Changing the content type of a local application server

When the local application server is created, by default its content type is XML. Both the local application server created in Device Manager and the third-party application server where device packets will be sent must use the same content type to communicate. Ask the content type used by the third-party application server to its owner.

You must have read-write access to Device Manager. For more information, see Opening a panel and checking your read-write access.

Important It is not recommended to change the content type of a local application server in use.

You can use one of the following content types:

• XML

• JSON (used for local application servers created from ThingPark Wireless 5.0.)

  Reports are sent to the third-party application server in JSON format.

  Example:

  {
    "DevEUI":"78A8952D2E2992C5",
    "FPort":2,
    "LrrRSSI":-60.000000
  }

• JSON untyped (deprecated)

  Reports are sent to the third-party application server in JSON format with all properties as string.

  Example:

  {
    "DevEUI":"78A8952D2E2992C5",
    "FPort":"2",
    "LrrRSSI":"-60.000000"
  }

For more information, see LRC-AS Tunnel Interface Developer Guide.

Before you begin The application server must be opened in edit mode.

 

1. In the Application server frame, select from the Content Type list the content type that matches the content type of the third-party application server that will receive the device packets.

   

2. Click Save.

   ->The Status frame of the Application server panel is updated with your last modifications.
