==Configuring RUT955 Azure IoT Hub==
==Configuring RUT955 Azure IoT Hub==
<ul>
<li>First open router WebUI, go to '''System > Package Manager''' and install Azure IoT Hub package </li>
[[File:Azure17.png|border|class=tlt-border|600px]]
<li>Now navigate to '''Services > IoT Platforms''' </li>
<div>1. Select Enable '''Azure IoT Hub monitoring'''</div>
<div>2. Paste previously copied Connection String (For this test we leave other values as default)</div>
<div>3. Select what kind of information you want to send to Azure IoT Hub</div>
<div>4. Press '''Save''' </div>

==Checking if Data reaches Azure IoT Hub==
==Checking if Data reaches Azure IoT Hub==
<ul>
<li>From router side, connect to it with CLI or SSH client and write in command '''azure_iothub''' and press Enter </li>
<div>- You should get answer that looks something like that, depending on what information you chose to send. </div>
[[File:Azure19.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
<li>From Azure IoT Hub side you can check if it receives data. Go to IoT Hub that you created previously. Select '''Overview''', there you can see:
</li>
<div>1. How many devices are connected to hub, and how many messages it sent during chosen period of time.</div>
<div>2. Device to cloud messages, that your router is sending.</div><br>
<div>It should look something like that if IoT Hub is receiving data. </div>
[[File:Azure20.png|border|class=tlt-border|800px]]
<li>To capture logs you will need '''Device Explorer''' for IoT Hub Devices.</li>
<div>For Windows you can get here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-csharp/releases/tag/2019-1-4 </div><br>
<div>Scroll down to Assets, download and install '''SetupDeviceExplorer.msi''' </div>
[[File:Azure21.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
<li>Now you will need connection string of yours Azure IoT Hub, Not device. Navigate to IoT hub in your browser, then:</li>
<div>1. Click '''Shared access policies'''</div>
<div>2. Next choose '''iothubowner'''</div>
<div>3. And copy '''Connection string – primary key'''</div>
[[File:Azure22-1.png|border|class=tlt-border|800px]]
<li>After that go back to Device Explorer: </li>
<div>1. In Configuration tab paste in Connection string that you just copied</div>
<div>2. Copy HostName part from connection string and paste it in '''Protocol Gateway HostName'''</div>
<div>3. Click '''Update''' </div>
[[File:Azure23.png|border|class=tlt-border|600px]]
<li>Open Management tab </li>
<div>1. Click Update </div>
<div>2. You should see your device in the list below and '''Connection state''' </div>
[[File:Azure24.png|border|class=tlt-border|800px]]
<li>Go to Data tab</li>
<div>1. Click monitor, and wait for '''Event Hub Data''' to update (Depends on yours chosen interval)</div>
<div>2. Messages like this should start appearing. </div>
[[File:Azure25.png|border|class=tlt-border|600px]]
==Setting router to Forward MQTT messages/commands to Azure IoT Hub==
<div>First you will need MQTT broker to subscribe to, for testing purposes we will set MQTT Broker in same router, and will use PC from LAN to sent MQTT messages.</div>
<li>Go to Services > MQTT </li>
<div>1. Click '''Enable'''</div>
<div>2. Use same port in MQTT Broker and Azure IoT Hub settings.</div>
<div>3. Press '''Save'''</div>
[[File:Azure26-1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
<li>Go to '''Service > IoT Platforms'''</li>
<div>1. Enable monitoring </div>
<div>2. Use same Connection string as before (GSM values configuration) </div>
<div>3. Messages Type choose '''MQTT messages''' </div>
<div>4. Enter MQTT Host address, we are using 127.0.0.1 since our broker is set up on same router.</div>
<div>5. Port '''Same as MQTT Broker'''</div>
<div>6. And Topic under which router will subscribe to MQTT Broker</div>
<div>7. Press '''Save''', we will not need username or password.</div>
[[File:Azure27-2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
</ul>
==Checking if MQTT messages are being forwarded to Azure IoT Hub==
===Linux===
===Linux===
<ul>
<div>Connect to router with SSH, in logread you should see Router establishing connection to Azure IoT Hub: </div>
[[File:Azure27-1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
<li>Open terminal and publish to MQTT Broker message with previously chosen topic.<br>
For our example we are using example: '''mosquito_pub -h 192.168.1.1 -p 8883 -m ‘testing Azure MQTT messages’ -t test''' </li>
<br><div>If everything was configured correctly in Device Explorer Data tab you should receive message like: </div>
[[File:Azure28.png|border|class=tlt-border|1000px]]
<div>This means our router Forwards MQTT messages to Azure IoT Hub. </div>
</ul>
===Windows===
===Windows===
<ul>
<li>Install a MQTT client software to do the test, for this example we used MQTT.fx</li>
<div>1. Setup your Router IP Address</div>
<div>2. Use the '''same broker port'''</div>
<div>3. Paste your '''Connection string – primary key''' and click '''Apply'''</div>
[[File:Azure29-1.png|border|class=tlt-border|800px]]
<div>1. Connect to the server broker</div>
<div>2. Use the created topic. For this example '''test'''</div>
<div>3. Send a message</div>
[[File:Azure30.png|border|class=tlt-border|1000px]]


<li>If you did everything right this message will be shown in the device explorer</li>
</ul>


==****Configuring the device****==
==Checking if Modbus Data to Server is sent to Azure IoT Hub==


<ul>
*
    <li>Login to the router's WebUI and go to the <b>System → Administration → Azure IoT Hub</b> page.</li>
    <hr />
    <li>Configure the main connection settings:<br>[[File:Azure_iot_hub_1.png]]
        <ul>
            <li>The "Connection string" should be provided by Azure. The format of the string should something like this: <pre>HostName=aics-prod-hub.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=6eLklROrG5;SharedAccessKey=xcRgQpJtY13laOumje3DrxJw1R3LlqnKmVxPFA0Z7Rw=</pre></li>
            <li>Take note that a lower sending interval value will mean more data usage.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <hr />
    <li>Below the main connection settings there is a list of parameters that will be sent to the Azure IoT Hub. Place check marks next to parameters that are relevant you (once again take into account that more parameters will mean more data usage).<br>[[File:Azure_iot_hub_2.png]]<br><b>Note</b>: the parameters in the figure above are selected for demonstrative purposes. Select the parameters that are relevant to your solution.</li>
    <hr />
    <li>Don't forget to save the configuration:<br>[[File:Azure_iot_hub_3.png]]</li>
</ul>
