On-board edge devices

This section explains how to prepare an edge device, connect it to MK.IO, register it to a project, and remove it when needed.

On-boarding paths

Different network environments call for different on-boarding approaches. Choose the path that fits your setup:

Common workflow

Set the device Control interface IP, connect to the device web UI, copy a short code, and enter it in MK.IO.

On-boarding via device terminal only

Use when the installing engineer cannot access the device web UI. Obtain the Device ID from the terminal and register using the MK.IO UI.

On-boarding via API

Register the device using the MK.IO API instead of the MK.IO UI. The device must still have internet access.

Removing devices

How to remove an edge device from MK.IO using the UI or API.
