IP Device Handler

IP Device handler manages unified traffic for Non-IP and IP devices and distributes the traffic to respective components.

This module is developed using API Gateway Actions framework. The IP Device handler is connected to the T8 API blocks in API gateway in request path (uses API gateway one push script).

IP Device handler relies on a database table to identify the device type. The database schema for the table is defined in Table 2-8

Table 2-8 IP Device Table schema

Table Name	Column Name	Data Type
IPDEVICES	DEVICE_ID	VARCHAR(257)
	TYPE	SMALL INT (1 - LWM2M 2- MQTT)

When the API Gateway receives a "Nidd Downlink Data Delivery" or "Monitoring Event subscription (POST)" request, the IP device handler retrieves device identifier from the request and checks it in IPDEVICES table. Depending on the device type, the request is passed to LwM2M server or MQTT Broker service for further processing. Refer to LwM2M Sever and MQTT Broker for more information.
