    • The Device Management Interface (DMI) is a web-based interface where you configure and register a Discovery Sensor for OT to the Discovery Console for OT.

    DMI overview

    With the DMI, registering a Sensor enables the Sensor to communicate with the Discovery Console for OT. By registering the Sensor, you're ready to start using the Console.
    Note:
    The Console and the DMI are separate web-based interfaces that you access with an HTTPS web address. Open both interfaces when registering the Sensor. During the first log in to the DMI, the username admin and the password devpassword are provided.
    Once the Console is deployed and you have registered the Sensor, you can create these necessary components on the Console to discover assets in your environment.
