Cloud Configuration for the M2MBridge

• Create an amtechM2mBridge thing (Go to "/amtech/linkeddata/types/composite/entity/amtechM2mBridge")
  • This thing name is assigned to templateId at bridgeConfig.json (See Edge Configuration)
  • Set the bridge production configuration by editing the template instance (See m2mBridge production configuration)
    • Add the Things types that produced observations (See Thing types)
      • Add the observations types from selected things type the m2mBridge will produce or consume (See Observations and observation types CRUD observations)
  • Configure the topic that m2mBridge will listen for CRUD and command observations, CRUD and command topic must be unique to an user configuration.(See Observation production configuration Topics)
    • When the bridge starts the m2mBridgw and the things linked to it by property bridgeInstances will be cloned and own by the user id assigned to the M2MBridge. (See Actors)

This configuration ensures centralized management and auto-discovering.

• Create an actor actorX with polices required by the bridge instances (See Actors)
  • Add the polices needs by the bridge configuration
• Register a follower (See Actors)
  • Assign to the follower actorX access
• 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 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 M2MBridge.
• Monitoring M2MBridge status
  • Create an SNMPDevice and link it to M2MBridge thing property bridgeInstances (See "/amtech/linkeddata/types/composite/entity/SNMPDevice")
    • Configure topic 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.(See Observation production configuration)
