Zap Data Hub - Install the mandatory Data Gateway for the HandiSoft model

Install the Zap Data Hub Data Gateway on the HandiSoft server, confirm the service is running, and test the HandiSoft connector.

The HandiSoft model requires the new version of the Zap Data Hub Data Gateway. The Data Gateway must be installed on the server where HandiSoft is installed, and the service must be running before HandiSoft data can be processed in Zap Data Hub.

⚠️Important: The new Data Gateway requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8. Previous versions used .NET 4.5.1, so this may need to be updated on your server before installation. Download .NET Framework 4.8 from Microsoft's website. Installing .NET Framework 4.8 requires a server restart once installation is complete.
