Tunnel – DNS Parameter configuration: “DNS_”

In the previous section about DynDNS we explained how and why we use it when we have a few remote modem SIMs that have dynamic IP addresses. If you plan to use and control a large number of devices, this is not practical. Also, DynDNS requires you to have an external server, which means that any possible drops on the server are harder to control.

The following parameters are useful for when you are required to use your own server to collect the changes detected by MTX-Tunnel in the IP addresses.

In other words, these parameters will make sure MTX-Tunnel informs your server of any changes in its IP address, giving you complete control of the system at all times.

DNS_enabled

Description: enable the DNS service using your own server. Every time the modem starts a data connection or changes the IP address, it is sent to your configured server.

Possible values:

  • on, off
  • Default value: off

Additional notes:

  • Only use the DNS feature when your SIM is dynamic IP provisioned. It makes no sense to use a dynamic IP provisioned SIM if your network operator has fixed IP addressing
  • DNS must be used in incoming connection requests with MTX-Tunnel services using socket servers like:
    • GPRS-Serial RS232 server mode tunnel
    • WebServer
    • Telnet
    • If you are going to use MTX-Tunnel client connection services, meaning that the MTXTunnel starts with a connection from a well known IP address, the DNS service is not needed and must be disabled (value “off”)

DNS_mode

Description: The MTXTunnel mode, in which MTX-Tunnel sends the change in IP address to a server. We can use a TCP socket or HTTP protocol for web server.

Possible values:

  • socket, socketjson, http, mqtt
  • Default value: socket

Additional notes:

  • If you are going to write your own code/application, use the “socket” option
  • If you already have a web server and the code is written in ASP or PHP, we recommend that you use the “http” option
  • If you are going to send data from sensors to a MQTT broker, it will be easier to use the “mqtt” method. From the MTX-Tunnel 9.25 on it is possible to configure the “mqtt” mode. If you select this method don’t forget to configure the MQTT parameters and the DNS_mqttTopic parameter

DNS_password

Description: You can secure this service by setting up a password. MTX-Tunnel will send the DNS_password in any new GPRS connection or if there are any IP address changes and your server will have to check the password.

Possible values:

  • A text string of up to 64 characters
  • Default value: none

Additional notes:

  • DNS_password is sent using either “socket” or “http” transmission mode

DNS_server

Description:

  • Socket mode: (DNS_mode: socket) The value is the DNS or IP server address where the new IP address is to be sent..
  • HTTP mode: (DNS_mode: http) The value is the URL (domain + web page) of the WebServer to which you will pass on information about the new IP address.

Possible values:

  • Text string of less than 255 characters
  • Default value: none

Additional notes:

  • In HTTP mode “DNS_mode: http”, DNS_server URL does not include “http://” string. DNS example URL: www.mtxtunnel.com/dns.asp
  • In Socket mode, MTX-Tunnel sends the following string to the server:
#IMEI#DNS_password#IPPublica#
  • In HTTP mode, MTX-Tunnel sends the following string to server:
URL?IMEI=<suIMEI>&PASS=<DNS_password>&IP=<IP Public>
  • If you program web pages in ASP, you can collect the information using this method as an example:
<%
IMEI=Request.QueryString(“IMEI”)
Password=Request.QueryString(“PASS”)
IP=Request.QueryString(“IP”)
%>

DNS_port

Description: TCP DNS server port being used in DNS socket mode (DNS_mode: socket).

Possible values:

  • 1… 65535
  • Default value: 20011

Additional notes:

  • Only use this parameter if “socket”mode is used. If you use “http” mode, the standard port is 80. However if you use another one, you need to include it in the DNS_server parameter
  • E.g. if you are going to use port 20011, DNS_server value parameter is: www.mtxtunnel.com:20011/dns.asp

DNS_extended

Description: if enabled, and only if the DNS service is enabled too (DNS_enabled: on), MTX-Tunnel will send the password and IP address information together with the IMEI and more information like the GPIO status. This is useful in telemetry applications. To send additional information, DNS_extended must be configured to “on”.

