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.
