# Configuration of cfxPulse Configuration of cfxPulse for first time requires the following tasks to be completed in sequence. 1. Installing cfxPulse Collector on Gateway 2. Setting up Credentials ### Installing cfxPulse Collector on Gateway {% content-ref url="../installing-cfxpulse-collector" %} [installing-cfxpulse-collector](https://docs.cloudfabrix.io/cfxpulse/installing-cfxpulse-collector) {% endcontent-ref %} Go through the instructions 'Installing cfxPulse Collector' to complete installation and verification of cfxPulse collector on Gateway. After installation, ensure that Gateway services go into available state as shown below (Edge Collector Status - Not Available is ok). ![Gateway Installed and Available](https://2978683539-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LhoMVYxiQlKXh6OxX98%2F-LkbyiGT3845T9asF9QR%2F-Lkc-b84j_wPBexdjPiP%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=02eb508f-eff8-498d-97a0-917af6af4610) ### **Setting up Credentials for Device** Once gateway is configured and the services status shown as 'Available', the next step is to enter and store 'Device Credentials'. * From main menu, go to Configuration menu item as shown below ![](https://2978683539-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LhoMVYxiQlKXh6OxX98%2F-LlBwFaSNI_2bTeVJZ1f%2F-LlBwmZXbxxrCm1jWfjf%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3a280172-77fb-4354-a5c8-72a61eec5282) * Go to Customers->Discovery.
