SmartServer IoT is the industry’s first truly open, end-to-end, and extensible edge server that accelerates your system integration projects for industrial IoT applications. It enables you to monitor and control BACnet, LON, Modbus, and IoT devices, and interface those devices with local workstations and remote cloud services.
This section describes how to use the SmartServer for planning, provisioning, integrating, operating, maintaining, and diagnosing a site containing industrial IoT devices. See SmartServer IoT Getting Started for an introduction to key concepts for the SmartServer, and for instructions on how to initially set up a SmartServer. For step-by-step videos on using the SmartServer, see SmartServer IoT Training Videos. For a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the SmartServer's integrated Node-RED tool, see SmartServer IoT Node-RED Tutorial. The following topics describe how to use the SmartServer once you have it set up.
