The Cassia Bluetooth Gateway is a long-range enterprise Bluetooth gateway that can be used for indoor and outdoor environments. It extends the range of Bluetooth connectivity up to 1 kilometer and enables remote control of up to 40 Bluetooth low energy devices without requiring any changes to Bluetooth end devices.

The Cassia Bluetooth gateway acts as a protocol gateway, which translates between the

Bluetooth protocol and the Internet Protocol (IP) protocol. This enables your Bluetooth low energy devices to be remotely accessible and controllable via an Internet application.

From firmware 1.3 onwards, Cassia provides container support for the Cassia Bluetooth

Gateway E1000, X1000, and X2000 where users can run custom applications.

1.1.

Cassia X2000

Cassia launched the new X2000 Bluetooth gateway to deliver secure, long-range, multiple device connectivity for enterprise-grade IoT applications. It is designed to further improve the performance and reduce the complexity and cost of large-scale Industrial IoT deployments. The X2000 features Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 support, a ruggedized

IP66 enclosure, integrated TPM chip, more power/Wi-Fi/antenna options, larger memory, and various enhancements.

Cassia X2000 Bluetooth Gateway

The X2000 extends Bluetooth connectivity up to 400 meters for Bluetooth 4.x and 1 kilometer for Bluetooth 5.0 in open space using a patented filtering and smart antenna array. Furthermore, the range extension does not require replacing existing Bluetooth low power end devices, nor is it dependent on Bluetooth Mesh. In bi-directional mode, the

X2000 can pair and connect up to 40 end devices. In broadcast/advertising mode, it can listen to hundreds of end devices.

The X2000 supports the full functionality of Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, including higher data rates (2M PHY), advertising extensions, and long range. X2000 also offers flexible Bluetooth

configuration and two state-of-the-art Bluetooth modes: pure scan and high speed multiple connection modes. Pure scan offers the best scan performance in high noise floor and situations with a large number of Bluetooth devices. High speed multiple connection mode optimizes the connection performance when receiving data from multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously.

The X2000 supports edge computing, which can improve response time, reduce the cost of data transmission & cloud service, improve reliability, security, and scalability. The X2000 can run large custom applications in its Ubuntu container. The container and APP can use up to 700 MB memory in the X2000, which is much larger than X1000 & E1000 (128 MB).

The X2000 has a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip embedded. It can support secure boot, trusted boot, secure storage, and other crypto-chip-based security functions. The

TPM can further enhance X2000’s security level.

Cassia’s X2000 can be used as a protocol gateway, which translates between Bluetooth protocol and IP protocol. The X2000 Internet Protocol (IP) backhaul options include

Ethernet, 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi, and USB cellular modem. As a result, Bluetooth end devices are remotely accessible and controllable via an Internet application.

The X2000 has eight LEDs, including BLE, AC, 4G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, system, and power. They are very useful during gateway installation and troubleshooting. Please check Appendix F for more information.

The X2000 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a 12V DC power source. It can easily attach to a pole or wall with an included mounting kit or can be placed on a flat space with an optional desktop stand kit.

The X2000 has passed the below environmental tests. It can be used both indoor and outdoor environments.

3. Deployment

3.1.

X1000 and X2000

Cassia’s Bluetooth gateway coverage varies based on conditions. In outdoor “open-air” locations with no obstructions, the coverage radius of Cassia’s Bluetooth gateways is greater than indoor locations with walls and obstructions.

In general, the radius of outdoor coverage may vary from 100 meters to 400 meters with

Bluetooth 4.x or even to 1 kilometer with Bluetooth 5.0, depending on the wireless interference, obstructions, and line of sight. A rule of thumb for deployment is to ensure that the Bluetooth device has a consistent connection and that the Bluetooth signal strength is strong.

NOTE : Deployment principles:

• Avoid installations near radio transmitters such as radio towers, cellular base stations, and Wi-Fi access points (APs)

• Pole or wall mounting is required

• Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or 12V DC (for X2000 only) is required

• Installation height is recommended between 10 and 100 feet (3 and 30 meters)

• Grounding cable and lightning protection is required

Below is an example of an X1000 outdoor line of sight deployment.

Cassia X1000 outdoor deployment

22 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Down-tilt Angle

When installation height is more than 30 feet (10 meters), an antenna down-tilt angle is required.

