Set Up the IOT Data Simulator

You need the required permissions to set up the IOT data simulator.

To set up the IOT data simulator:

1. Obtain the IOT Data Simulator URL, for example: your_host/ds/.
2. Define the attributes for the Cell tower simulation model based on the Cell tower device model as follows:

   • signalLevel – Indicates the level of the GSM signal produced by the cell tower. The initial value is -70 dB. The function to automatically change signalLevel is: randomInRange(-80.0,-60.0)

   • Voltage – Indicates the voltage in the power network to which the tower is connected. The initial value is 110 V. The function to automatically change Voltage is: sinInRange(108.0,112.0)

3. Define the configuration for the alert "urn:com:oracle:iot:cellTower:serviceNeeded" supported by a simulation model as follows:

   • Name: SEND:serviceNeeded

   • Time: 0 ms

   • Field "service_needed" = true

4. Add one event to the configuration of the simulation model. When the event is triggered, it changes the behavior of the attributes of the virtual device:

   • Event name: "EVENT:powerOutage"

   • Description: Power Outage

   • Voltage = 0.0

   • signalLevel = -120.00

5. Create three instances of the virtual device based on the simulation model.

   The figure shows three sample instances of the virtual device based on the simulation model:

   

6. After devices are created, switch them on.
7. Open the IOT platform (URL: your_host/ui/) in a Web Browser.
8. Navigate to the Devices page, Management and enter the values of Name, Description and GPS coordinates for each of three devices you have created.
