EFM Emerson ROC provides a configuration section to the Ignition Gateway and this can be seen in the left side menu bar of the Ignition Gateway web UI. Once configured, a device connection must be created, TLP definitions specified and TLP templates and poll groups must be created

To finish configuring Emerson ROC device, the following three things (as detailed in EFM Emerson ROC Quickstart document) need to be done:
- Specify TLP Definitions (only if the "Add All TLP Definitions" was not enabled)
- Provide TLP Templates by importing TLP-template CSV file
- Configure TLP Poll Groups by importing TLP-poll-group CSV file
When this is done, the 'Devices' configuration page will show the 'Status' of each device set to 'Connected'.