According to the above formula, the following tilt angles are highly recommended:

• At a height of 10-30 feet (3-10 meters), no tilting is needed

• At a height of 30-60 feet (10-20 meters), 5°-10° tilt is required

• At a height of more than 60 feet (20 meters), please calculate the inclination angle according to the formula provided above

3.2.

E1000 and S2000

The optimal placement for the Cassia E1000 and S2000 should be located above ground at a height of 10 to 15 feet (3-5 meters), in direct line of sight of the BLE device, and within 180 to 1000 feet (60-300 meters) range of the BLE device. Ceiling installations should be 6 feet (2 meters) away from nearby walls or columns. Obstacles, like walls, as well as Wi-Fi interference, will reduce the range of Cassia’s Bluetooth gateways.

NOTE : Deployment principles:

• Keep at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from cellular antennas and Wi-Fi access points.

• Installation should be far from microwaves, wireless keyboard/mouse, and other devices that also use the 2.4 GHz band.

• Avoid installations near air conditioners, heating pipes, water supply pipes, transformer boxes, an elevator operation room, etc.

Getting Started

4.1.

Understanding the Cassia Access Controller

The Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) is a powerful IoT network management solution.

Using the Cassia AC, organizations have access, control, and monitor over IoT environments. The Cassia AC solution enables the deployment and management of hundreds of Bluetooth gateways, as well as the monitoring of thousands of detected/connected devices in an enterprise environment from one centralized interface.

Cassia IoT Access Controller

Why use the AC?

 Provisioning and managing Bluetooth gateways individually is time-consuming and error-prone

 Version management for hundreds of gateways individually is a manual and inefficient process

 Gateway alone cannot support BLE device roaming

 Gateway alone cannot track a BLE device’s location

For more details, please see the Cassia IoT Access Controller Server Data Sheets here: https://www.cassianetworks.com/resources/cassia-iot-access-controller/

The user may use a Cassia-hosted AC or install their own AC server. It is strongly recommended that new users use a Cassia-hosted AC to expedite the evaluation process.

The evaluation process of a Cassia Bluetooth Gateway with a Cassia-hosted AC is available for purchase with Cassia Starter Kits. Please contact the Cassia sales team for more information.

4.4.

CAPWAP and MQTT Setting

Before firmware 2.0.2, Cassia Bluetooth gateway communicates with AC using CAPWAP protocol. CAPWAP is based on UDP port 5246 and 5247 and always uses DTLS 1.2 to ensure security (no unsecured CAPWAP).

From firmware 2.0.2, Cassia gateway can also use MQTT to communicate with AC. MQTT uses TCP port 8883 and always uses TLS 1.2 (no unsecured MQTT). MQTT improves the robustness of gateway and AC communication. It brings a higher upgrade success rate and less BLE data drop rate. What is more, sometimes the user’s firewall doesn’t allow UDP packets to pass. In this case, MQTT will help the packets between the gateway and AC to pass through the user’s firewall.

TCP based MQTT protocol is more reliable on internet than UDP based CAPWAP protocol.

If the AC and gateways are connected through the internet, and the Cassia RESTful API through the AC is used to collect Bluetooth device data, it is highly recommended to disable CAPWAP ports in AC Settings page, which will force all the gateways to connect to the AC through MQTT. Otherwise, there might be packet loss or an incorrect message sequence between the gateway and AC. The API calls might return HTTP 502 or 504 errors, depending on the internet connection quality.

One AC can use MQTT to communicate with some gateways and use CAPWAP to communicate with the other gateways at the same time. The user can enable or disable

CAPWAP and MQTT ports on AC by setting “CAPWAP port” and “MQTT port” on AC setting page. The user can disable CAPWAP ports if they don’t want gateways to connect this AC by CAPWAP.

The user can set the preferred gateway-AC protocol by setting parameter “AC-Gateway

Protocol Priority” on AC or gateway’s console. First, the gateway will use the preferred protocol to connect AC. If it failed, e.g., port is blocked by the firewall, the gateway will try the other protocol automatically. After the gateway is online, the user can find the actually used protocol by checking “AC-Gateway Protocol” on AC or gateway’s console.

