# Use CODESYS Edge Gateway

To pair the CODESYS Edge Gateway with the powerIO systems and the CODESYS Automation Server, you must first put the gateway into maintenance mode. The article below explains which steps are necessary for this.

## Enable/disable Edge Gateway Maintenance Mode

1. Navigate to the IP address of your powerIO device: `http://<IP>:8080`
2. Click the "Password" field and press Enter to sign in or click "LOGIN".

{% hint style="info" %}
In "Configuration Mode" it is shown whether Maintenance Mode is active. If it is inactive, enable it as described above. Otherwise, no configurations are possible.\
