Configuration Tool¶
EnOS Edge Configuration Tools are used to model devices and manage connectivity and device life cycle.
EnOS Edge provides three types of tools to manage configurations:
The Cloud Asset Config Tool provides a set of tools from EnOS Cloud to model and manage devices remotely.
The Local Asset Config Tool provides tools to model and manage devices locally. It can be deployed on Edge Extensive and Edge IIoT Gateway.
The Local O&M Tool, the in-built configuration tool of EnOS Edge, supports local operation and management, local debugging, and local loading configuration. It can be deployed on any Edge product.
