Each data stream you create in XMPro IoT needs to belong to a collection. A collection profile is a collection of information, contained within a downloadable file, that contains the details of a collection. A collection profile contains a device name, collection ID, secret, your server URL, the Java API URL and a key.
In preparation for installing a stream host, otherwise known as a device, you have to download a connection profile if you wish to avoid manually copying the details of a collection from XMPro IoT to the installer.
To obtain a collection profile, follow the steps below.
- Log into XMPro IoT and open the Collections page from the left-hand menu.
- Select the collection you wish to use. If there isn’t a collection available, you can create one by clicking on the New button, choosing a name for the collection and pressing Ok.
- Click on Connection Profile.
- Choose a name for the device.
- Click Ok. The connection profile will automatically begin to download.
In the next section, we will look at where to find the installer for the stream host.
