w5zqofde xozajrh download a template you can download multiple device configuration templates, selecting different configurations from a single manufacturing connect edge device these device configuration files are then available on your hard drive for upload to other manufacturing connect edge devices the template files can also be uploaded to a manufacturing connect to be applied to groups of manufacturing connect edge devices you can customize the template prior to downloading by selecting components individually or by category before you begin to access the features on the backup/restore page, you need a valid license how to download a template to download a template in manufacturing connect edge, navigate to system > device management click the template tab select the

manufacturing connect edge device both have a mysql connector with the name mysql integration , a duplicate connector will be created with the name mysql integration (1) if you upload a template with the same device and tags as the manufacturing connect edge device, any additional tags that are in the manufacturing connect edge device but are not in the template will be automatically deleted when the template is uploaded additionally, the device and tag settings for existing devices will be overwritten when the template is loaded you can upload a device configuration template by navigating to system > backup from the templates tab when you upload a device configuration template, it applies the configuration in the file to the manufacturing connect edge device you can also apply templates to manufacturing connect edge devices using manufacturing connect, potentially changing the configurations for hundreds of manufacturing connect edge devices before you begin to access the features on the backup/restore page, you need a valid license download a device configuration template see the download a template section how to upload a template to upload a template in manufacturing connect edge, navigate to system > device management click the template tab click upload template navigate to a \<date> template json file saved on your hard drive, and then click open the selected template
