For details on Edge see Edge M2MBridge Configuration can be achieved in 2 ways

Editing bridgeConfig.json

Locate at m2mbridge directory Configuration is based on cloning. Referencing an M2MBridge instance as a template; its configuration will be cloned. The objective is to have a single configuration that can then be used to create and maintain multiples deployments. The template is described through a template id and prefix. Other configuration options are described below:

• description Text to be assigned to M2MBridges description property. Type: string.
• description:children If the description property will be assigned to M2MBridge's linked things. Type: boolean.
• dap DAP connection options. Type: JSON, having:
  • dapUrl AMTech IoT DAP URL. Type: string, valid URL
  • userId Bridge instance user ID. Type: string.
  • tenant Bridge tenant. Type: string.
  • password Bridge password. Type: string.

Note: You should use an invited follower in the authentication. See remarks in this section

• templateId Bridge instance ID to be cloned. Type: string, valid bridge name.
• bridgeIdPrefix Prefix to add to the unique M2MBridge identifier, the MAC address of the device is used as unique ID. In the absence of a prefix, just the MAC address is used as identifier. Type: string.
• location WKT location to set to the M2MBridge location. Overrides address if also present. Type: stringified version of JSON representing the WKT.
• location:children Express if the location property will be assigned to M2MBridge's linked things. Type: boolean.
• address Address to be used to guess M2MBridge location. Type: JSON.
• bridgeConfig.json example

{
    "description": "AMTech M2M Bridge", 
    "description:children" : true,
    "dap":{   
        "dapUrl": "https://dap.amtech.mx",     
        "userId": "xxxxxxx@amtech.mx",
        "tenant" : "xxxxxxx",  
        "password" :"xxxxxxxx"
    },
    "templateId":"m2mCreator:m2mBridge",
    "bridgeIdPrefix":"tienda1",       
    "location": "{\"wkt\":\"POINT(-99.17125583 19.40501031)\",\"sContext\":\"geo\"}",  
    "location:children" : true,
    "address" :{

        "city": "Las Vegas",
        "road": "Las Vegas Boulevard South",

Configuration validation

• At startup time the M2MBridge validates its configuration with the cloud. If there is an error, the application aborts
• To simplify the process of validation configuration there is an option to validate the configuration for a M2MBridge instance (See here)
