Tunnel – Advanced tunnel 2G/3G/4G-Serial – Settings for MTX-Tunnel as TCP/IP Client with a connection 3 times an hour

¿Buscas alguna otra cosa?

Scenario details:

  • We have 100 devices with an RS232 port (115200,8,N,1 and flow control HW), which need to be monitored from a Central Control Post via GPRS. For this MTX-Tunnel will be used, which will act as a 2G/3G/4G-Serial transparent tunnel
  • The modems will be periodically connected, for 5 minutes every 20 minutes, to a central server via a TCP client socket
  • Once connected to the central server, the modems must identify themselves by sending an identifier string+IMEI. After sending the identifier string, the modem must set a 2G/3G/4GRS232 transparent gateway for those 5 minutes
  • To be able to access the remote maintenance of the modem, the Telnet service and SMS settings must be enabled

Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-Java-IoT/MTX-Java-T/MTX-Java-T2
