* if you have DNS infrastructure services available in the environment in which your KEPServerEX runs, add a DNS entry for your IoT Edge gateway
* if you do not, or just want to test before you do, you can add a hosts file entry on your KEPServerEX for your IoT Edge gateway in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file

If you do, however, make sure that you update the 'hostname' property in config.yaml to be the IP address of the gateway and not its name.
