Quick set up of setting template

Functions of setting template are wide and complex, however in most cases you just need to set up a few things to be ready to go. So let’s check mandatory fields to start testing.

We will show hot to create setting template from zero.
If you are editing an existing template, go to part II.

I. Creation of new template.

After choosing admin template, wait a bit till all elements will be loaded.

When ready, you will be able to see setting template tree on the left:

Reds - are elements which are not filled yet. Most of them you do not need.

There are two buttons to interact with template - Expand (will expand all tree of template) and clear (will delete all reds, or improperly filled fields).

Click “Clear” to delete all unnecessary fields.

II. Mandatory set up within setting template.

There are three fields, which are most necessary to start testing and see results:

Name;
Connectivity > Telemetry server > MQTT broker address;
Connectivity > GSM/GPRS > APN list;
Data recording > Simple.

a) Name.

Set an understandable name and add notes.

 

b) Set address where to send data.

All data will be sent to broker, so set address and port where data should be sent:

Set host and port.
Additionally, you might need to set Authorization or other parts, depending on integration made on broker side.

 

c) Set APN of SIM inserted to device.

To configure you would need to know MCC, MNC and APN of SIM.
Note. MCC, MNC are five first digits of IMSI code (123 - MCC, 45 - MNC).

If you use few different operators, can insert all of them, but mandatory is the one of SIM, inserted to device.

d) Set which data should be sent to send to broker.

In ‘Data recording’ click on “Simple” and then “+ Add” button to create a packet, which will be sent to server.

Also, you can use button of “Import preset” and choose preset based on type of device, for example:
