Contents
Functionality
- Configurable edge intelligence
- Bridges standard and proprietary protocols to AMTech IoT DAP.
- Device-to-device or device-to-cloud communications.
- MQTT, LLRP, CoAP, STOMP, SmartM2M, LWM2M, PLC, Zigbee and others
- Allow remote and centralized control of IoT devices and gateways.
- SNMP/MIB/TRAP, Reader Management and other
- Configurable auto-discover
- Implements common functionality and orchestrates the execution of the protocols
- Network failure detection and recovery
- Get centralized configuration information at startup and real time modifications
- Access control policies to manage observation production and consumption
Edge Configuration
- Edge/Device(s) site configuration bridgeConfig.json

Cloud Configuration
- Create an "m2mBridge" actor (See Actors)
- Add the things type polices the bridge needs access to
- Police must have user check; enabling instance access control by m2mBridge instance
- Include in the polices the thing types the bridge instantiates
- Register a follower
- Give actor "m2mBridge" access
- Uniquely identify each m2mBridge
- Activity observation configuration:
- Configure the observations types the bridge will produce
- Configure the topic that m2mBridge will listen for crud and command observations to be matched with bridgeConfig.json property
//topic to get crud and command observations
"dap":{
"crudCommandUrl" :"/xx/xx/"
}
- Things instance creation:
*Using amtech creator experience *Configuring autoDiscover entry at bridgeConfig.json //auto discover configuration "autoDiscover":{ //create things type instances at startup time "execute" : false, //Jsonld instances of the thing to be created "SNMPDevice":[ { "setOIDs": "[{\"oid\":\".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0\", \"type\":\"OctetString\", \"value\":\"Irvine California\"}]", "_lastmodified": 1450988442414, "guestusers": [], "@type": "/amtech/linkeddata/types/composite/entity/SNMPDevice", "_resourcestatus": "valid", "_name": "snmpClientM2mBridge", "getOIDs": "[{\"name\":\"memoryTotal\", \"oid\":\".1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.5.0\"}, {\"name\":\"memoryAvailable\", \"oid\":\".1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.6.0\"}]", "ipaddress": "localhost", "communityString": "private", "emaillist": "", "instanceobservationconfig": "{}", "creationDate": "2015-12-24T20:20:42.407Z", "readFrequency": "PT10M", "guesttenants": [ "follower_m2mcreator@@amtech.mx" ], "description": "An SNMPDevice instance acting as SNMP manager/client proxying snmp commands (get/set/trups) to manager a ubuntu box hosting m2mbridge", "phonelist": "", "@id": "/amtech/things/entities/snmpClientM2mBridge", "snmpVersion": "2c", "_user": "m2mcreator@amtech.mx" } ], …}
Plugins architecture
How to implement a new plugin
- Clone git repository (https://github.com/AMTechMX/M2MBridge.git)
- at /.../M2MBridge/plugins create a directory that matched with the Thing type name to bridge example SNMPDevice
- Implement a nodejs module with the following interface
function SNMPDevice() { } SNMPDevice.prototype.start = function ( context, complete) { try { complete(null); } catch (e) { complete(e); } }; SNMPDevice.prototype.stop = function (complete) { try { complete(null); } catch (e) { complete(e); } }; SNMPDevice.prototype.command = function (observation, complete) { try { complete(null); } catch (e) { complete(e); } }; module.exports.SNMPDevice = SNMPDevice;
How to install it
- Clone git repository (https://github.com/AMTechMX/M2MBridge.git)
- Install nodejs https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
- Install npm (http://blog.npmjs.org/post/85484771375/how-to-install-npm)
- Delete at /.../M2MBridge/plugins/xxx unneeded plug-ins
- Install packages for m2mBridge core and plug-ins (https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install:)
- Execute npm install at:
- M2MBridge directory
- each plug-in directory
