Keep updated

To use Building Operator Local, LAN 1 of the Edge Gateway does not need to be connected to the Internet. However, in 2 situations, LAN 1 must be (temporarily) connected to the Internet:

• When changes are made in the Top Control project, the metadata must be re-uploaded with the TC Metadata Uploader (more info).
  Note: This tool uploads the metadata to the cloud. The metadata is available in the cloud for 96 hours. After the upload, the metadata will be downloaded to the Edge Gateway so that it can be used by Building Operator Local. Make sure you wait long enough for the metadata to be downloaded before disconnecting the Edge Gateway from the Internet.
  
  
• When Building Operator has been updated, you can get these updates in Building Operator Local by updating the module on the Edge Gateway via Installation & Maintenance.
