Telit

The Meshlium Cloud Connector for the Telit deviceWISE IoT Cloud platform is provided to connect Libelium Waspmote sensor devices to the Telit Cloud Platform.

Register in Telit

The basic steps required to connect Waspmote sensors to the cloud platform are simple and straight forward:

a) Using the Telit Management Portal at portal.telit.com:

  • Create/Obtain a Telit IoT Portal Account on a Cloud Organization.
  • Define 2 Thing Definitions:
    • Meshlium Cloud Connector.
    • Waspmote Sensor.
  • Create an Application Token for the Meshlium Cloud Connector Definition.

b) Using the Meshlium Manager System web browser interface:

  • Access the Telit deviceWISE TR-50 Cloud Platform Configuration Panel.
  • Enter and Save the configuration details for your Meshlium including the Application Token created above.
  • Start the deviceWISE TR-50 Sensor Processing Service.

Once your Telit IoT Cloud account has been configured with the new 'Thing Definitions' and 'Application' in support of the Meshlium Cloud Connector, you are ready to proceed with configuring your Meshlium gateway.

Configuration

Select the 'Telit deviceWISE Cloud Connector' service icon located on the Cloud Connector -> Basic Cloud Partner panel. Configure the fields to provide the required configuration and control information on the 'Telit deviceWISE Cloud Connector' management panel as shown below.

Where:

  • 'Cloud Server URL' specifies the target Telit IoT Cloud Platform.
  • 'Meshlium Id' indicates the unique name that you would like your Meshlium Gateway to be known as in the Telit IoT Cloud Platform.
  • 'Application Token' indicates the unique secure token generated by the Telit IoT Cloud Platform for devices to be able to access your private cloud organization.
  • 'Process Frequency' indicates how often the cloud connector should check for and process newly received data frames from the associated Waspmote/Edge devices. Valid values range from 30 to 120 seconds.
  • 'Process Limit' specifies the maximum number of waiting records to process during the data frame processing cycle. Valid values range from 8 to 200.

Once all settings are provided, save the configuration settings by pressing the Save button.

At this point the Meshlium Cloud Connector is configured and ready to start.

Controlling synchronization

Once the Telit deviceWISE IoT Cloud Connector has been configured with the proper runtime parameters, it is ready for operation. To initiate the connection from the Meshlium gateway to the Telit IoT Cloud Platform and start the background service awaiting data frames from Waspmote sensor device nodes, press the Start button. To initiate the connection from the Meshlium gateway to the Telit IoT Cloud Platform and start the background service awaiting data frames from Waspmote sensor device nodes, press the Start button.
