I am trying to develop an ignition module and it requires some configuration details to work like ipaddress, i have using the gateway webpage example developed a module and it is showing in the gateway config screen as separate tab. the module mostly going to work in scripting environment on the designer level. Unfortunately i am not able to find a way to read the settings stored in gateway config in the designer context so before adding my module to scriptmanager i can pass those values as parameters to it. How to proceed with this.

You will need RPC for the designer to ask the gateway to do any lookups you wish.
