The first step is to load four Cirrus Link modules specified in the 'Prerequisites' section of this document. To load the modules, launch the Ignition Gateway and open HTTP connection to it. If Ignition Gateway is running on your development machine, use http://localhost:8088 to connect. You should see the 'Welcome to the Ignition Gateway' screen shown below:
From here, click the "CONFIGURE" tab to go to the 'Configuration Section'. Ignition will ask you to sign in, so use the admin/password as your credentials.