NOTE : From version 2.0.3, a newly installed AC will support MQTT only (CAPWAP disabled

28 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

by default). If the user needs to connect a version 1.4.x gateway (only supports CAPWAP) to a 2.0.3 AC, please enable the CAPWAP ports in AC settings. For the AC upgraded from a lower version, both CAPWAP and MQTT will be enabled by default.

NOTE : From firmware 2.0.3, the default “AC-Gateway Protocol Priority” on the gateway is

MQTT. If the gateway was upgraded from lower versions, the default value will be

CAPWAP.

Please follow the below steps to migrate one gateway from CAPWAP to MQTT.

1) Open outbound TCP port 8883 on gateway side firewall.

2) Fill in AC server address in AC console gateway Config tab or gateway console

Basic tab, if it is empty. NOTE: AC server address is mandatory if AC is in the cloud or MQTT is used for gateway and AC communication.

3) In the AC console gateway Config tab or gateway console Basic tab, please change

“AC-Gateway Protocol Priority” from CAPWAP to MQTT.

4) The gateway will disconnect from AC and try to re-connect by MQTT. If the gateway can’t connect to AC by MQTT in 15 minutes, it will try CAPWAP instead automatically.

5) After the gateway is on-line, please check if MQTT is actually used by checking

“AC-Gateway Protocol” on the AC console gateway Details tab or gateway console

Status tab.

6) When all the gateways managed by one AC have been migrated to MQTT, the user can disable CAPWAP ports on the AC setting page.

4.5.

In Static IP allocation, please enter your network information, including IP, netmask, gateway, and DNS.

For your network setting information, please contact your IT administrator.

5.2.2.

Wi-Fi Settings

Cassia’s Bluetooth gateways’ Wi-Fi supports Client or Hotspot mode (2.4GHz only). For the initial deployment, the gateway operates in Hotspot mode by default. This allows the user to connect to the gateway via Wi-Fi using a laptop or mobile device for configuration purposes. The Cassia Bluetooth gateway will advertise an SSID: cassiaxxxxxx (the “x’s” correspond to the last 6-digit of the gateway’s MAC address). For additional details, see section 4.3.

To use the Wi-Fi as your uplink, please switch the Operating Mode to the Client mode.

Please complete the rest of the configuration fields. For details on your Wi-Fi settings, please contact your IT administrator.

From firmware 2.0.3, the user can enable “Verify before saving” before switching to

Client mode. If the gateway can’t connect to Wi-Fi AP within 30 seconds, it will switch back to Hotspot mode automatically. This function will avoid an un-necessary gateway reset if the user sets the wrong Wi-Fi configuration.

NOTE :

X1000 and S2000 only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. E1000 and X2000 support both

2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi hotspot mode only supports 2.4GHz.

The country code should be set correctly when using 5G Wi-Fi. Otherwise, 5G

36 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Wi-Fi may not work correctly.

Once changed Wi-Fi operation mode to the Client, the gateway will stop sharing the Wi-Fi hotspot and changes the connection to the configured WIFI network.

You can enable the Wi-Fi hotspot by setting Wi-Fi operation mode to Hotspot from AC or gateway console. You can find the gateway’s local IP address in AC.

The local IT department can also find out the gateway’s local IP address by accessing the Wi-Fi AP device list or by performing the network scan. In case a static IP is used, the address is known.

Before firmware 2.0.3, if there was an error in Wi-Fi SSID, password, or IP address configurations, you cannot access the gateway anymore. Please press the reset button for 10 seconds to reset the gateway.

Cassia gateway configuration page – Wi-Fi Connection

HW MS2131i-8.

NOTE : If the user changed the default setting of parameter “Device” for MultiTech cellular modems, the value of RSSI, IMSI and IMEI may render incorrectly.

Cassia gateway supports USB cellular modem auto recovery function. After setting

“Recover Action” to ON, Cassia gateway will power reset the USB cellular modem

(X2000) or reset the USB interface (other gateways) if it can’t reconnect to the cellular network in 10 minutes. For an AC managed gateway, if the cellular connection can’t be recovered in one hour, the gateway will perform a soft reboot automatically. All cellular modems connected by USB port are able to support this function.

5.3.

Container Tab

From firmware 1.3 and above, Cassia’s Bluetooth gateway E1000, X1000, and X2000 support custom applications in the container (OS is Ubuntu 16.04.3).

