Integration

Introduction

Note

This section only describes device-specific information and is meant to be used with the “Elvaco NB-IoT MCM Integrator’s guide” which contains common information.

For device management, the module will act as a LwM2M client connecting to a LwM2M server. The Device Management system enables configuration and monitoring of the module remotely. This includes setting configuration parameters, update the firmware and trigger momentaneous/historical readouts of the module. For meter data transport, the module uses either the MQTT-SN protocol or LwM2M send.

Upon activation, the device will attempt to connect to its configured bootstrap server via the mobile (NB-IoT) network. When successful, the module will receive connection credentials, i.e. IP addresses to the DM server and the meter data server.

The module will thereafter connect to the DM server and perform a DTLS handshake to generate the session key used to encrypt the data that is transmitted between DM server and module. Note that using DTLS is optional, and the product also support unencrypted communication.

If using MQTT-SN as for meter data delivery, the module will after connection to the DM server try toconnect to the MQTT-SN gateway. If succesful, a DTLS handshake will be performed to generate the sessions keys used to encrypt the session key used to encrypt the meter data transport if configured to do so.

Each module has a security chip where a device-unique set of keys are stored. These are provisioned to the module during production. The UDP transport of both DM and MDM can be secured using DTLS 1.2. Either the pre-provisioned keys can be used, or new keys can be provisioned during the bootstrap phase.

Changing APN via LwM2M

Since changing APN is a potentially hazardous operation that may render the device disconnected from the mobile network, there is a rollback functionality in place when changing the APN.

To change APN, write the APN to the resource /10/1/1 and set APN mode to manual in /10/1/2. Once done, stage the changes by executing /33906/0/15. When executed, the device will reset and try to use the new APN. If the device manages a successful bootstrapping, the new APN will be saved as the default. If a successful bootstrapping has not happened for some time, the device will roll back to the old APN and reset again.