Possible values:

  • on, off
  • Default value: off

Additional notes:

  • DNS_extended “on”, DNS_mode set as “socket”, the information sent to the server is:
#IMEI#DNS_password#IPPublica#gpio1#gpio2#gpio3#gpio4#gpio5
#gpio6#gpio7#gpio8#gpio9#gpio10#ADC1#ADC2#<gpsLocation>#

The additional extended information is shown.
gpioX is input/output X value (0 -1)
ADCX is analog to digital converter X value.
In the MTX terminal modems with GPS receiver, the GPS location information is also added.

  • DNS_extended “on”, DNS_mode set as “http”, the information sent to the server is:
URL?IMEI=<suIMEI>&PASS=<DNS_password>&IP=<IP Public> &GPIO1=X
&GPIO2=X &GPIO3=X &GPIO4=X &GPIO5=X &GPIO6=X &GPIO7=X &GPIO8=X
&GPIO9=X &GPIO10=X &ADC1=X&ADC2=X&GPS=<gpsLocation>

The additional extended information is shown.
gpioX is input/output X value (0 -1)
ADCX is analog to digital converter X value.
In the MTX terminal modems with GPS receiver, the GPS location information is also added.

DNS_gpios

Description: When this parameter is enabled it can send DNS information (which can include GPIO and ADC values if DNS_extended = “on”) when there is a change in a digital input.

Possible values:

  • on, off
  • Default value: off

Additional notes:

  • MTX-Tunnel sends just one data DNS information string if there has been one or several changes in digital inputs
  • Parameter available from version MTX-Tunnel v5.3

DNS_adc1, DNS_adc2

Description: This parameter, if enabled, can send DNS information (which can include GPIO and ADC values if DNS_extended = “on”) only when the analog input is above or below trigger value.

Possible values:

  • Possible values: 0, 250 … 47750
  • Default value: 0

Additional notes:

  • 0 value disables this feature and a DNS string will be not sent
  • DNS_adcX >=250 sets the trigger analog value above or below +-250mV, if it exceeds this value a DNS frame string will be sent
  • DNS_adc1: 1200 means that when DNS_adc1 > 1200mV + 250mV, the DNS text string will be sent, as well as when DNS_adc2 < 1200mV – 250mV
  • Parameter available from MTX-Tunnel v5.3

DNS_period

Description: A data string with the DNS information is sent whenever the MTX-Tunnel IP address changes, but you can also define it to send the IP address periodically. This is useful for a more secure indication of IP address changes and it establishes timing periods by sending telemetric data if the DNS_extended parameter is enabled (value “on”).

  • 0, 30… 2592000
  • Default value: 0

Additional notes:

  • Value=0 means DNS information is not sent periodically
  • Value of time is in seconds

DNS_httpMode

Description: This parameter allows you to choose the type of communication that will be used when DNS_mode is set to “http” mode. You can choose between “get” and “json”

Possible values:

  • get, getjson, postjson
  • Default value: get

Additional notes:

  • The parameter is available from MTX-Tunnel version 8.10 onwards. Before this version the only possible option was “get”. It is strongly recommended not to use the option “get”, and
    use the option ‘’getjson” or “postjson”.
  • EXAMPLE of data transmission in “get” mode where DNS_extended parameter has the value “off”:

DNS_serverLogin

Description: This parameter allows you to establish a login (username) that must be used by MTX-Tunnel to send data to a Web server containing a Login/Password authentication system.

Possible values:

  • Text string of up to 64 characters
  • Default value: none

Additional notes:

  • If your web server does not use a simple authentication system consisting of a Login and Password, this parameter is not necessary. It is necessary, however, in those web servers that
    use authentication systems.
  • This parameter is available in versions of MTX-Tunnel from v8.10.

DNS_serverPassword

Description: This parameter allows you to establish a password that must be used by MTX-Tunnel to send data to a Web server containing a Login/Password authentication system.

