Use Device Management features to manage OT Link Platform functions integrated with Workload Orchestrator.

Device management is used for:

  • Activating a OT Link Platform device for remote access in the cloud.
  • Getting updates using LWM2M (Lightweight Machine to Machine). 
  • Managing the OT Link Platform device, such as rebooting the device or executing a factory reset. See Device Reboot & Upgrade.
