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. The controller device may simultaneously or sequentially access different wireless communications with different edge devices using network access information, and transmit configuration data to connected edge devices.
