  • Patent number: 10778460
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system to enable operating parameters of edge devices to be configured. In one example, a controller device detects or verifies edge devices that are powered-off. In response to detecting edge devices, the controller device generates, for each detected edge device, corresponding configuration data, and transmits the configuration data to the server. In one approach, each powered-on edge device connects to the server, and automatically retrieves corresponding configuration data from the server. In another example, a disclosed controller device enables configuring operating parameters of edge devices without a network connection to the server through a simplified process. For example, the controller device detects or verifies edge devices within a predetermined distance from the controller device.
