The following EdgeCmd commands configure specific facets of the data source.
The examples in this topic use the default port number 5590. If your adapter uses a different port, you will have to include that in the command. For instance: edgecmd -port 5591 <RestOfTheCommand>.
Also, the examples in the table show different componentIds, so make sure to use the right componentId for your adapter.
