Uninstall the IXagent

These steps explain how you can remove the IXagent from your WAGO.

1. Start an SSH client (e.g. PuTTY) and connect to your WAGO. 
   • Default username: root. Default password: wago.
2. Run the following commands to uninstall the IXagent:

   opkg remove libmosquittopp
   opkg remove ixagent

3. Restart the PLC.
4. If you wish to reinstall the IXagent again, don't remove the existing registration from the IXON Cloud.
   • If you do remove it and later wish to reinstall the IXagent, you will need to purchase a new IXagent activation code.

Reinstall the IXagent

If you have uninstalled the IXagent and then wish to reinstall it again, the easiest method is to use Recovery mode.

5. Set Recovery mode to Restore.
   • You can skip this step if you have removed the existing IXagent registration from the IXON Cloud.
6. Follow the instructions from the Set up a WAGO IXagent article to install and register the IXagent. With Recovery mode set to Restore, it will come online under the existing registration, not as a new device.
