Hi Guys!!

I’m creating a C# Solution using the information retreived from Milestone and use it to access thir party API : EdgeVis

The idea is to link a Milestone Device (encoder) with the EdgeVis Encoder. The first idea is to use the name of the encoders but wondering if there is another way , using for example and ID or value i can use from Milestone side.

Thanks for any comment.

Hi,

I will suggest using the MAC address of the encoder for the mapping. You can get the MAC address through the Configuration API. Since you are in C# the easiest is to use this class (it’s in the properties collection):

How to get the MAC address from the EdgeVis device itself I don’t know.

Best regards,

Peter
