Upon succesful firmware update, a notification pops up.

Log files

In the log files tab, the created device logs are displayed and downloadable. The log streaming functionality can be enabled or disabled in the device settings.

Commands

Industrial Edge devices can be shut down or restarted by operators.

Clicking on Commands allows you to perform a shutdown or a restart. You need to confirm the command execution. The status of the command can be tracked in the respective job status.

Remote Access

Industrial Edge devices can be controlled via a remote connection, even one created from outside their defined security perimeter.

By clicking on the Enable remote access option, a remote connection is established from the Industrial Edge device to the Industrial Edge Management system. A success message will inform you about the triggering of the remote connection setup process. You can monitor the status of this job in the job overview window.

Once the remote connection is successfully established, you can initiate the remote session by clicking on the Remote connect button. This will open a new browser tab and display the login page for the Industrial Edge device. The default time for remote access is 2hours.

You may have remote access enabled for many devices, but you can only connect remotely to one device at a time using your browser. To access two devices simultaneously, please use another browser or the incognito mode. Connecting remotely to one device while having another session open will trigger the following warning.

NOTICE

Remote Access With remote access enabled, if a K8s IEM becomes inaccessible, it will take up to 7 minutes to connect via remote access once the IEM is connected to the IED.With remote access enabled, if a non-K8s IEM becomes inaccessible, it will take up to 15 minutes to connect via remote access once the IEM is connected to the IED.

NOTICE

Next-generation firewalls (NGFs) Remote access to Industrial Edge Devices is established via a WebSocket connection with an overlay SSH channel. This enables secure communication and remote management of devices. Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are capable of detecting and inspecting this traffic, potentially blocking it based on protocol identification and security policies. If you are using an NGFW, ensure that TCP profile is used for this traffic to allow direct tunneling. If an SSL profile is applied, make sure that SSH traffic is explicitly allowed within the profile. WebSocket traffic is permitted to avoid disconnection issues. Recommendation Review firewall logs to verify if the traffic is being blocked. Adjust settings accordingly to prevent interference with remote access functionality.

Settings

Clicking on Settings opens up the device specific settings that can be edited:

  • Memory limit check
  • Logs
  • Certificate
  • Streaming logs
  • Device reset & removal

For more information regarding Memory limit check, Certificate and Streaming logs, refer to the detailed settings chapters below.
