What is the best service on RUTX100 router to send or receive data?

[Mohsen]

Hi everyone,

Based on this topic Receive Router Uptime, I found a way to retrieve data.

I’m looking for a way to have this data in the cloud environment with a timestamp.

Option 1: Create a function on the cloud with a time trigger to send requests to the router and retrieve uptime data.

Option 2: The router runs a command or function or services to send uptime data to the cloud environment.

First, is there any service on the RUTX100 to support sending data?
Second question: what is your suggestion, and which option do you prefer?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

The easiest way to send uptime data with a timestamp to your cloud server would be to use the Modbus TCP Server & Client service in combination with the Data to Server feature. This setup is straightforward and efficient. Below are the steps to achieve it:

Steps to Configure:

1. Enable Modbus TCP Server

• Log in to the router’s WebUI.
• Navigate to Services → Modbus → Modbus TCP Server.
• Enable the server and click Save & Apply.

2. Set Up Modbus TCP Client

• Navigate to Services → Modbus → Modbus TCP Client.
• Add a new Modbus device.
• In the configuration window:
  • Specify a Name for the device.
  • Set the Modbus Server Device Address to your RUTX10’s LAN IP.
  • If prefered leave other options at their default values.
    
    

3. Configure Modbus Request

• In the same configuration window, scroll down to the Request Configuration section.
• Add a new request:
  • Name: uptime (or any preferred name).
  • Data Type: 32-bit UINT.
  • Function: Read holding registers (3).
  • First Register Number: 2.
  • Register Count: 2.
  • Enable the request.
    
    
• Test the configuration using the Request Configuration Testing section by clicking the test icon.
  

4. Configure Data to Server

• Navigate to Services → Data to Server.
• Add a new instance by entering a collection name and clicking Add.
• In the Data Configuration window:
  • Select Type: Modbus.
    
    

5. Collection and Server Configuration

• Set up the collection and server parameters in the Data to Server configuration.
  
  
  
  Specify your cloud server’s address and type:
  
  

As a result, you should receive uptime data with a timestamp to your cloud server periodically (every minute):
