Gateway Bench

Watch what a gateway is hearing, and ask it for a readout.

What an export holds

A file and a delivery leave out a value whose subunit, tariff or storage number is above these. An empty box is no limit. Storage 0 is the present value; a higher one is a past period.

Users

A user with a tick sees this logger, changes it, starts and stops it, and reads what it kept. They cannot change its name, its preset, or gateways an administrator wrote. Administrators have every logger.

What they may see

A contractor sees the gateways named here, on the broker named here, and the meters named here. With no meter named they see every meter those gateways hear, which on a shared gateway includes a neighbour's.

Readout

The gateway starts the readout at the time you choose. The message is sent now to a gateway that is connected. A gateway that is not connected receives it when it connects. A gateway that does not connect before that time does not read.

Messages

Every message sent to this gateway and received from it on this broker, in any session. The telegrams of the meters are not here. The newest message is first, and the times are in this browser’s time.

Timestamp Topic Message

Schedule

A gateway keeps these settings. It connects at the times the schedule names, in UTC, and disconnects after the idle timeout with nothing to send or receive. More connections and a longer timeout use more battery.

Update the firmware

The gateway downloads the image and installs it once any readout has finished, then restarts. An image uploaded here is served by the bench itself, over plain HTTP, which the gateway can always reach. Plain HTTP is safe for this: the image is encrypted and signed, so nobody can read it or change it on the way. A bad image is refused and the gateway keeps the version it has. A gateway that is not connected is sent the update when it next connects, if that is within 30 hours.

On a server of your own, it must answer without a sign-in, and over TLS it must use an ECDSA certificate.

New image

A .gbl file from Qundis. The bench keeps it until you delete it, and serves it to every gateway you send it to.

eDRX

With eDRX the modem sleeps for the interval and wakes to check the network, while the connection stays open. A longer interval saves battery, and the gateway cannot be reached while it sleeps. If you are not sure what the network supports, do not choose more than 20.48 s.

New battery

After a new battery is fitted, the gateway starts counting what it uses from nought, and needs the new battery's capacity to say how much is left. The capacity is on the battery's label.
