Cloud Configuration for the M2MBridge

Cloud Configuration

• Create an amtechM2mBridge instance (See "/amtech/linkeddata/types/composite/entity/amtechM2mBridge")
• Create an actor actorX with the polices required by the activity(s) (See Actors)
  • Add the things type polices the bridge needs to the actor actorX
• Register a follower (See Roles)
  • Assign to follower actor actorX access
• Activity observation configuration (See Observation production configuration)
  • Add the Things types the bridge will use (See Thing types)
    • Add the observations types from selected thing type the bridge will produce or consume (See Observations and observation types CRUD observations)
  • Configure the topic that m2mBridge will listen for crud and command observations has to matched with others things' observation production configuration linked to this m2mBridge configuration (See Observation production configuration Topics)
• Things instance creation
  • Configuring autoDiscover (See Edge Configuration)
    • The bridge will request the DAP to clone templateId instance with the name convention bridgeIdPrefix:(device mac address) from bridgeConfig.json
    • the things instances linked to the templateId property bridgeInstances will be cloned with the name convention bridgeIdPrefix:(device mac address):thing._name from bridgeConfig.json
    • cloned instance will be giving the access control owner to the follower user id of the bridge that requested it.
• Monitoring M2MBridge status
  • Create an SNMPDevice instance and give access to your M2MBridge actor (See "/amtech/linkeddata/types/composite/entity/SNMPDevice")
    • Send observations to /m2mBridge/snmp/read a core activity /amtech/activities/monitorM2MBridgeStatus will analyze the data and notify to the user and guestusers of the M2MBridge instance.
      • This get done by setting at the observation production configuration /observationproductionconfig/SNMPDevice/observationsproducedconfig/snmpRead topic to value /m2mBridge/snmp/ (See Observation production configuration)
