Step 5: Communicating with your M2M Gateway

To manage your M2M Gateway, you can use the iDigi Manager Pro interface by logging into your iDigi Device Cloud account. Alternatively, you can communicate with your device programmatically by using iDigi Web Services. The idigi_device_request sample contains two python script to turn the status LED of the M2M Gateway device on and off, this sample is described in the HTML help in the iDigi Users Guide on the desktop. The sample python scripts provided with the samples use the iDigi Web services API. iDigi Web Service requests are sent from a remote application to the iDigi Device Cloud, which then directly communicates to the device. This allows for bidirectional machine to machine communication.
