    1. IoT Server are on the same network, else you will not be able to download the Android agent.

      The WSO2 IoTS consoles are based on the HTTPS protocol, which is a combination of HTTP and SSL protocols. This protocol is generally used to encrypt the traffic from the client to server for security reasons. The certificate it works with is used for encryption only, and does not prove the server identity, so when you try to access these consoles, a warning of untrusted connection is usually displayed. To continue working with this certificate, some steps should be taken to "accept" the certificate before access to the site is permitted. If you are using the Mozilla Firefox browser, this usually occurs only on the first access to the server, after which the certificate is stored in the browser database and marked as trusted. However, with other browsers, the insecure connection warning might be displayed every time you access the server.

      This scenario is suitable for testing purposes, or for running the program on the company's internal networks. If you want to make these consoles available to external users, your organization should obtain a certificate signed by a well-known certificate authority, which verifies that the server actually has the name it is accessed by and that this server belongs to the given organization.

  11. Set a PIN code of your choice with a minimum of 4 digits. The PIN code will be used to secure your personal data. Thereby, the IoT server will not be able to carry out critical operations on your personal data without using this PIN.

You have to provide the PIN code to get your device wiped or you can log into the device management console and wipe your device by entering the PIN code. A confirmation message will appear.
