Paged Device Cloud Connection settings
Enable Paged Device Cloud Connection: When enabled and a request is received to
do so, the Device Cloud-registered device will initiate the connection to Device Cloud.
A paged connection is initiated on demand when a request to connect is received from
an external communication, such as a Short Message received via a mobile service
provider. The external communication may specify the Device Cloud platform with
which the Device Cloud-registered device should connect, or it may simply request that
the Device Cloud-registered device connect to the Device Cloud platform that is
configured in the PagedDevice CloudConnection settings.
Paged Device Cloud connections provide emergency access to your Device Cloud-
registered device directing it to connect to Device Cloud so management or application
operations may be performed.
A paged Device Cloud connection can be configured to disconnect an established
connection to Device Cloud so the paged connection can be established instead, or it
may configured to defer to an Device Cloud connection that is already established.
If paged Device Cloud connections are not enabled by this setting, paged connection
requests will be refused if received via external communication. This setting fully
controls whether or not paged Device Cloud connections will be permitted.
Device Cloud Server Address: The IP address or hostname of the Device Cloud
platform. For a paged Device Cloud connection, it is not required that Device Cloud
address be provided in the configuration settings. This is acceptable since the Device
Cloud address can be specified in the external communication that requests the paged
connection. The external communication may also be able to override this configuration
option with its own Device Cloud address selection. This is permitted in support of
emergency device management.
Disconnect the current Device Cloud connection before making a paged
connection: If enabled, the Device Cloud-registered device will terminate an
established connection to Device Cloud, and then it will connect to the Device Cloud
platform specified in the Paged Device Cloud Connection settings or specified in the
external communication (such as a Short Message). The external communication may
also be able to disconnect an established Device Cloud connection, thereby overriding
this configuration option. This is permitted in support of emergency Device
Cloud device management.
