Manage edge cascading

To use Edge as a gateway to collect data and other features, you need to add the Edge in Edge Gateway > Edge Management and configure the appropriate communication parameters.

Get ready before you start

  • Edge administrative action authority is needed. if you don’t have it, need to contact the organization administrator to add the authority for you. For user rights within EnOS, see Policies, Roles, and Permissions.

  • Complete the creation of Edge models, products, and devices. See Device Management. The model name of the Edge model must be EnOS_Edge_Standard_Model, and the product name of the Edge product must be EnOS_Edge_Standard_Product.

  • Complete the creation of the edge cascading. See Create Edge Cascading.

Modify the edge cascading

Once the user has created the edge cascading relationship, they can manage it by modifying the configuration of the cascading. EnOS Edge provides modification methods for the following scenarios:

  • Modify the forwarding point for the edge cascading

  • Add new device to the child edge.

Modify the forwarding point for the edge cascading

  1. In Edge Management lists, select edge cascading devices that need to be modified.

    Note

    Expand the cascading connection to see the cascaded edge device, and the user can switch between the current and child edge by click View button.

  2. Click the right-hand Edit button of the device under the cascading connection of the parent edge to select the data points that the child edge forwards to the parent edge.

  3. Click the Publish button of the parent edge triggers the deployment of the parent and child edge cascading deployment.

    Note

    Publishing takes a few minutes, and the automatic publish of the child edge will be triggered when the parent edge is published.

Add new devices to child Edge

#. In Edge Management list, select the child Edge and follow the device access guide. #.

Switch to parent edge

Note

Expand the cascading connection to see the cascaded edge device, and the user can switch between the current and child Edges by click the View button.

  1. Click the right-hand Edit button of the device under the cascading connection of the parent edge to re-pick the data points that the child Edge forwards to the parent edge.

  2. Click the Publish button of the parent edge triggers the deployment of the parent and child edge cascading deployment.

    Note

    Publishing takes a few minutes, and the automatic publish of the child edge will be triggered when the parent edge is published.
