resources ?

Hi Swaroop,

The DSLink documentation for iSocket is linked from the DSLink Catalog page:

https://developer.cisco.com/docs/kinetic-connector-catalog/#isocket

Hi Naveen,

Thank you for your immediate response. I tried accessing the link which is available from the catalog page, but its navigating to tech support page, where i couldn't find anything specific to isocket/isocket-gateway. I understood that the link is pointing to some pdf file, but its getting redirected to https://community.cisco.com/t5/technology-and-support/ct-p/technology-support page. I tried from all kinds of browsers and i believe its not a browser issue also.

Looks like the link is broken.
The guide is available @ https://community.cisco.com/t5/cisco-kinetic-documents/cisco-kinetic-manufacturing-starter-solutions-of-em-and-ehm-2-0/ta-p/3651833

Hi Naveen,

This guide has info on isocket dslink setup which was helpful for us. Do we have any docs on isocket gateway, we wanted to understand, how to access the gateway and to apply/modify the configs of an existing system.

The gateway information/guide will need to be provided by the manufacturer (iSocket)
http://www.i-sockets.com/
This should be the webpage for them (But I am getting an error accessing their webpage)

It is very simple to configure the iSockets gw. All the configuration can be done from a gateway webpage. 

To access the iSockets webpage go to the URL http://{i-sockets-gw-ip} 

Once you enter the username and password. You would see the configuration page(screenshot). Where you can configure the communication mode (API or MQTT) and other gw information.

Recent iSockets gateways can also use MQTT, in which case one can simply use EFM's MQTT DSLink instead. I am attaching iSockets documentation on the setup and message format.