Possible values:

  • Text string of up to 64 characters
  • Default value: none

Additional notes:

  • If your web server does not use a simple authentication system consisting of a Login and Password, this parameter is not necessary. It is necessary, however, in those web servers that use authentication systems.

DNS_https

Description: Allows to state whether information is sent via http or via https in encrypted format.

Possible values:

  • on, off
  • Default value: off

Additional notes:

  • Keep in mind that if you want to activate this option, you will need a web server with SSL support

DNS_header1, DNS_header2, DNS_header3

Description: Allows to use personalized HTTP headers.Very useful for communication between MTX-Tunnel and thirdparty web platforms (like THINGWORKS).

Possible values:

  • ASCII string up to 64 charaters
  • Default value: none

Additional notes:

  • The headers have the following format: nameHeader;valueHeader . That is to say, fields are separated by ; (semicolon)
  • You will find them necessary if you want your MTX-Tunnel to communicate with some generic platforms. For example, to communicate with Thingworks platform you will have to specify something similar to:
    DNS_header1: Content-Type;application/json
    DNS _header2: Accept;application/json
    DNS _header3: appKey;194f5476-7346-4638-ac30-bbca28595be1

DNS_mqttTopic

Description: Configure the topic that MTX-Tunnel will use to publish all data in the DNS_ service.

Possible values:

  • ASCII string up to 64 charaters
  • Default value: none

Additional notes:

  • In the same way as the MQTT_attopicX parameters, you can use the [IMEI] tag in the parameter and the MTX-Tunnel will internally replace that tag with the appropriate value. For example, if your modem has the IMEI 354740050182909 you could specify in the config.txt configuration file the value:
    DNS_mqttTopic: [IMEI]/DNS
    And the MTX-Tunnel would send the DNS service data using the topic:
    354740050182909/DNS
  • Data are sent to the MQTT topic in JSON format. Check the parameter DNS_httpMode to find information about sent JSON

FAQ

No, the concentrator is not able to decrypt data from WM-BUS equipment because it does not have a safe on board to guarantee the security of the encryption keys of your equipment. The recovered data is deposited without modification (without decryption) by the concentrator on your remote server.
Please check these items in this order:
  • the battery level: if the battery level is too low or empty, the product will not run properly or not run at all.
  • Modem reception level: a bad signal at the modem may also prevent the hub from uploading files. Look to move the product or install an external antenna to improve signal quality.
  • The last configuration file: a bad configuration file can block the product.

Remotely, by checking the regularly uploaded files if the product configuration is correct.

On site, by passing the magnet over the product, you will hear 3 short beeps.

Replace the product and inject the configuration from the old product into the new one. If a white list is used, remember to inject it into the new product as well.

Click “Login”

There are two configuration solutions, using the web interface and using text messages:
  • Configuration using the web interface:
Start by establishing a connection to the concentrator by connecting to it to access the server configuration: Enter the “ethernet” or “modem” connection type: For an ethernet configuration, make sure the IP parameters are compatible with server access according to the concentrator local network configuration. For an ethernet connection, the configuration must be compatible with the concentrator’s local network topology so that it can access the servers. This configuration is done from the “Networks” configuration page (see section 3.2.2.3: “Networks). For a modem connection, the modem configuration must be correct before a connection can be set up. This configuration is done from the “Modem” configuration page (see section 3.2.2.4: “Modem). The parameters for the servers to be configured are at least the following: Therefore the following fields need to be configured: “Interface”, “Type”, “Server type”, “Address”, “Port”, “Login” and “Password”. The other fields can be left at the default values subject to the directories having been properly created beforehand. See section 3.1.2: “Configuration files for more details.
  • Text message configuration:
Text message configuration requires sending the following commands:
      • Apn: to configure the SIM card APN. (see section 3.2:“apn” modem configuration command)
      • Ftp: to configure the FTP server that will contain the concentration configuration (see section 3.3: “ftp” FTP configuration command”).
      • Connect: to launch the connection to the FTP server and load the configuration (see section 3.1: ““connect” connection command

Access to the FTP server depends on the selected solution.