NOTES for v2.0.3 firmware

• Before firmware 2.0.3, when HTTPS is enabled on the gateway, the Cassia API URL used in the container APP should be updated to use port 443. From firmware 2.0.3, port 80 between container and gateway firmware is always enabled, so APP doesn’t need to be updated regardless of the gateway’s HTTPS settings.

NOTES for v2.0.2 firmware

• After upgrading gateway firmware to 2.0.2, if the APP uses BlueZ with Gatttool and

Bluetoothd (e.g., noble or python Bluetooth lib) instead of Cassia Bluetooth stack and

Cassia RESTful API, please change ‘Cassia Bluetooth Stack’ to close (in AC console ->

Gateway -> Config-> Bluetooth Setting, or gateway console -> Other -> Bluetooth

Setting, default is open). Otherwise, Bluetooth operations in the APP may return failure.

Cassia Bluetooth stack and Cassia RESTful API offer the state of the art Bluetooth scan and connection performance. It is highly recommended to keep the Cassia

Bluetooth stack open and use Cassia RESTful API to achieve the best performance

42 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Bluetooth IoT system.

• From firmware 2.0.2, an option to enable and disable container local SSH login is added in the Container tab. The container local SSH login is OFF by default for security reasons.

Please turn it ON, before you want to local SSH login the container. Reset gateway will change this option into the default value OFF.

• From firmware 2.0.2, the output of the RESTful API to obtain gateway configuration from AC will be changed (GET http://{your AC domain}/api/cassia/info?mac=

<hubmac>). The container status will be removed from the default API output, to avoid the oversized UDP packets problem. Container status can be got separately by the same API with the additional parameter ‘fields=container’. Please refer to SDK WIKI for details.

• From gateway firmware 2.0.2, DNS name server in Cassia Bluetooth gateway will be propagated into container /etc/resolv.conf. Besides two default DNS name servers

8.8.8.8 and 114.114.114.114 , the container will use the DNS setting in the Network section of the gateway webpage Config tab as an additional DNS name server. This feature solves the problem that the firewall blocks two default DNS servers.

Legacy NOTES

• Please remember to change the container SSH password upon the first login.

• Please implement APP log rotation to avoid flooding container storage. From v1.4.3, the container can use up to 2.3GB. For the gateways with firmware lower than v1.4.3, if APP log floods gateway storage, the gateway may be offline and can’t recover by a reboot. The user has to press the factory reset button to reset the gateway and then delete the container.

• It is suggested to keep the memory usage in the container below 70%. The other 30% is for peak hours and abnormal cases. It means the container should use less than

90MB, which includes memory used by custom application and all the tools running in the container.

• Reset container will delete and re-create the container. The files under /opt will be kept, and the custom APPs not under /opt will be deleted.

• Factory reset gateway will not impact the container, APP, and container files.

• If you want to upgrade an existing APP, please make sure that the name and/or version is different.

• Cassia gateway container uses a compact version of Ubuntu. Certain packages may not be pre-installed and/or available.

• Please consider compiling your application code in a full development environment before loading and attempting to run in the container.

• The user has SSH/root access to the Ubuntu container. However, Ubuntu is running as a container, so its core cannot be modified, and the properties of sysfs, e.g., /proc, is read-only.

• Please make sure the ports in chapter 4.3 are opened outbound on the gateway side

Cassia gateway configuration page – Other continued

Cassia Bluetooth gateway E1000, S2000, and X2000 offers a more flexible Bluetooth configuration and two state-of-the-art Bluetooth modes: pure scan and high speed multiple connection modes. The two Bluetooth chips can run in a different mode with a different configuration, for example, one chip uses pure scan mode, and the other chip uses high speed multiple connection mode.

• Cassia Bluetooth Stack: default is open.

After upgrading gateway firmware to 2.0, if the APP uses BlueZ with Gatttool and

Bluetoothd in the container (e.g., noble or python Bluetooth lib) instead of Cassia

RESTful API, please change ‘Cassia Bluetooth Stack’ to close (in AC console ->

Gateway -> Config-> Bluetooth Setting, or gateway console -> Other -> Bluetooth

Setting). Otherwise, Bluetooth operations in the APP may return failure.

Cassia Bluetooth stack and Cassia RESTful API offer the state of the art Bluetooth scan and connection performance. It is highly recommended to keep the Cassia

Bluetooth stack open and use Cassia RESTful API to achieve the best performance

Bluetooth IoT system.

