  • Site User Name: This is the unique identifier of Edge Gateway in the installation and is used to authenticate the gateway.

  • Upload Frequency: If net connection between RTDAS and server is lost, RTDAS stores data in files. RTDAS will try to upload these files at every Upload Frequency. In other words, if connection is lost, after every upload frequency, RTDAS will close current files and start writing in new files and try to upload closed files to server. Thus upload frequency decides size of data files.
  • Local Storage: If selected Yes, then RTDAS keeps a copy of all the data sent to the Server locally as well.
