The ConnectCore Cloud Services demo provides a user-friendly interface to demonstrate the features available on the ConnectCore family of products. It allows you to both monitor and manage your device.
The demo includes a remote management web application that uses Digi Remote Manager APIs. It stores device data in the cloud and listens for incoming requests to allow you to remotely monitor and control your device.
The following diagram summarizes the ConnectCore Cloud Services demo with all components as well as the connections between them.
| The local ConnectCore Cloud Services demo interface running WebKit is not available on the ConnectCore 6UL. Only remote connectivity is supported. |
