Connecting EnOS Edge and Sub-devices to EnOS¶
EnOS Edge supports the following deployment modes.
- Deploying Edge on the cloud
- Deploying Edge locally
Before You Start¶
Ensure that you have applied for an EnOS OU account. For more information, contact the infrastructure implementing personnel.
Step 1: Deploying EnOS Edge¶
Deploying Edge on the Cloud¶
Log in to apply for Cloud Edge according to your environment:
- PPE: https://opscenter-ppe1.eniot.io/order/vm/apply
- CN5: https://opscenter-cn5.eniot.io/order/vm/apply
You will receive an email notification if your application succeeds.
Deploying Cloud Edge: This is done by a deployment personnel.
Deploying Edge Locally¶
- Prepare the hardware according to Recommended Hardware for Running EnOS Edge.
- Deploying the Edge locally: This is done by a deployment personnel.
Step 2: Provisioning EnOS Edge¶
- Create a product for the EnOS Edge on the EnOS Management Console. The model must be the public model EnOS_Edge_Standard_Model. The product must be named “EnOS_Edge_Standard_Product”, with Gateway as the type. For more information, see Creating a Product.
- Register a device for EnOS Edge. For more information, see Registering a Device.
- Create the models and products, and register devices for the sub-devices of the Edge. For more information, see Creating a Model.
Step 3: Connecting EnOS Edge and Sub-device¶
Perform the following to connect EnOS Edge and its sub-devices to EnOS Cloud.
Create and Configure Templates¶
A template maps the control and collection points of a device to the measurement points in its standard model. It can be reused by any device of the same model. Configuring a template is the prerequisite to connecting an EnOS Edge and its sub-devices to EnOS Cloud. For more information, see Creating Device Templates.
Add an Edge Instance¶
After configuring the template, add the registered Edge device to Edge Management. Next, create a connection and add the sub-devices to the connection. Finally, publish the Edge configuration to EnOS Cloud. For more information, see Managing Edge.
(Optional) Step 4: Communications Testing¶
If you want to test the communication between Edge and cloud or its sub-devices, use the communications testing service. For more information, see Testing Communications.
