DeepLog Portal

1.2.1. Header

The header is the upper part of the web interface and remains the same on all the pages of the DeepLog Portal.

On the right side are the icons that allow to change the language of the interface (), to contact Nethix Support for assistance ( ) and to enter the online documentation ().

On the left is displayed the username of the logged user.

Clicking on the Username it’s possible to logout and enter the Account page.

From the Account page it’s possible to change some settings of the user:

• Username It allows to change the Username of the user
• Password and Confirm password It allows to change the access password of the user
• Full name It allows to enter the name and last name of the person associated to the user
• Email It allows to change the email address associated to the user
• Telephone It allows to enter the telephone number of the user
• Language It allows to change the language of the web interface

Through the buttons Save and Back it’s possible to save the modifications or to get back to the previous screen, without saving the modifications made.

1.2.2. Main menu

The Menu displayed on the left side of the DeepLog Portal Web Interface allows the user to browse through all the pages of the portal. The Menu is divided into three sections, that correspond to the three different levels inside DeepLog Portal: domains, devices and users.

Domains

Clicking on Domains the user has the possibility to display all domains, where he’s enabled. For the Admin User the whole list of available domains associated to the Customer will be displayed. The Admin users can also modify or cancel the available domains or create new ones. Selecting one domain from the list, all devices included in that domain will be displayed.

Devices

The section Devices on the Menu allows to display the List of devices, registered in the Portal. The Admin users can access all registered Deeplog devices, and also the page Registered Devices, in order to see the whole list (independently from their specific domain).

Users

The Users section of the Menu ( available only for user type Admin) provides the access to the list of enabled users. The Admin users have the possibility of adding, canceling or modifying users of the types User and Monitoring. Further possible Admin users will be included in the list, but it’s permitted only the visualize their name and email address, without having the possibility of modifying them.

1.2.3. Body

On the body of the Web Interface of the DeepLog Portal are displayed the information and specific options of the page selected from the menu.

Even if the content may change according to the selected page, the structure of the central body shows mainly three elements: the upper part, where the name of the current page is reported; the central part, where the lists of domains, devices and users are displayed and the lower part, where the keys for saving, deleting and editing are available (if allowed by the privileges of the user).

1.2.4. Footer

The footer is the closing element of every Web page of the DeepLog Portal.

On the footer are displayed the basic information about Nethix (address and Web site). This part cannot be changed or edited, except if on specific request by the customer.

4.2.1. Networking

Clicking on Networking, it’s displayed the area that allows to configure some of the main parameters useful for the proper functioning of the SIM data connection.

• APN The APN (Access Point Name) is an important option, to be configured for a proper functioning of the data connection. The value of this parameter may vary according to the Provider of the Sim card inserted in the device. For further information contact the Provider or visit its web site.
• Ping server It allows to configure the server, where the DeepLog regularly sends a ping. This allows to keep the internet connection of the device monitored. Unless otherwise required by the customer, it’s possible to keep the default settings (keepalive.nethix.com)
• NTP server 1 and 2 They allow to indicate up to 2 NTP servers. The NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a system, that provides the synchronization of data and time in the devices. Once established the data connection, DeepLog will get the correct data and time information from the server. Unless otherwise required by the customer, it’s possible to keep the default settings (0.europe.pool.ntp.org and 1.europe.pool.ntp.org)

4.2.2. Data sampling

Clicking on Data Sampling, the section is entered, where the interval of time for the execution of the data sampling on the connected sensors is set.

The available options are:

• 1 minute
• 5 minutes
• 15 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 1 hour
• 3 hours
• 6 hours
• 12 hours
• 24 hours

It’s also possible to enter a value on the field Sensor startup time (seconds): this parameter defines, how long DeepLog should supply any active sensors (i.e. those sensors that require an external power supply).

4.2.3. Data delivery

Once defined the data sampling time in the internal memory of the device, it’s possible to select the option Data delivery, in order to define the interval of time and the recipient of DeepLog data delivery.

The first parameter to be entered is the Data delivery time. This parameter is unique for any type of delivery and is strictly connected with the sampling time described above. It’s in fact possible to program DeepLog with two different intervals of times for data sampling and data delivery.

For example, if we set a sampling time of one hour and a delivery time of 24 hours, DeepLog would be started up 24 times a day, but establish the data connection only once a day.

The available options are:

• 15 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 1 hour
• 6 hours
• 12 hours
• 24 hours
• 2 days
• 1 week

There are three different data delivery methods, and they can be enabled simultaneously: HTTPS, FTP and Email.

HTTPS

The HTTPS method allows DeepLog to send data to DeepLog Portal.

For a proper functioning of the system, keep the default parameters unchanged.

• URL deeplog.nethix.com
• Port 443

FTP

For this data delivery method, the customer must start up his own FTP server. In this case the data are delivered in .csv format, in order to be easily processed.

The required parameters are those normally requested in similar systems:

• URL FTP server address: where DeepLog shall deliver the data to
• Port Server port
• Username and Password Credentials for the authentication on the FTP server

Email

Even for the Email data delivery, the customer has to provide the management of the delivered data. Also in this case the used format is the .csv..

• Server It specifies the used email server
• Port It indicates the Email server port to be used
• Username and Password Credentials for the email server
• SSL and TLS It allows to specify the encryption protocol, if required (even both)
• Recipient the fields Recipient 1..5 allow to enter up to 5 Email addresses for the data delivery

4.2.4. Analog Inputs configuration

DeepLog is equipped with 3 analog inputs, each of them is configurable according to the specific requirements of the installation and of the sensors. For the configuration of the analog inputs, click the option Analog input 1..3.

