tion with the Senquip Portal.
Note For volume applications, the ORB can be pre-configured with additional certificates to allow secure
communications with a customer server or SCADA system.
8.9 Settings
UDP, TCP and HTTP connections require an IP address of the host server and a port on which the host
server is listening. Secure protocols like MQTTS and HTTPS require certificates to be loaded on the ORB.
The ORB is pre-loaded with certificates that allow connection to the Senquip Portal that is hosted on
Amazon Web Services. Certificates for customer servers can be uploaded using the Senquip Portal.
All messages are time-stamped using the UNIX time standard. Unix time (also known as POSIX time or
UNIX Epoch time) is a system for describing a point in time, defined as the number of seconds that have
elapsed since 00:00:00, Thursday, 1 January 1970. Every day is treated as if it contains exactly 86400
seconds, so leap seconds are not applied. UNIX time is used to timestamp messages as it is used widely
in Unix-like and many other operating systems and file formats.
Although UNIX time is easy for computer systems to use, it is not easily human readable. If a human
readable time-stamp is required, set the timestamp setting to ON, in which case, the ORB will insert an
additional time and date field, formatted in human readable format, as below:
DD/MM/YYYY, hh:mm:ss for example: 27/06/2018, 17:30:15
Time is UTC (coordinated universal time); no offsets are applied for local time-zones.
The Senquip Portal can be used to update settings on the ORB remotely. Each time the ORB makes contact
with the Senquip Portal (for example to transmit measurements), the ORB will check for any settings
changes. If there are changes to settings, these will be downloaded and applied. Pending configuration
changes are listed on the settings pages on the Senquip Portal.
Figure 8.2. Pending change where the base interval has been changed to 600 seconds
If the ORB is configured to send data to a 3rd party server, the ORB will by default contact the Senquip
Portal to check for settings updates once a day. Set the Configuration via Senquip Portal to OFF to prevent
the ORB from contacting the Senquip Portal to check for settings. This setting may be used where power
consumption is critical such as when AA batteries are being used an a very long battery life is required.
Warning Disabling Configuration via Senquip Portal will mean that no settings or firmware updates will
be able to be performed remotely using the Senquip Portal.
