TilliT Edge Core on Windows

Download the Installer via the link below or by clicking the TilliT Edge Core Standalone on the Download Edge Page

Using the Installer

Open the installer on the machine you wish to install TillIT Edge Core.

Configuring the Connection

An important step in installing the TilliT Edge Core is defining the endpoint to send MQTT traffic. A regular setup should connect to TilliT IoT Cloud, but a connection to a TilliT Edge Relay should use the Custom Endpoint AND mark that the Custom Endpoint is a TilliT Edge Relay instance.

After clicking Install, the TIlliT Edge Core will do all the nessecary steps required to configure the machine. While this is occuring you may notice the installer screen not progress for a while. This is normal and should only take 1-2 minutes total.

Congratulations, the TilliT Edge Core has been installed. Give the software a minute or two to get setup and then check that the Edge you configured is marked as online.

Troubleshooting Post Installation

Observe the log output of the TilliT Edge Core by navigating to the installation folder (The default is C:\Program Files\TilliT Edge Core). In here, open the logs folder and then the TilliT Edge Core_rCURRENT.txt file. The bottom of the file contains the most recent log messages from the edge. These messages are useful in debugging any potential problems.

If you are having issues connecting the Core to a Relay, you can confirm the connection is visible to your machine by running following powershell command (Replace the {IpAddress} with your Relay IP)

Test-NetConnection  {IpAddress}  -port 8883
