Best type of connexion between Ignition main server and an Ignition IOT Edge

General Discussion

Hello everyone,

I recently acquired the Ignition IoT edge. To connect it to main main Ignition server I created an OPC connexion between to two devices. My main server is set as an OPCUA server and my IoT edge is also set as an OPCUA server to collect data coming from different PLC (also set as an OPCUA server). I think it is not the best way to proceed because in that manner I'm not able to create at remote tag provider.
Did I miss something, or must I create a diffenrent type of connexion between my two Ignition machines ?
Any advices ?

You must use a Gateway Network connection between them to allow the use of a Remote Tag Provider, and to set up history transfer from Edge to main.
