You can open a Belden Horizon Data Operations device from the *Edge Devices* module. 

# Before You Begin

- Retrieve Login credentials for the edge device you are opening.
- Open firewall when you want to open an edge device.
- Ensure the edge devices version is v3.1.1.0 or later as you can not open edge devices for which the version is earlier than v3.1.1.0.

To open the edge device, click the **Open** **UI** icon next to an edge device, or from the **Action menu** icon next to an edge device.

Opening an edge device from Belden Horizon Data Manager allows you to access and manage your connected edge devices. You do not need access to public internet to access your edge devices.

# Restrictions

Access to the edge device is through Belden Horizon Data Manager. The IP address in the browser is the same as Belden Horizon Data Manager.