• BLE Scan Mode: set the BLE scan parameters to default, continues scanning, pure scan, or customized mode.

Continues scanning mode has better scan performance, and the BLE connection capability is still kept.

Pure scan mode offers the best scan performance in high noise floor and massive

BLE device scenarios. It is not allowed to make BLE connections in pure scan mode.

58 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

If pure scan mode is enabled, it is not possible to configure the BLE Connection

Mode.

Pure scan supports filtering the scan data by RSSI, raw data, and MAC address. The

RSSI filter can filter out the BLE devices whose RSSI value is weaker than this value.

The raw data filter can filter the scan packets with data xx (2-12 hex numbers) from offset yy (0-31). The MAC filter can filter the packets with MAC xx (2-12 hex numbers) from offset yy (0-5).

BLE scan mode is not valid when Cassia Bluetooth Stack is closed.

NOTE : For S2000, if the received advertising packets are more than 200 per second, it is recommended to use scan filters to reduce the S2000’s CPU load.

• BLE Connection Mode: set the BLE connection parameters to default, high speed multiple connections, or customized mode.

High speed multiple connection mode optimized the connection performance when receiving data from multiple BLE devices simultaneously. If high speed multiple connection mode is enabled, it is not possible to configure the BLE Scan Mode.

From firmware 2.1.1, when high speed multiple connection mode is enabled, BLE4.2 data length extension (DLE) will be enabled for gateway E1000/S2000 and X2000

(2.1.1 patch) too. The link layer data channel pay load size is up to 27 Bytes in BLE

4.0/4.1 and up to 251 bytes in BLE 4.2/5.0 DLE. It is more efficient to transfer data with bigger packet. The benefits include 2~3 times faster BLE device firmware upload and sensor big data download, and battery saving due to more efficient transmission.

BLE connection mode is still valid when Cassia Bluetooth Stack is closed.

From firmware 2.0.3, the user can enable the “avoid 2.4G interference” feature to minimize the 2.4Ghz interference between Wi-Fi and BLE. To avoid 2.4Ghz interference, we recommend installing Cassia Bluetooth gateway at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from Wi-Fi access points. But in some cases, there still may be 2.4Ghz interference even Cassia

Bluetooth gateway and Wi-Fi access points are installed 3-6 meters away from each other.

For example, if there is continuous Wi-Fi download on one specific Wi-Fi 2.4Ghz channel,

Wi-Fi may cause strong interference to BLE. In this case, the user can set the Wi-Fi channels which have the most interference (channel 1, 6, or 11) in Bluetooth Setting. Then, Cassia

Bluetooth gateway will avoid using these frequencies. Please check your Wi-Fi channel configuration on the Wi-Fi access point or contact your IT team.

From firmware 1.4 and above, Cassia supports Azure IoT SDK on X1000 and E1000. The

Cassia gateway must be operated in standalone mode and connected to Azure IoT Hub by

MQTT protocol.

NOTE : Azure IoT SDK support is a Beta version in firmware 1.4. Please contact [email protected] for Azure beta program details.

The user can control the Cassia gateway by calling the “Direct Method” or “Message to

Device” interface. The JSON format is based on local RESTful API. The feedback and data from Cassia gateway are reported to Azure IoT Hub in JSON format. Also, the user can POST

JSON string from Cassia gateway container to Azure IoT Hub.

59 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

First, please set the gateway to standalone gateway, copy Connection String from Azure IoT

Hub, and paste it in the Cassia gateway (see below figures). These are the only configurations needed on the Cassia gateway.

5.6.

Service Tab

The Cassia gateway can send scanned data directly from the gateway to a third-party server while keeping the control path to the AC. We call this function “bypass” mode.

MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) is described on the mqtt.org site as a machine-tomachine (M2M) / IoT connectivity protocol. It is a publish/subscribe messaging transport protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks.

Since release 1.2, Cassia gateway supports MQTT protocol on the bypass traffic which means that the Cassia gateway can publish advertisement messages it receives from the

BLE sensors to an MQTT server/broker. Other clients, such as web applications on your laptop and smartphone device can subscribe to the topics from the MQTT-Broker.

