cliPort
r
The port number on which the telnet server will listen (default 22).
connectSchedule
r
Defines the connection schedule of the RTU. It uses a cron syntax,
ex: */10 means that the RTU should connect every ten minutes,
starting with minute 0. A complete cron string may specify minutes,
hours, days, months and the day of the week. The smallest unit that
can be set is therefore one minute. However, for practical reasons
related to cellular communication specifics, the minimum
recommended interval is five minutes. For additional details on
configuring cron, consult the unix man pages for crontab (5)
(https://man.openbsd.org/crontab.5).
connectSpread
r
The value of this attribute is specified in seconds. A random value in
the interval 0 ... connectSpread will be added to the computed
connectSchedule (default 30). If 0, no connection randomising will
be used. This is used to distribute the load on the server when
many RTUs initiate a connection at the same time.
date
r
Time stamp of the last successful update on the server; it represents
the time stamp for all volatile attributes.
gsmCCID
r
CCID of the SIM card.
gsmIMEI
r
IMEI of the cellular modem.
gsmNumber
r/w
Own number (MSISDN) allocated to the RTU (i.e., SIM card).
gsmType
r
The cellular modem type.
gsmVersion
r
The firmware version of the cellular modem.
hwID
r
Serial ID of the RTU.
hwType
r
RTU type.
manufacturer
r
RTU manufacturer’s name.
mpiBaudRate
r/w
The baud rate used by the MPI (the 8-pin connector, default 19200
Baud).
mpiMode
r/w
The operation mode of the MPI (default RS-232); it can be:
– RS-232
– RS-422
– RS-485
For the wiring of the MPI connector see also the section Installation.
mpiTermination
r/w
If true, it activates an 150Ω terminating resistor (valid only in RS-422
and RS-485 modes; default false).
sdiBaudRate
r/w
The baud rate used by the SDI (the 4-pin connector, default 1200
Baud).
sdiMode
r/w
The operation mode of the SDI (default SDI-12); it can be:
– SDI-12
– RS-485
– CAN
For the wiring of the SDI connector see also the section Installation.
