Connectivity

Manage and control your connectivity for your IoT solutions

The Connectivity page gives you a clear overview of all your connections. Here, you gain insight into their status and settings. We distinguish between LoRa and M2M connectivity.

Cisco synchronisations

For M2M connectivity, the information is synchronised with the source system, Cisco Control Center. This sync is performed daily. If you’ve made changes directly in Cisco Control Center, the list may show outdated information. However, when you view an individual connection, the latest data for that item is always retrieved.

You can check when the last synchronisation took place by clicking the icon.
