Configuring IoT APs

 

NOTE:

·     The term "AP" in this document refers to IoT APs.

·     Support for IoT capability depends on the AP model.

 

About IoT APs

An Internet of Things (IoT) AP can configure and manage the IoT modules installed on the AP or connected to the AP through network cables.

An IoT AP manages IoT modules and communicates with an IoT server on behalf of the modules. The modules connect things to the Internet for intelligent identification, locating, tracking, monitoring, and management of the things.

IoT AP application scenarios

You can deploy IoT APs in different fields of the IoT by connecting them to the following IoT modules:

·     RFID modules—Medical. For example, the IoT APs can provide the following medical services through identifying RFID devices:

¡     Infant protection through identifying mother and infant tags.

¡     Patients' body temperature monitoring through identifying temperature tags.

·     BLE modules—Managing iBeacon devices or acting as iBeacon devices. The iBeacon technology developed by Apple enables an iBeacon device to broadcast a unique identifier to nearby application software. After receiving the identifier, the application software takes actions according to the identifier to fulfill software functions.

·     Zigbee modules—Smart home or environment monitoring. A Zigbee network includes the following components:

¡     Coordinator—IoT modules installed with Zigbee cards, responsible for PAN formation and communication in the network.

¡     Zigbee router—Forwards information between devices.

¡     Standard Zigbee device—Collects and uploads data.

IoT AP types

An IoT AP can be an AP that has IoT modules installed in dedicated slots or an AP that has IoT modules connected to it through network cables.

Upgrading the firmware of a module

About module firmware upgrade

You can use the following methods to upgrade the firmware of a module:

·     Manual upgrade—Use the specified image file to manually upgrade the module's firmware.

·     Automatic upgrade—Configure the automatic firmware upgrade feature to enable the module to immediately upgrade its firmware if its firmware version is different from the version stored in the AP's image file. After you enable this feature for a module, this feature takes effect every time the IoT AP where the module is installed restarts.

Restrictions and guidelines for module firmware upgrade

If you want the module's firmware version to be consistent with the version stored in the AP's image file, use automatic upgrade. In other cases, use manual upgrade.

During the module firmware upgrade process, do not use the shutdown command to shut down the interface that connects the module to the IoT AP.

When you perform a manual upgrade, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Save the module's image file to the AC's local folder.

·     Make sure the automatic firmware upgrade feature is disabled for the module. The automatic firmware upgrade feature upgrades the module's firmware to the version stored in AP' image file every time the IoT AP where the module is installed restarts.
