It is my first time with Fiware technologies and I want to test an instance of the FI-PPP Testbed for Orion Context Broker. I have the service end point (http://catalogue.fi-ware.org/enablers/configuration-manager-orion-context-broker/instances) but I don't know how I can use this information. I'm calling the service through REST Console Chrome extension and I don't have any response useful.

What are the steps to test Orion Context Broker through the instance from http://catalogue.fi-ware.org/enablers ??

UPDATE: I'm reading https://forge.fi-ware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Publish/Subscribe_Broker_-_Orion_Context_Broker_-_Quick_Start_for_Programmers and I don't have clear if I need to install a Linux machine or I need to use a Virtual Machine from Fi-Lab.

Could anybody help me???

Thanks in advance.

I don't recomend you to use the Configuration Manager catalogue entry except if you have a powerful reason to do that. Use Publish/Subscribe Broker entry instead (see this post about differences between Configuration Manager and Publish/Subscribe Broker).

Taking into account that, the Orion Context Broker instance that you should use is the one at orion.lab.fi-ware.org:1026. You need an authentication token to use it, a simple way of getting that token is described in the Orion Quick Start Guide.
