        Article Summary

        This article covers how to install the Edge DX Agent onto IGEL OS devices.

        Important
        Before you deploy any Edge DX Agents, read the prerequisites for Agent deployment and make sure that your environment is ready.


        Edge DX supports devices running IGEL OS 11 and IGEL OS 12.

        Agent Installation

        Select your IGEL OS version below:

        Install the IGEL Ready Certified Edge DX Agent application on IGEL OS 12 devices through IGEL UMS.

        Before you begin

        In IGEL UMS, you need to enter your Edge DX tenant name and device registration code. To get these values, open Edge DX and go to Configuration > Downloads.TenantNameDevRegCode


        Configure the application in IGEL UMS

        1. Open the IGEL App Portal and import ControlUp Edge DX Agent.UMS1
        2. In IGEL UMS, add the ControlUp Edge DX Agent application to a profile used for device deployment. Visit the IGEL documentation to learn more about this step.
        3. Open the configuration for the ControlUp Edge DX Agent application.UMS2
        4. Fill out the following fields:
          • Tenant Address (required) - Copy the Tenant Name from the Agent downloads page in Edge DX (shown above) and paste it here.
          • Device Registration Code (required) - Copy the Device Registration Code from the Agent downloads page in Edge DX (shown above) and paste it here.
          • Device Group (optional) - If you want to add the device to a device group when the Edge DX Agent is installed, enter the name of the device group here. Note that devices are added to the device group only when the Agent is first installed. You can change a device's device group later. Learn more about device groups.
          • Proxy Server (optional) - If you want the Agent to connect to your Edge DX environment via a proxy, enter the proxy address here (for example, 10.0.0.1:8080).
        5. Save your changes to the application configuration.

        Devices that are configured to run the ControlUp Edge DX Agent application automatically install the Agent and connect to your Edge DX environment.  

        Update Agent versions

        When a new Edge DX Agent version is available for IGEL, the ControlUp Edge DX Agent application will be updated in the IGEL app store. You can update your Edge DX Agents through IGEL UMS.

        You can install the Edge DX Agent on IGEL OS 11 devices using a custom partition:

        1. In Edge DX, go to Configuration > Downloads> Thin Client Agents > IGEL OS Agent.
        2. Follow the instructions in the UI. The URL and Initial Action are ready for you to copy and already include your unique tenant URL and device registration code.
