"TXOne's Deployment Assistant is just the lifesaver we have long yearned for. It saves us from countless hours of manual setup, transforming what used to be a labor-intensive setup into a streamlined operation."

2. Device Import (Optional): Import Edge device configurations into Deployment Assistant.
3. Authentication & Discovery: Log in to Edge devices and discover all devices within your network.
4. Configuration: Complete the initial batch setup for your Edge devices.
5. Summary: Review, and if necessary, export configuration details to an Excel file.

EdgeFire 2.0 Patched Version Provides Unrivaled Protection and Performance
