Overview
This process describes how industrial routers are configured to communicate with Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard.
Summary
Configuring industrial routers to communicate with Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard involves several stages. The key components or participants involved in the process are:
-
Administrator: Configures and manages the industrial routers throughout the process.
-
industrial routers: The device that is being prepared and connected to the Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard.
-
Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard: The cloud-based platform used to manage registered devices and confirm successful connectivity.
Workflow
These are the stages of configuring industrial routers to establish connection with Cisco IoT OD.
- Prepare the device: The administrator ensures the device is powered on, connected to the network, and accessible for configuration. For more information, see Prepare the device.
- Configure and enable IOx: The administrator enables IOx on the device, preparing it to support IoT application deployment. For more information, see Configure and enable IOx on industrial routers.
- Configure the device to connect to Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard: Using the IOS commands, the administrator configures the device to communicate with the IoT Operations Dashboard. For more information, see Configure industrial routers to connect to IoT OD.
- Verify the configuration on the device: The administrator checks the connection status on the device using IOS commands. For more information, see Verify configuration on the device terminal.
- Verify the device status in Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard: The administrator confirms that the device appears as “registered” in the Operations Dashboard. For more information, see Verify the device status on the Operations Dashboard.
Result
The industrial router is securely connected to Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard, ready for remote management.
