After you are done with configuring the IE switch to communicate with the Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard, you can add the device to SEA service.

Note

Only the SEA System Admin role can open the SEA Management menu option that provides secure remote communication to Network Devices or Assets. Cisco also provides a guided New User Workflow designed to help a first-time SEA System Admin to access a remote OT Asset in a few steps. For more information, see SEA: New User Workflow. For a more efficient means of installing and updating Network Devices or Assets, see SEA Quick Wizard.
