conntype - Sensor Seal Documentation

The

conntype

command is used to set the Sensor Seal Gateway connectivity type. The connectivity type is the

protocol

that will be used to send Sensor Seal measurements.

For example, if the SSGSCP option is chosen, the Sensor Seal Gateway will send all Sensor Seal measurements to the specified SSGSCP Server. This server can be specified with the

ssgscpsetup

command. Other connectivity types include UDPBroadcast and UDPUnicast among others.

Syntax

conntype <Type> [Format]

<Type>
: The method used to send Sensor Seal measurements. See Connectivity Types below for a list of available options.
[Format]
: The measurement format that the Sensor Seal measurement data should be sent in. See Formats below.

Connectivity Types

SSGSCP - Send measurements to a SSGSCP server. Use ssgscpsetup to configure the SSGSCP server options.
Format
parameter will be ignored.
UDPBroadcast - Broadcasts measurements over UDP to all devices within the subnet. See command udpsetup.
UDPUnicast - Sends measurements over UDP to the configured device. See command udpsetup.
UART - Not yet available. Sends the measurements over the UART TX pin on the gateway.

Formats

See Measurement Formats for the specifications of the below:

SSRB - A compact binary format containing all the parameters of a Sensor Seal Measurement.
ASCII - An easily parseable, human readable format containing all the parameters of a Sensor Seal Measurement.

Example 1

In SSGSCP the format is always SSRB. The format parameter will be ignored if provided.

conntype SSGSCP

SSGSCP needs to be configured using the ssgscpsetup command.

Example 2

conntype UDPUnicast ASCII

UDPUnicast and UDPBroadcast need to be configured using the udpsetup command.
