Adding a device and authenticator

A device can be any equipment. The authenticator provides secure communication between an MQTT broker and an MQTT client in the device.

Prerequisites: The network is installed and the abstractMqttDriver palette is open.

Open the station and expand Config > Drivers.
Do one of the following:
- Drag the device component from the palette to the network node in the Nav tree, name the device and click OK.
- Double-click the network node, click New, select the Abstract Mqtt Device from the drop-down list, click OK, name the device and click OK.
You may use the preconfigured devices present under the Devices folder. They are already configured with an authenticator.
To configure the device, right-click it in the Nav tree and click Views > AX Property Sheet.
