==Prerequisites==
==Prerequisites==
You will need:
You will need:
* A router from the RUT2xx, RUT9xx series or RUTX09
* An Azure IoT Hub account
*A router from the RUT2xx, RUT9xx series or RUTX09
*An Azure IoT Hub account
==Azure account creation==
Visit <nowiki>https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/</nowiki> and create an account that will suit your needs, for testing purposes we will be using free Azure account.
==Managing Azure services==
<ul>
<li>First you will want to create a Resource group for easier management of resources that you will add later. In Microsoft Azure home page.</li>
<ul>Select '''Resource groups''' <br>If it is not in very first page, click '''More services''' and locate it there. </ul>
<div>[[File:Azure01.png|thumb|1130x1130px]]</div>

<li>And then finish creating yours Resource group </li>
<li>Select your subscription, we are using '''Free Trial''' for this test.
# Name your group
# Finally, choose server location for meta data. We will choose '''''(South America) Brazil South''''' and will use it during test where available.</li>

<div>2. Leave everything else on default and press '''Save'''</div>
</li>
{|
