Hi there, I’m working for the first time on MQTT data transmission with Ignition. For my tests i have installed Cirrus Link MQTT Distributor and MQTT Engine on my cloud server and installed Ignition Edge with the Transmission Module on my local PC (as described on this link : [https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/Getting+Started%3A+Two+Ignition+Architecture](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/Getting+Started%3A+Two+Ignition+Architecture)) I can’t connect to the cloud MQTT server (with a public IP Adress) from the local PC where Edge is installed. However if i install the Transmission Module on the cloud server, i can connect to the broker easily. When using MQTTfx on the cloud server i can connect to the broker but when using it on a remote machine i can’t connect to the broker either. Can the MQTT Distributor Module be used with a cloud Architcture or do i have to use a 3rd party broker ? ---

Pascal, Of course it works with a cloud server… that’s the real purpose of an MQTT broker like the distributor. Just drop an email to your local French distributor to get support 😉 [support@it-mation.com](mailto:support@it-mation.com) in your TZ. They have a lot of experience with MQTT architecture in various scenarios. But for your actual case, just check if ports 1883/8090 or whatever you’ve are allowed. Best, ---

Thanks Gilles, will do so ! I did open the port 1883,8883 and 8090 on my cloud server. Don’t know what i am doing wrong. ---
