LTE communication fee reduction-V2 Binary

Thank you for purchasing the DEKIST Radionode family.

If you have subscribed for LTE service to access WAN, you need to save money by minimizing unnecessary data usage as much as possible. So some models of RN400 and RN17X products
V2-Binary protocol is supported to reduce communication charges even a little for (need to inquire). The amount of data can be reduced by about 60% compared to the existing one.

기간“V2” data usage“V2 Bin” data usage
One day (Every 10Min.)75K bytes29K bytes
One Month (Every 10 Min.)2,260K bytes (2.2MB)876K bytes (0.87MB)
One Month (Every 1 Min.)22,600K bytes (22MB)8760K bytes (8.76MB)

Data usage comparison table by protocol

* V2-Binary protocol uses octet-srteam binary data format in HTTP communication environment and does not support data holding function.

1. Setting up RN171WC as V2 Binary

* HTTP protocol types supported by the product

-Transfer to Radiionode365 Cloud

-HTTP Radionode V1 method

-HTTP Radionode V2 method

-HTTP Radionode V2 Binary method (selected for LTE communication)

After connecting the RN171WC to the PC with a USB cable, run the Radionode terminal program on the PC to radionode114Enter to enter the console menu.
Please refer to the setting sequence and method below.

  1. Select a transport protocol : Set [2.SYSTEM SETUP MENU] – [B.Set Destination of HTTP] to [ 3.CUSTOMER_V2BIN ].
  2. Data receiving server IP setting : Setup menu [4.HTTP DESTINATION SETUP MENU] – [A. ~ Host URL], enter the server's IP address.
  3. Data receiving server PORT setting : Setup menu [4.HTTP DESTINATION SETUP MENU] – [A. ~ Host Port], enter the server's TCP Port.
  4. DATAIN URL setting : Setting menu [4.HTTP DESTINATION SETUP MENU] – [D.Set HTTP DATAIN|DATAIN Enter data URL PATH in File(Get). Example> [/v2b/datain.php]
  5. CHECKIN URL setting : Setup menu [4.HTTP DESTINATION SETUP MENU] – [D.Set HTTP TIMESTAMP|CHECKIN Enter data URL PATH in File(Get). Example>[/v2b/checkin.php]
  6. Data transmission cycle setting of RN171 : Transmission period means the period of periodic transmission through HTTP Datain. Enter the setting in seconds in [2.SYSTEM SETUP MENU] – [B.Set HTTP Update Interval]. Please note that only minute units are supported when set to Radionode365.
[2.SYSTEM SETUP MENU] of console menu – B.Set Destination of HTTP screen

2-1. Implementing datain and checkin on the server

on the server [/v2b/datain.php] [/v2b/checkin.php] must be implemented to receive the data correctly. datain is a function that receives periodically transmitted device data, and checkin performs a function of receiving device information that is called once at first and periodically every hour.

If you want to check the server you developed as a virtual device, you can test it with the web application below.

http://52.192.181.203/v2b/client.html

2-2. Using the test server

Dekist provides the server address for simple testing.
If you set up as shown in the figure below, you can simply test with the server provided by Deciste. If the input is correct, connect the sensor and reboot.

Example of setting screen using deckist providing server

You can check the data being sent to the test server at the URL below. If you select the corresponding MAC address after connecting, you can check the sensor value recently transmitted from RN171.
