MQTT-SN Transparent / Aggregating Gateway
MQTT-SN requires a MQTT-SN Gateway which acts as a protocol converter to convert MQTT-SN messages to MQTT messages. MQTT-SN client over SensorNetwork can not communicate directly with MQTT broker(TCP/IP).
This Gateway can run as a transparent or aggregating Gateway by specifying the gateway.conf.
step1. Build the gateway
$ git clone -b develop https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt-sn.embedded-c
$ cd paho.mqtt-sn.embedded-c/MQTTSNGateway
$ ./build.sh [udp|udp6|xbee|loralink|rfcomm]
In order to build a gateway, an argument is required.
MQTT-SNGateway and MQTT-SNLogmonitor (executable programs) are built in the Build directory.
step2. Execute the Gateway.
$ cd bin
$ ./MQTT-SNGateway
If you get the error message as follows:
RingBuffer can't create a shared memory.
ABORT Gateway!!!
You have to start using sudo command only once for the first time.
$ sudo ./MQTT-SNGateway
How to Change the configuration of the gateway
gateway.conf Contents are follows:
# config file of MQTT-SN Gateway # BrokerName=mqtt.eclipseprojects.io BrokerPortNo=1883 BrokerSecurePortNo=8883 # # When AggregatingGateway=YES or ClientAuthentication=YES, # All clients must be specified by the ClientList File # ClientAuthentication=NO AggregatingGateway=NO QoS-1=NO Forwarder=NO MaxNumberOfClients=30; #ClientsList=/path/to/your_clients.conf PredefinedTopic=NO #PredefinedTopicList=/path/to/your_predefinedTopic.conf #RootCAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt #RootCApath=/etc/ssl/certs/ #CertsFile=/path/to/certKey.pem #PrivateKey=/path/to/privateKey.pem GatewayID=1 GatewayName=PahoGateway-01 KeepAlive=900 #LoginID=your_ID #Password=your_Password # UDP GatewayPortNo=10000 MulticastIP=225.1.1.1 MulticastPortNo=1883 MulticastTTL=1 # UDP6 GatewayUDP6Bind=FFFF:FFFE::1 GatewayUDP6Port=10000 GatewayUDP6Broadcast=FF02::1 GatewayUDP6If=wpan0 GatewayUDP6Hops=1 # XBee Baudrate=38400 SerialDevice=/dev/ttyUSB0 ApiMode=2 #LoRaLink BaudrateLoRaLink=115200 DeviceRxLoRaLink=/dev/ttyLoRaLinkRx DeviceTxLoRaLink=/dev/ttyLoRaLinkTx # Bluetooth RFCOMM RFCOMMAddress=60:57:18:06:8B:72.* # LOG ShearedMemory=NO;
BrokerName to specify a domain name of the Broker, and BrokerPortNo is a port No of the Broker. BrokerSecurePortNo is for TLS connection.
MulticastIP and MulticastPortNo is a multicast address for GWSEARCH messages. Gateway is waiting GWSEARCH and when receiving it send GWINFO message via MulticastIP address. Clients can get the gateway address (Gateway IP address and GatewayPortNo) from GWINFO message by means of std::recvfrom().
Client should know the MulticastIP and MulticastPortNo to send a SEARCHGW message.
GatewayId is used by GWINFO message.
KeepAlive is a duration of ADVERTISE message in seconds.
when AggregatingGateway or ClientAuthentication is YES, All clients which connect to the gateway must be declared by a ClientsList file.
Format of the file is ClientId and SensorNetwork Address. e.g. IP address and Port No etc, in CSV. more detail see clients.conf.
When QoS-1 is YES, QoS-1 PUBLISH is available. All clients which send QoS-1 PUBLISH must be specified by Client.conf file.
When PredefinedTopic is YES, Pre-definedTopicIds specified by PredefinedTopicList are effective. This file defines Pre-definedTopics of the clients. In this file, ClientID,TopicName and TopicID are declared in CSV format.
When Forwarder is YES, Forwarder Encapsulation Message is available. Connectable Forwarders must be declared by a ClientsList file.
MaxNumberOfClients Maximum number of clients allocated.
** How to monitor the gateway from remote. **
Change gateway.conf as follows:
# LOG
ShearedMemory=YES;
Restart the gateway with sudo only once to create shared memories.
open ssh terminal and execute LogMonitor.
$ cd bin
$ ./MQTT-SNLogmonitor
Now you can get the Log on your terminal.
** Tips **
Uncomment the line 62, 63 in MQTTSNDefines.h then you can get more precise logs.
