EdgeBridge Settings controls what the ERP accepts from devices, how long it keeps the traffic, and how repeat reads are collapsed. It also shows the ERP URL you paste into the gateway during installation.
Where to find it
Go to EdgeBridge > Settings > General.
Connecting a device
| Setting | What it does |
|---|
| ERP URL for the gateway | Paste into the gateway's URL box. The gateway adds its own /api/… path, so copy it exactly. |
| Accept device events | The master switch. Off means nothing is accepted from any gateway. |
| Accept simulated events | Demonstration mode — see below. |
Limits
| Setting | What it does |
|---|
| Requests allowed per gateway per hour | Rate limit. Exceeding it produces rejected entries in Inbound. |
| Maximum events in one request | Caps how much a gateway may deliver at once. |
Collapsing repeats
| Setting | What it does |
|---|
| Ignore repeat punches within (seconds) | A finger read several times in a second becomes one punch. Events dropped this way show as Ignored. |
| Treat repeat tag reads as one visit for (seconds) | Stops a stationary tag under an antenna generating endless sightings. |
Set the tag window against how your site actually moves. Too short and a parked pallet floods Sightings; too long and an item that genuinely left and came back looks like it never moved.
Retention
| Setting | What it does |
|---|
| Keep device events for (days) | How long payloads are kept. |
| Keep the request log for (days) | How long the Inbound log is kept. |
Records these created — attendance, sightings, counts — are permanent regardless of retention.
Enrolment
| Setting | What it does |
|---|
| Device user id offset for ERP enrolment | Where ERP-assigned device ids start, so they do not collide with ids already on the device. |
Demonstration mode
With Accept simulated events on, the module accepts fabricated device events and labels everything they create as simulated. A banner stays on screen the whole time it is enabled.
Switch it off when the demo ends. A company accepting simulated events has a Sightings list that is partly theatre, and nobody should have to remember which rows are real.
