Azure IoT Central gateway (not Azure IoT Edge): How to send downstream devices' telemetry data?

Hi,

I've read the following page and I tried the tutorial using the real devices (not simulated devices).

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/core/tutorial-define-gateway-device-type

I think this gateway is not Azure IoT Edge.
I don't know how to send downstream devices' telemetry data via gateway.
My questions are:

Q1. Whose SAS should the gateway use? I believe it's the gateway's.
Q2. What JSON format should the gateway use? I guess it has downstream device's id or something to distinguish downstream devices. But I couldn't find the info.

I might have misunderstanding about Azure IoT Central gateway.
Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.

Best regards,
takemori

Thank you for the answer!

In the first link,

On the Select template type page, select the IoT Device tile, and then select Next: Customize.

I believe this means that the gateway device template is not for Azure IoT Edge.
I've already done this step.

On the other hand, in the second link, the gateway is Azure IoT Edge. So I don't think I can refer the document.

I'd like to know about the gateway device which is not Azure IoT Edge.
Could you answer my first two questions?

@takemori-1500 Even I too see the two documents, let me clarify the confusion with my team and get back to you!

Is there any update on this? Is it possible to create a gateway device (using some of the Azure IoT SDKs), without running the full IoT Edge runtime?
