How to check factories in OnBoard™ IoT Security

This article will guide you on how to check factory information, factory status, programming station information, and batch information in OnBoard™ IoT Security (OBIS).

Prerequisites

Before getting started, please ensure that you have factory role permissions as a Factory Admin or Factory Manager.

Check factory status

1. Sign in to OBIS.

2. In the Ecosystem section of the left menu, click Factory. On the Factory page, the Status column will display three statuses: Normal, Locked, and Pending.

   tip

   The factory list only displays the factories you are involved in.

   Click the Filter , Sort , Refresh , and Columns Options icons to filter, sort, refresh data, and to customize which columns are shown and how they are ordered.

   

   Description of factory status:

   Status	Description
   Normal	The factory can be selected when creating a batch. Local factory: Once an HSM U-Safe is added to the local factory, the status will change from Pending to Normal. Cloud factory: The initial status of a cloud factory is Normal.
   Locked	The factory has been locked, and can't be used normally.
   Pending	The factory status after the factory creation but without adding an HSM U-Safe, and the factory can't be selected when creating a batch. Note: This status applies only to local factories.

Check the factory information

3. Select the corresponding factory to navigate to the factory page, and then you can check the factory-related information (such as Factory ID, Type, and Location).

   tip

   For a local factory, after contacting Snowball for assistance in deploying OnBoard Edge Service, the corresponding service address can be found in the factory information. This service address will be used to sign in to OnBoard Edge Service and the Programming Station client.

   

Check the programming station information
