Scenario details:
- There are a few hundreds of devices with RS232 port ( configurated at a 115200,8,N,1 and flow control HW). We need to monitor them from a Computer with Internet connection
- It should be possible to access RS232 devices at any moment, therefore the modem connected to the serial port of the device should be connected to 4G 100 % of the time waiting for a connection (or to 3G if there is no 4G coverage). The modems will remain waiting for incoming connections through TCP 20010 port to create 4G-RS232 transparent gateway
- SIM cards with private APN providing fixed IP address will be used
- The modems should be supervised by SNMPv2c protocol. By means of the protocol it should be possible to read the state of the modems as well as their configuration. Via SNMP it should be also possible to change remote configuration, as well as carry out remote resets, if necessary, and fulfill any other task
Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-Java-IoT/MTX-Java-T/MTX-Java-T2
EXAMPLE of configuration (config.txt file) for the scenario that each MTX-Tunnel should have:

Details:
- To download MIBS database for SNMP use the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6bfa0xxh4xcykp/MTXTUNNEL-MIB?dl=0
- The MIB provided in the previous link can import it in its SNMP management software. Here is an example of SNMP query where the coverage (in dBm) and firmware version were read.If you want to try out the same software, be sure to fill in the fields marked in red
- Use 2 OIDs to carry out actions: the one indicated as mtx Reset and the one indicated as mtx ATCommand. The first one will help you to execute a remote reset of the device. The second one will allow to execute an AT command in the modem the same way it would do it through Telnet,SMS…
- To execute an AT command via SNMP, simply send it to be executed together with a SET command of the OID mtx ATCommand. Then, to read the result of the AT command, execute a GET command of the same OID. The execution of the command AT+CSQ for coverage reading is shown on the screen below
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.
Wait. The concentrator will reboot using its factory configuration.
