manage devices in multiple locations.

• BRAdmin Professional 4 Administrators must have access to Microsoft Azure Storage (Cloud).
• Device management is not a real-time process.
• Web Based Management is not available via Microsoft Azure.
Master
When BRAdmin Professional 4 is configured as the “Master”: The Master manages Clients, Cloud Connections,
and local devices, collects information from multiple devices managed by each Client or Cloud Connection via
Microsoft Azure Storages, and runs instant tasks.
Client
When BRAdmin Professional 4 is configured as the “Client”: BRAdmin Professional 4 compatible-devices connect
to Microsoft Azure via the Client. The Client regularly uploads device data to Microsoft Azure. This requires the
Client-installed computer to always be ON. When a Client computer is OFF, any devices connected to that Client
show as Connection error on the Master device list.
Cloud Connection
Cloud Connection-compatible devices connect directly to Microsoft Azure, and uploads data to the Microsoft Azure
regularly.
Each device can only be managed with one connection type - Client OR Cloud Connection.
