      1. Go to /etc/default/mqtt-bridge.conf file through KonaFT as shown below.
      2. Since a third-party NS is being used, disable three fields by placing # against each of them as shown below: (ns_host, gw_username and gw_password)
      1. As a last step, enable below fields by removing # against them as shown below: oam_host , gw_oam_username, gw_oam_password

      #2 How can I configure Newer Kona Gateways to work with TEK OAM server while using third-party NS?

      1. On newer Kona Gateways, the /etc/default/mqtt-bridge.conf file is separated into the following files that can only be accessed via the SSH command line:
        1. /etc/default/tektelic-bridge.ns.toml (For Network Server)
        2. /etc/default/tektelic-bridge.oam.toml (For OAM Server) 
      1. Since a Third Party NS is being used, disable the following fields in the /etc/default/tektelic-bridge.ns.toml file by adding a "#" in front of them as shown below, and save the file: (url, gw_user and gw_pass)
          1. As a last step, enable the following fields in the /etc/default/tektelic-bridge.oam.toml file by removing the "#" symbol in front of them as shown below, and save the file: (url, gw_user and gw_pass)
          1. Power Cycle the gateway.
          2. Go to TEK OAM server and then click on Manage Credentials tab to update username and password as seen in the /etc/default/tektelic-bridge.oam.toml file for your gateway, or as provided on your test report paper that is provided alongside your gateway.
