URL/Tag	Description
Record Name—_WMS_MGMT Record FQDN—_WMS_MGMT._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type— SRV	This record points to the Edge Device Manager server URL. For example, edmserver.acme.com:443, where edmserver.acme.com is fully qualified domain name of the server where Edge Device Manager is installed. For links to register your devices in Edge Device Manager in public cloud, see Getting started with EDM on public cloud. NOTE: Do not use https:// in the server URL, or the device will not register in Edge Device Manager.
Record Name—_WMS_MQTT Record FQDN—_WMS_MQTT._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type—SRV	This record directs the device to the Edge Device Manager Push Notification server (PNS). To register your devices in Edge Device Manager public cloud, the device must point to the PNS (MQTT) servers in public cloud. For example, US1—us1-pns.wysemanagementsuite.com EU1—eu1-pns.wysemanagementsuite.com
Record Name—_WMS_GROUPTOKEN Record FQDN—_WMS_GROUPTOKEN._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type— TEXT	This record is required to register the devices with Edge Device Manager on public cloud. This record is optional to register the Windows or Ubuntu Core devices with Edge Device Manager on private cloud. If the record is not available, then the devices are automatically registered to the unmanaged group during on-premise installation.
Record Name—_WMS_CAVALIDATION Record FQDN—_WMS_CAVALIDATION._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type—TEXT	Do not add this option tag if the devices are registered with Edge Device Manager on public cloud.