If you have chosen a portal, it will give you the FTP server access identifiers.

If you want to use your own FTP server, contact your network administrator.

For all other configurations, and to determine the best solution, contact the Webdyn sales department which will advise you and direct you to the relevant contacts: contact@webdyn.com

CONFIGURATION OF THE WEBDYNRF GATEWAY

  • If the file is deleted from the directory after connecting the WebdynRF gateway, the problem is usually due to a file format error. The configuration and control files must follow the format described in the schema (XSD) files. To check schema consistency, open the XML file with the Notepad++ text editor and install the “XML Tool” add-on. Next, copy the corresponding XSD file to the XML file in the same directory, and select “Validate now” in XML Tool. Errors detected by the tool should be displayed.
  • If the file is not deleted from the server, the most common problem is that the file has not been located correctly. The file must be available on the server in the “INBOX” directory and in the sub-directory bearing the product UID name (e.g.: “/INBOX/0045CE/”).

GENERAL USE OF THE WEBDYNRF GATEWAY

The amount of data exchanged on the GPRS network varies depending on the configuration. However, the average consumption would be about 5MB / month.
The WebdynRF gateway consumes an average of about 250mA.

There are 2 firmware updating methods:
Local updating:
On the WebdynRF configuration interface, go to the “Actions” tab and select the updater in the “File upload” menu before clicking on the “Upload” button

Remote updating:
Upload the file containing the updater (file with extension “.bz2”) in the “BIN” directory to the FTP server . Next, place the update command in the INBOX directory corresponding to your gateway (“INBOX/”, with, the identifier of the gateway concerned)

The update command must follow the following format:

      updater.tar.bz2
      checksum_md5

updater.tar.bz2
checksum_md5

With:

  • updater.tar.bz2: Updater file name uploaded to the “BIN” directory
  • checksum_md5: Md5 code of the updater file

A lack of connection to the FTP server may be due to a network connection problem (Ethernet or GPRS), an FTP login problem or a failure to initiate the connection.

If you cannot connect to the network, check the following points:

  • Ethernet:
    • Modem set to “off” or “always off”
    • “Gateway” fields correctly entered
    • At least one DNS server must be configured
  • GPRS:
    • Modem set to “on”
    • APN, APN ID and APN password correctly entered
    • GPRS call number set to “*99***1#”

If you cannot log in, check the following points:

  • Incorrect FTP parameters
  • TCP port 21 closed at output
  • Domain name resolution problem: the DNS server is not specified

If the connection fails to initiate:

In this case, only the automatic connection does not work. The problem is probably caused by an incorrect schedule configuration. Please note, the schedule ID must be an integer.

 PARTICULAR APPLICATION OF THE WEBDYNRF WIRELESS M-BUS GATEWAY

For the WM-bus module data to be transmitted, you must:

  • Choose the mode corresponding to the modules used (S, T or N)
  • Define the modules or groups of modules to be processed

A module may be defined in a unique way by all the fields below:

  • Id
  • Manufacturer
  • Version
  • Medium

If a module’s data is encrypted, the encryption key for this module can be defined in the “Key” field.

To simplify the entry of the modules to be processed, a module group can be defined that conforms to the fields entered. The other fields will then be left empty (below is an example of a configuration for retrieving all Webdyn manufacturer (WDN) modules with the encryption key “00000000000000000000000000000000”.

  •   Id :
  •   Manufacturer : WDN
  •   Medium :
  •   Version :
  •   Label : Webdyn
  •   Key : 00000000000000000000000000000000

Note: In order for the modules (filters) entered to be taken into account, the “ByPass filter” mode must be deactivated.

 PARTICULAR APPLICATION OF THE WEBDYNRF WAVENIS

The tool is connected to the gateway via the installer access (install).

It is therefore necessary to use the installer password (default is “middle”), and not the administrator’s password (default is “high”)

The statuses transmitted by the WebdynRF gateway are the raw values contained in the Wavenis modules. They are transmitted without interpretation. For further details, please refer to the Coronis module manuals.
