ReliaGATE/DynaGATE 10-14

The ReliaGATE 10-14 is a Multi-service IoT Gateway that has been designed to deliver LTE and 2G/3G connectivity to industrial and lightly rugged applications.

The DynaGATE 10-14 is a Road Vehicle certified, IoT Gateway for Public Transport and Road Vehicles that enables a fast transition to ITxPT both in existing and new deployments.

GPS Configuration

The ordering codes from REGATE-10-14-35 to REGATE-10-14-37 have an internal GPS receiver provided by the modem, the ESF PositionService default configuration should work out of the box, modem GPS should be enabled in network configuration section.

Ethernet Configuration

The default configuration of the Ethernet interfaces for a ReliaGATE 10-14 is the following:

Wireless Configuration

The ReliaGATE 10-14 has a WiFi interface, named wlan0.
By default, the interface is disabled.

Firewall Configuration

Following the ESF firewall configuration for the ReliaGATE 10-14:

Modem Support

The variants from REGATE-10-14-35 to REGATE-10-14-37 have an internal modem, it should be supported by ESF out of the box.

## Tamper Detection

Reliagate 10-14 provides tamper detection support. This allows to device to generate an event if the external enclosure is removed or if the service panel is opened. See device manual for more details.

ESF provides a TamperDetectionService implementation that manages a persistent tamper status based on EL tamper events (see Tamper Detection for more information). The device is considered to be tampered by ESF after that a tamper event has been detected by EL, and until the user clears the tamper status.

The 10-14 TamperDetectionService also integrates with the DiagnosticsService:

• The diagnostic service will publish the following tamper related messages:
  • An alert for each tamper event.
  • A new last_tamper_event_timestamp reporting the last tamper event timestamp provided by device RTC (see device manual for more details)

🚧

Warning

If the service panel must be open for maintenance, the operator should reset the tamper status in the Security -> Tamper Detection Web Console section, this requires the kura.admin permission.

Journald persistence

EL 27.0.0 uses in RAM journal
EL 27.1.0 uses persisted journal

Clock Service

Chrony-advanced option in Clock Service is only supported in EL 27.1.0

Docker integration

Installing ESF on EL 27.1 will disable Docker by default, in order to use ESF Docker integration, Docker must be enabled manually with the following command, and then the gateway must be restarted:

systemctl enable docker.service docker.socket

Serial Configuration

ESF provides a Serial Port Configurator configurable component that allows to configure the desired modes for the COM0 (/dev/ttymxc0) and COM1 (/dev/ttymxc1 on ReliaGATE 10-14 and /dev/ttymxc3 for DynaGATE 10-14) gateway serial ports.

As reported in Gateway Manual in section 16.6, the serial ports share a multi-function line driver which allows for numerous combinations of RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 between the two serial ports; however, some combinations are not supported.

In ESF 7.5.x and before ESF Serial Port Configurator allowed to configure only the mode for COM1 port through the com1.mode property, setting COM0 in RS232 mode.

ESF 7.6.0+ provides a new Serial Port Configurator that allows to configure both serial ports, in this version the com1.mode property is replaced by a new com.modes property with the following values, that cover all modes supported by the line driver:

• COM0=HiZ COM1=HiZ
• COM0=RS232 COM1=RS232
• COM0=RS232 COM1=RS422
• COM0=RS232 COM1=RS485
• COM0=RS422 COM1=RS422
• COM0=RS485 COM1=RS485
• COM0=Loop COM1=Loop

The component also allows to configure the following parameters for each serial port:

• com0.rts.after.send and com1.rts.after.send: Set SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND bit [0,1].
• com0.rts.on.send and com1.rts.on.send: Set SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND bit [0,1].
• com0.delay.after and com1.delay.after: Insert RS485 wait after send in ms [0..100].
• com0.delay.before and com1.delay.before: Insert RS485 wait before send in ms [0..100].
• com0.termination and com1.termination: Insert termination resistor. Only applies to RS485 or RS422 modes.

📘

Note

Serial port configuration might fail if the configured serial port is in use. In this case the configuration change will be applied at next device reboot.

Upgrade and snapshot compatibility

If ESF is upgraded via RPM from 7.5.x and previous versions, the com.modes property will be automatically generated basing on the value of the com1.mode property as described in the following table, preserving the existing serial port mode configuration.

🚧

Warning

Please note that the com1.mode property is no longer supported by ESF 7.6.0+ Serial Port Configurator. Uploading a configuration snapshot or submitting a configuration update request that specifies com1.mode instead of com.modes will not change the current serial port modes. Existing snapshots and configuration update requests that reference com1.mode must be manually updated as described in the table above. The only case when the transition from com1.mode to com.modes is performed automatically by ESF is durning RPM upgrade.
