Introduction

The Edge MicroServer is a powerful component of the ThingWorx architecture. The Edge

MicroServer allows for the rapid deployment of connections between the ThingWorx platform and

an associated data reporting device, with minimal design requirements on the part of the user.

The Edge MicroServer provides an “always-on” connection to the platform, and it opens a local web

server that interacts with the REST API available on the platform.

This document provides installation and usage instructions for setting up the Edge MicroServer

with the Dell WYSE 3000.

About the Dell WYSE 3000

The Dell WYSE3000 is a multi-port x86 Intel-based thin client device, running Windows Embedded

Standard 7. It is manufactured by Dell Inc., and is intended for use as a rapid-connecting specialized

and limited-role device.

Specifications of the device as tested for this guide include an Intel® Celeron® CPU N2807

@1.57Ghz, 4.00GB of RAM, and 16GB of flash memory.

The Edge MicroServer Win32 distribution may be installed on the Dell WYSE 3000, and this guide

will follow the procedure for doing so. This guide will also follow the features involved with

simulating a connection and pushing and pulling data from the Dell WYSE 3000 to the ThingWorx

as a remotething.

Installation and Setup

Setup of the Dell WYSE 3000 with an EMS will first require connecting to the Dell Wyse 3000 from a

computer via Ethernet cable and a local DHCP Server. Please note that this guide was written

for a computer running Microsoft Windows.

Connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard

to the device, and power it on.

After the device automatically logs in,

hold down the “shift” key and click Start

> Log off. Continue holding the shift key

until the system asks you to choose an

account to login to.

Choose “Adminstrator”, and log in. The

default password is “DellCCCvdi”.

DHCP server on the ThingWorx host

computer. If you already have this client

set up on your host computer, then skip

ahead to opening up a websocket

connection.
