Edge Agent Gateway and Dispatcher

The HTTP Gateway provides connectivity and authentication management between the edge device and Edge Manager in the cloud. The HTTP Gateway performs the following tasks:
  • Initiates conversation with Edge Manager on a scheduled basis.
  • Receives information about the current state of the device as part of the initial connection.
  • Ensures the connection is authorized and the “authentication token” is valid prior to any communication.
  • Dispatches commands to appropriate command handlers.
  • Responds with the status of the command execution.
