-Your sensor was onboarded with Microsoft Defender for IoT from the Azure portal. Each sensor was onboarded as either a locally connected sensor or a cloud-connected sensor.
+Each OT sensor is onboarded as a cloud-connected or locally-managed OT sensor and activated using a unique activation file. For cloud-connected sensors, the activation file is used to ensure the connection between the sensor and Azure.
 
-A unique activation file is uploaded to each sensor that you deploy. The activation file for cloud-connected sensors is used to ensure the connection to Defender for IoT.
