# Replacing WIN gateway

The steps to replace e.g., broken WIN gateway in existing B3 system structure:

* Physically change broken WIN gateway for a new one.
* Follow the steps from [WIN Gateway setup](/win-gateway-installation-manual/quick-installation/win-gateway-setup.md) to configure a new gateway.
* Manually unlink all WIN nodes from the previous WIN gateway as described in [Unlinking a node](/win-gateway-installation-manual/link-unlink-node-with-gateway/unlinking-a-node.md).
* Link all nodes to a new WIN gateway as descibed in [Linking a node](/win-gateway-installation-manual/link-unlink-node-with-gateway/linking-a-node.md).
* Open B3 system. Go to Admin -> Infrastructure -> Gateways

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/win-gateway-installation-manual/troubleshooting/replacing-win-gateway.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
