Azure IoT Hub Publisher Connection

With the Azure IoT Hub publisher connection, the IoTWorX can publish data to Azure IoT Hub.

Azure IoT Hub Publisher Connection provides a connection to Microsoft Azure IoT Hub which specific connection properties can be configured in the following sections.

Default Publish list settings

In order to ensure remote configuration capabilities of IoTWorX via Workbench, a default publish list can be created automatically when there isn’t any publish list configured.

Once a publish list (insert link to Publish Lists?) is created in IoTWorX configuration in Workbench, it will be used for remote configuration, and the default publish list will not be created.
