D2Sphere is a platform which allows to monitor, administrate and operate your Maestro devices. To sync up your device with D2Sphere you just have to follow the following steps:

Prerequisites

For E-Series routers, make sure that your device is running at least on firmware version 2.3.0RC14. If you do not have a D2Sphere account yet, request yours here.

Device registration

Before connecting your device to the platform, you have to register it in your D2Sphere account. Once there, go to administrate>devices and click on Add. Enter the IMEI of your router on the popup window that appears:  

Configuration

Routers

You can connect your device to D2Sphere by going to the web interface of the router and then to Services>D2Sphere Once you are on this page, you have to configure the settings

• IP/URL: beta.d2sphere.com or custom.d2sphere.com (this depends on the D2Sphere version you have the device registered on)
• Port: 4444
• Reporting Time: defined in minutes, it configures how often the router will send its health data to the platform

Then, click on Save & Apply to confirm the settings. If your router has Internet connectivity, it will connect immediately to D2Sphere.

Trackers

Connect your AVL tracker to the service server by sending the following configuration command:

Administrator details

The heart shows the health state of the device:

• Black heart: OK (device contacted the platform in the past 24 hours)
• Yellow Heart: Warning (device contacted the platform in the past 48 hours)
• Red Heart: Critical (device has not contacted the platform for more than 48 hours)

If the Wi-Fi column is checked, it means that the device it is currently online.

Overview

Here you can see the general information about your device, including:

• IMEI
• IMSI and ICCID identifying the SIM card used
• When the device was registered and by who
• When the device sent the last report to D2Sphere
• Online status
• Device details such as name, hardware and firmware versions

Data

Here is where you can see all the data the device is getting and see the results in graphics or in tables. The device will report system data periodically and then the historical data can be analysed from D2Sphere interface. If the data is a numerical value (such as the uptime or RAM usage, for instance), a graph will be displayed. For non-numerical values (such as the operator name), the data can be checked in a tabular format.

Console

From the Console, it is possible to establish a bi-directional communication with your device, meaning that you can execute commands remotely and get the reply back from your units in the field. This page has 3 different sections:

1. On the left-hand side, it is shown the device output which includes the reply to commands issued by the user.
2. On the hand-right side, there is a history of all commands sent by the user on the upper part.
3. On the hand-right side on a yellow background, it is possible to type the command to be sent to the device.

cnf.show

Show all the configuration parameters stored in the device memory.

cnf.set

Set a single parameter setting.

cnf.get

Get the value of a specific parameter or configuration group.

cmd.sh

Send commands to the router as if you were accessing it via SSH. The only limitation is that is not possible to issue interactive commands, like nano or vi to edit a text file, for instance.

cmd.at
