==Differences between Offline and Online Configuration==
== Differences between Offline and Online Configuration==
Offline configuration refers to creating a configuration without any device connected. Later you can load this configuration file created in offline mode into the device remotely (via [[FOTA WEB|'''FOTA WEB''']]) or when a device is connected to your PC. On the other hand, Online Configuration refers to creating a configuration with a device connected and you can directly save the changes into the device.