• Name Enter in this field the name to be assigned to the analog input
• Enable Check the box Enable to use the input
• Type It’s possible to choose the type of analog input, according to the output of the sensor to be connected. The available options are 0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-5V and 0-10V
• Unit In this field it’s possible to enter the measurement unit of the parameter to be collected
• Minimum and Maximum These fields allow to scale the read value of the parameter according to the range of the device
• Decimals It indicates the number of decimals from 0 to 2

Once filled in all previous fields, it’s possible to click the tab New Event in order to enter the section dedicated to the event creation. To create an event it’s necessary to define a condition that, once occurred, lets DeepLog Portal send an email to one or more recipients: for instance at the crossing of a threshold by one of the monitored sensors.

• Name Specific name to be assigned to the event being created
• Enable Check the box to enable the event
• Condition Specify the condition that shall occur for triggering the email to the recipients. The available conditions are: equal to, different from, lower than, lower or equal to, higher than, higher or equal to
• Value Enter the value of the threshold, for the triggering of the event
• Send email Enter the text of the email to be sent
• Recipient Enter a valid address of the recipient of the email. Through the icon it can be added further recipients. To remove a recipient from the list, click on the icon available on the right top corner.

Example:

• Analog Input: Analog Input 1
• Condition: higher than
• Value: 5

The email will be sent when the value of the Analog Input 1 is higher than 5.

After the configuration of an event, it’s possible to create a new one, clicking on New Event. To cancel a previously created event, click on the icon .

4.2.5. Digital Inputs configuration

DeepLog is equipped with 3 digital inputs, each of them configurable according to the specific requirements of the installation and of the sensors to be read. To configure the digital inputs click on the option Digital Inputs 1,,3.

• Name The name to be assigned to the digital input
• Enable Check the box to enable the input
• Type It’s possible to choose the desired digital input type. According to the selection, the following fields may have different meaning. The available options are: Normal, Totalizer, Flowmeter and Power output.

NORMAL

Selecting this option, the input will be used for getting the status open/closed (for instance in case that a float is connected to the input)

• Active label In all the areas where the status of the inputs will be required (for instance on the received logs or on the dashboard) this description will be displayed, to indicate the status contact closed
• Inactive label In all the areas where the status of the inputs will be required ( for instance on the received logs or on the dashboard) this description will be displayed, to indicate the status contact open

TOTALIZER

Selecting this option, the input will be used as a totalizer. At each received impulse, the value of the totalizer will increase of the quantity specified by the user.

• Unit It allows to enter the measurement unit for the parameter to be acquired
• Volume It represents the incremental value for each received impulse
• Decimals It allows to specify the number of decimals to be displayed

FLOWMETER

Selecting this option the input will be used as a flowmeter. The sample unit set by the user will be then divide for the time calculated between two impulses.

• Unit It allows to enter the measurement unit for the parameter to be acquired
• Volume It’s the sample unit to be divided for the time passed between two impulses.
• Decimals It allows to specify the number of decimals to be displayed.

Example:

• Unit: l/s
• Volume: 100
• Data sampling: every 30 minutes
• Data delivery time: every hour

Even if in energy saving status, DeepLog counts the number of received impulses. Every 30 minutes the device wakes up and save in the internal memory the number of impulses received. Then it resets the counter and starts counting again. Every hour it sends two types of data to the DeepLog Portal: each of them includes the result of 30 minutes sampling. DeepLog Portal calculates the flow, multiplying the volume by the number of impulses and dividing the result for the sampling time.

POWER OUTPUT

Selecting this option the input will be used for powering active sensors, that require an external power supply.

The so configured digital input cannot be used for reading impulse. The status of the input will be described as OK if no anomalies are detected and as Overcurrent if the device detects a current request higher than the max. allowed.

Independently from the selection made on the field Type, once filled in the specific parameters, it’s possible to click on New Event, and visualize the area dedicated to the event creation. The creation of a new event allows to define a condition that, at its occurrence, lets DeepLog Portal send an email to one or more recipients, for instance, at the crossing of a certain alarm threshold by one of the monitored sensors.

• Name Name to be assigned to the event being created
• Enable Check the box to enable the event
• Condition Specify the condition that shall occur for triggering the email to the recipients. The available conditions are: equal to, different from, lower than, lower or equal to, higher than, higher or equal to.
• Value Enter the value of the threshold, for the triggering of the event
• Send email Enter the text of the email to be sent
• Recipient Enter a valid address for the recipient of the email. Through the icon can be added further recipients. To remove a recipient from the list, click on the icon available on the right top corner

Example:

• Analog Input: Analog Input 1
• Condition: higher than
• Value: 5

The email will be sent when the value of the Analog Input 1 is higher than 5.

After the configuration of an event, it’s possible to create a new one clicking on New Event. To cancel a previously created event, click on the icon .

4.2.6. Networking events configuration

Selecting the option Networking events from the page Configuration, it’s possible to add events, in order to send email notifications in case of malfunctions: for example if a DeepLog misses the scheduled data delivery.

To add a new event, click on New Event

• Name The name to be assigned to the digital input
• Enable Check the box to enable the input
• Condition Describe the condition that must occur, for triggering the email notification to the recipients. The available conditions are: data not received
• For at least Enter the time for keeping the condition activated before sending the email notification
• Send email Enter the text of the email to be sent
• Recipient Enter a valid address for the recipient of the email. Through the icon can be added further recipients. To remove a recipient from the list, click on the icon available on the right top corner
