Connecting to the CGR 1000
You can use Device Manager in the following ways:
-
Operating with IoT-FND—–When you have IoT-FND operating in the network, you can connect to that system with Device Manager to download and update work orders. Work orders allow Device Manager to view status and perform tasks on the CGR 1000. To operate in conjunction with IoT-FND, follow the steps in Setting Up the IoT-FND Connection.
-
Operating without IoT-FND—When you do not have IoT-FND operating in the network or do not want to connect to that system, use Device Manager to connect directly to a CGR 1000 by either WiFi (with valid SSID and passphrase) or Ethernet to view status and perform tasks on the CGR 1000.
