Managing scripts using IMPACT IoT Console

MQTT Topic import or export functionality is performed using the MQTT Protocol tab.

To upload Device ID mapping script

  1. In the top right of IMPACT IoT Console, click Settings > Protocol Setup.

    The Protocol Setups window is displayed.

  2. Click the MQTT Protocol tab.
  3. Click Add protocol Setup and select the MQTT Protocol Setup tab.
  4. In the Type field, select Deviceid-mapping from the drop-down to upload the device ID mapping script.
  5. Browse and select the device ID mapper script file and upload it.

To upload topic and payload mapping scripts

  1. Perform steps 1 to 3 of the previous procedure.
  2. In the Type field, select Default from the drop-down to upload the topic and payload mapping scripts.
  3. Provide the script Name.
  4. Select the Manufacturer and Model.
    Note: To use the payload and topic data mapping feature, the associated devices should have a defined manufacturer and model.

    The script is added per Manufacturer and Model. Each script is mapped to a manufacturer and model. Ideally, the real manufacturer and model must be preloaded before setting up the MQTT mapping script.

  5. To enable script upload, toggle the Enable Upload Script radio button and then browse and select the script file.
