IOT gateway

IoT gateway is a key component in IoT systems, serving as a bridge between IoT devices and the network or cloud platform. The IoT Gateway is responsible for collecting data from connected IoT devices and transmitting it to the central system or cloud platform.

  • DEVICE/NODE: The device name and the hierarchy it resides in.
  • AREA MAP: Area map can be edited from the configuration menu.
  • STATUS: Connection status, move the mouse over will show the managing edge AI unit name and its status.
  • EDGE AI DEVICE: the name of the managing AI unit that manages this IoT gateway
  • EDIT: The icon to bring up device configuration menu

Add new IOT gateway
