...

1.  Inside DPOD's Web Console, navigate to the gateways page [Manage → Devices → Gateways] and click on “New”.
   
   
2. Enter the required information (consult - see Device Management for details):

3. The device name must be identical to the System Identifier/Appliance Name of the DataPower Gateway as set in the Gateway itself.
   It must meet the requirements detailed in http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21668456.

4. If you wish to add a Tenant device, enter the landlord's name but use the tenant's SOMA host and port. DPOD will display the tenant's name as tenant@landlord.
It is highly recommended to enable device resources monitoring. Disabling it will cause this device's health to be missing in System Health dashboard, as well as provide unexpected results in dashboards, reports and alerts that are based on this data.
5. Click “Add”
