Creating a Product (Device Collection)

This section describes how to create a product to manage a collection of devices abstracted from the same model.

Before you start

  • The model corresponding to the product has been created. For how to create it, see Creating a Model.

Step 1: creating a product

  1. Select Device Management > Products in the EnOS Management Console.

  2. Click New Product at the top right, and enter the following information in the New Product window.

    • Product Name: name of the product, should be unique in the same organization

    • Node Type: define the type of the node

      • Device: there is no sub-device to be connected.

      • Edge: need to connect to the sub-device.

    • Model: model used by the product

    • Description: description of the product

  3. Click OK to create the product.

Step 2: (optional) adding a tag

A tag describes the common information shared by products of the same type.

  1. Find the target device from the device list and click View.

  2. Click Edit in the Tags section under Basic Information.

  3. In the pop-up window, click New Tag and enter the key-value pair (key:value) for the new tag.

  4. Click OK to save the tag.

Result

After creating the product, a pair of certificates can be obtained: Product Key (ProductKey) and Product Secret (ProductSecret). This pair of certificates uniquely identifies the product, and is also the key to register devices under this product and modify the product information. The product key certificate will be used for device activation.
