# Enable Command Centre Could

The Command Centre Cloud service is used to enable the server to communicate with the Gallagher API Gateway, allowing REST clients (such as Access Now) to connect and interact with the Command Centre system remotely and securely. To enable Command Centre Cloud follow the below steps.  

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are using Command Centre Cloud for other Gallagher services, it is already enabled. Note that it needs to be enabled only once for all cloud services. Only one cloud service can exist per server.
{% endhint %}

{% step %}

### Open Command Centre Config Client  &#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check if you have Command Centre Cloud already enabled.&#x20;

If you are using Command Centre Cloud for other Gallagher services, it is already enabled. Note that it needs to be enabled only once for all cloud services. Only one cloud service can exist per server.

If it's active, you don't need to activate it again. Move the the next step of AccessNow integration configuration: [Command Centre – AccessNow Operator](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/system-administration/command-centre-integration/command-centre-accessnow-operator.md).&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create the Command Centre Cloud service &#x20;

If you don't already have the cloud service enabled, follow these steps to do so.&#x20;

Note only one cloud service can exist per server.

In the Services & Workstations window right-click and select:  **New > Command Centre Cloud.** The service **Properties** window opens.

In the **General** tab, **Name** the service  e.g. Command Centre Cloud.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Tick Enable API Gateway

Go to the **Configuration** tab. Ensure the **Enable Gallagher API Gateway** option is ticked to allow communication through the cloud.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select your API Gateway Region

Still in the **Configuration** tab,  make sure Command Centre Cloud is selected in the top **Region** drop-down list.  And select the appropriate region (Australia or United States) in the other **Region** list. Choose the region based on your server's location. The region determines which cloud gateway your server will communicate with.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify the service is active&#x20;

After configuration, go to the **Status and Override** tab and confirm the status of **Receive** is **Online**.

No other tabs or settings need to be configured unless your site uses a proxy server, which would require additional network configuration.
