The HPE Edgeline EL300 Converged Edge System is a compact modular device that provides an effective
way to connect and manage various operational systems such as control systems, data acquisitions system,
and industrial networks. It supports remote management over both wireless and wired networks.
This document provides information on setting up and configuring the HPE Edgeline EL300 Converged Edge
System. It also provides installation information for the hardware options available for the system.
About Intelligent System Manager (iSM)
HPE Edgeline Integrated System Manager (iSM) is a remote management tool embedded in the HPE
Edgeline EL300 Converged Edge System. iSM allows system administrators to remotely configure, update,
and monitor system health and activity. The embedded iSM management module has its own network
connection and IP address to which administrators connect on their dedicated management network, even
when the system is powered down. Depending on hardware configuration, Edgeline systems with iSM can be
connected to a management network using Ethernet or a wireless Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, or LTE connection. iSM
fers a Web-based console (iSM GUI), a command line interface (iSM CLI), and is accessible using the
of
REST API.
