Ensure you have a Windows Desktop or Server available to install the client app. It is recommend that Cloud Bridge be installed on a server or workstation that is “always on” and remains permanently in the physical location of installation.
Ensure .Net 5 is installed. We recommend the .Net 5.x Desktop Runtime package, found here.

Extract the installation media to a local folder and run the msi file in the CloudBridgeClient.Installer folder.

The configured URL will display to the right of the black Server icon, to the right of the Square 9 logo. If the URL is empty or incorrect, click the server icon to display the configuration panel and update it.
If the service is running, the Running status is indicated in the upper right of the interface, along with a green check. If the connection is broken, the service is configured to stop and restart itself to reestablish the connection. If the service is not running for any reason, it will be noted as stopped in this area.
If the Cloud Bridge client has been able to successfully broker a connection to your Square 9 Cloud environment, you will notice a security token displayed below the URL, to the right of the black server icon.
Click the blue Plus fab icon in the bottom right corner to configure a connection.
Provide all details for your service connection:
Service Name is just used for display purposes. It’s an indicator for those configuring the client what a specific service is intended to be used for.
Address is used to specify the network address of the service that will be exposed through Cloud Bridge. In most cases, Cloud Bridge will be installed on the same server as the service in question. In this example, we will be specifying a connection to a local SQL Server instance, so the default local address of 127.0.0.1 is acceptable.
If you wish to specify your own port, leave the Port selection on Custom, and provide the port number in the text box below. Alternately, Cloud Bridge is bundle with common ports / applications. You can select an application from the Port drop down list and the port number will be provided for you.
Clicking save will provision the connection details. Your local service will now be available to Square 9’s cloud
