Device Cloud is a hosted remote configuration and management system that has been
designed to facilitate the management of large numbers of routers. Before this service can
be used, a device cloud account must be set up. Applying for an account is a straightforward
procedure; the local sales representative will have details. The Device Cloud homepage is to
be found at
www.etherios.com/devicecloud.
The service is hosted on the device cloud servers and these provide a web-based interface
that shows the configuration of selected routers allows the configuration to be changed and
also facilitates remote firmware upgrade. The device cloud servers also provide a data
storage facility.

reconnection when it discovers that the connection has been lost.