60 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Cassia MQTT Bypass Architecture

When the gateway is running in AC Managed mode (configured by Gateway Mode in Basic tab), the user can only configure the gateway’s MQTT in the AC console (see the configuration in AC->Gateway->Config->Bypass). When the gateway is running in

Standalone mode, the user can configure the MQTT function in the gateway console

Service tab. The user can set up data push and data cache configuration, MQTT configurations, and scan settings.

Cassia gateway configuration page – Service

To reduce MQTT packets and MQTT overheads, the gateway can cache a maximum of 100 advertisement packets or a maximum of 60 seconds, and send them to the MQTT broker together.

61 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Parameter

Scan Mode

Cassia gateway configuration page – Service continued

Description

Passive or active scan

• The difference between active and passive scan is that active scan requests a SCAN_RESPONSE packet from the advertiser.

62 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Filter

Time Stamp

• A passive scan generally takes more time since the gateway must listen and wait for an advertisement versus actively probing to find an advertiser.

However, with the passive scan, devices consume less battery power.

Scan filters for advertisement packets

• Name: supports full name, prefix (for example Cassia*) and suffix (for example *Cassia) name filters

• MAC: supports full MAC and prefix MAC filters (for example CC:DD:EE*)

• UUID: filter based on UUID in the advertisement packets.

• RSSI: filter out devices whose RSSI value is weaker than this value.

• Value: filter advertisement packets with data xx from offset yy. If offset is not set, the gateway will filter data xx with any offset.

• Duplicates filter: for a value equal to or larger than 1000 (ms), if the received advertisement packets are the same, the gateway will only send one advertisement packet to the MQTT broker before the timer times out.

If the gateway receives a different advertisement packet, it will send the new advertisement packet to the MQTT broker immediately. Value 1 means only send one packet for one device, which is usually used to detect how many Bluetooth low energy devices are around the Bluetooth gateway. Default is 0 (no timer).

NOTE : The keywords used for filtering need to be in the advertisement packets.

The UUID in advertisement packets may be only part of the UUID in Bluetooth low energy profile.

Add timestamp in the bypass MQTT packets. Default is no

• DHCP option43 or DNS setting

6.2.

AC License

For a privately hosted AC server, please contact the Cassia sales team to apply for your annual AC server license. One Cassia AC supports a maximum of three gateways when the

AC license is not applied or has expired.

• Length of subscription: monthly (for Starter Kit only) or annually

• Number of managed gateways: 4 to 9999 gateways

6.3.

AC Statistics

AC statistics page shows the statistical data of the AC throughput, memory/CPU, gateways, devices, AC API calls, and traffic amount per day, per week, or month.

65 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

• Throughput: the aggregated AC throughput of Ethernet and Bluetooth, both uplink and downlink

• Memory/CPU: RAM consumed and CPU consumed over time

• Gateways: number of online and offline gateways

• Clients/Devices: number of connected and detected devices

• API Calls: the number of success and failed AC API calls of all the gateways managed under this AC. The success API calls are shown in the green column. The failed API calls are shown in the red column. Only the AC API calls will be recorded. The local API calls and the API called in the container will not be recorded.

• Traffic amount: the aggregated advertising packets, the successful connection requests, and the notification packets of all the gateways managed under this AC.

6.4.

Interface & Protocol

Please see the figure below for the interfaces compatible with the Cassia AC server

• Before firmware 2.0.2, the communication between the Cassia Bluetooth gateways and the AC is over CAPWAP. It is a UDP-based protocol and uses UDP ports 5246 and

5247. It uses DTLS 1.2 to ensure security.

From firmware 2.0, the user can select MQTT to replace CAPWAP. MQTT uses TCP port 8883 and TLS 1.2. MQTT improves the robustness of gateway and AC communication and can help the IP packets to pass through the user’s firewall, in case the firewall doesn’t allow UDP packets to pass. One AC can support MQTT and

CAPWAP at the same time. Please check chapter 4.4 for more information.

• The interface between the AC and the application server is using RESTful APIs, on

HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443). For details on Cassia’s RESTful APIs please see the next section. For more information about how to generate SSL private key and certificate, please see section 5.5.

Compatible Interfaces with Cassia AC

6.5.

Bluetooth Roaming

For cellular and Wi-Fi, roaming occurs when a mobile device switches its association to the wireless base station with a stronger RF signal when moving from the coverage area of one base station to the next. A successful roaming is one that doesn’t interrupt the user data communication during the roaming handoff.

