Edge Devices
An edge device is a Belden Horizon Data Operations device that can be connected and activated, enabling data collection and allowing you to perform management tasks. Each new edge device added has a UUID, referred to as the device ID. A color-coded warning for license expiry is shown for each device that is expiring within 15 days.
