The working principle and functional characteristics of wireless data transmission DTU

Wireless data transmission DTU is a transmission device that uses the cellular networks of major operators to transparently transmit the data collected at the front end to the remote control center without loss. It can complete functions such as real-time data collection, remote data transmission, and wireless measurement and control. , providing a simple, reliable, low-cost long-distance wireless communication solution for the field of Internet of Things communication.

The working principle of wireless data transmission DTU

The communication between the DTU and the server is initiated by the DTU side, and the server side responds to the DTU side by sending feedback or accepting communication. The DTU side and the server side together form an application system based on wireless network communication. Compared with the DTU side, the server side is installed with more complex applications, which can accept any communication request initiated by the DTU side and detect the communication status in the link at all times, thereby realizing real-time data collection, database services and other applications.

Il lato DTU deve conoscere in anticipo l'indirizzo IP e il numero di porta del lato server prima di poter avviare una richiesta di comunicazione. Una volta stabilita la comunicazione, non vi è alcuna differenza tra il lato server e il lato DTU.

L'indirizzo IP del server può essere un IP pubblico (IP fisso) o un nome di dominio dinamico ottenuto tramite un server di risoluzione dei nomi di dominio.

The port number of the server usually corresponds to the specific application running in the server, such as port number TCP 21 is used by the FTP service and TCP 80 is used by the Hypertext Server (HTTP). That is, the server-side application supports sending and receiving data through a specific port number.

Usually the IP address obtained by the DTU terminal is its intranet IP address randomly assigned by the network operator. It can access the Internet through the mobile operator’s gateway. Special attention should be paid to the NAT (Network Address Translation) provided by the wireless gateway during system application. ) The port mapping service has a very short validity period, so if you need to maintain two-way communication, you must set up heartbeat packets sent regularly by DTU to maintain NAT port mapping.

Functional characteristics of wireless data transmission DTU

  • Connection method: Supports the three major domestic operators, and is fully compatible with 4G/3G/2.5G networks.
  • Communication protocol: Supports multiple communication protocol connections, including TCP, HTTP, MQTT, etc., making it easy for users to choose freely.
  • Featured functions: Supports sending registration package/heartbeat package data, supports remote device terminal setting module parameters, supports seamless and free switching between parameter configuration mode and transparent transmission mode, supports domain name resolution IP and domain name direct connection functions, supports automatic restart after the device is offline Establish connection function.