Cassia invented fast and secure Bluetooth roaming technology to solve this problem without requiring any changes to the Bluetooth protocol and/or end devices.

• Ensures continuous user data connection during roaming handoff

• Ensures seamless and fast Bluetooth roaming without any human intervention

• No changes are required to the Bluetooth protocol and/or end devices

• Highly secure at all times

• Bluetooth roaming can be applied for any mobile Bluetooth IoT applications

67 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Unlike Cellular and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth protocol has no inherent roaming support, and

Bluetooth end devices can’t initiate a roaming handoff. As a result, Bluetooth roaming has to be initiated and coordinated by Cassia’s IoT AC and Cassia’s Bluetooth gateways.

• All Bluetooth gateways under the Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) function as a single gateway from the mobile device perspective

• No security renegotiation (e.g. re-pairing etc.) is needed, and the user data connection remains continuous during roaming handoff

• This ensures seamless, fast, and secure Bluetooth roaming without human intervention and without requiring any changes to the Bluetooth protocol and/or end devices

To enable Bluetooth roaming, the AC software should be version v2.1.0 or higher, Cassia

Bluetooth gateway should be E1000, S2000 or X2000 with firmware v2.1.0 or higher, and

AC and the gateways must be on the same local network (if AC is on the cloud, need further verification). Please use Gateway Auto-Selection API, and set parameter random=1. No configuration on the AC or gateway console is needed.

Sample: https://github.com/CassiaNetworks/CassiaSDKGuide/blob/master/node_examples/roaming.js

6.6.

Gateways Auto Configuration

This is an ease of deployment feature introduced in firmware 2.1.1. This feature greatly simplifies and speed up the gateway deployment and the pre-configuration before shipping gateways to the end users.

By using this feature, when a gateway connects to the AC for the first time or each time

(configurable), AC will send the new configuration to the gateway automatically. The user doesn’t need to login to each gateway’s local console and set configuration one by one.

What is more, for the users who use AC and gateway in intranet, e.g., hospital and school, they don’t even need to set AC address in gateway’s local console. When AC address is

68 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

empty, the gateway will search and connect to AC in the LAN automatically. In this case, the gateways can be configured automatically by AC without touching the gateway’s local console.

First, please input or import the gateway configuration into AC, select when the configuration should be sent (first time online or each time online), and then save the configuration. The current configuration can be exported into a file.

The format of the configuration complies with JSON format of Cassia RESTful API “Obtain

Cassia Router’s Configuration”. Please check below link for more information about this

API (https://github.com/CassiaNetworks/CassiaSDKGuide/wiki/RESTful-API#obtain-cassiarouters-configuration).

After the configuration is saved, it is suggested to check if the configuration is correct

(avoid typo). Please press button “Test Configuration” and select one on-line gateway.

After that, when the new gateway is online, AC will send the configuration to the new gateways automatically. You can check the configuration result in the event log. If the configuration failed, you can find “CONF FAIL” on gateway console too.

69 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Only the admin AC account can enable this feature. The read only AC account can’t enable this feature.

6.7.

Gateway Batch Configuration

The user can select multiple gateways that belong to the same type (e.g., E1000) and configure them in batch. Batch configuration can speed up the configuration and avoid the error of human operation.

First, please select all the gateways that need to be configured in batches, or select the gateways one by one. After that, please click the edit button in the upper right corner.

Then, the batch configuration page will show up.

NOTE : Only the same type (S2000, E1000, X1000, or X2000) of gateways can be configured in batches.

TIPS : You can select a specific type of gateway through the filter on the top left. If you want to configure more gateways at once, please select showing 100 gateways per page in the lower-left corner.

70 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

NOTE : The parameters on the batch configuration page at this time are the default parameters, instead of the actual parameters in the Bluetooth gateways. Please only modify the parameters you need to configure in batches. Please ignore the other parameters.

The following general parameters can be configured in batches

• Country of deployment

• Group: The user can tag one gateway with a maximum of three groups. The group can be used to search, filter and sort gateways or send email alert to the users

• Statistical report interval

• AC address

• The priority of communication protocol between AC and gateway: AC address must be filled in before modifying this configuration

• CAPWAP port

• Local RESTful API

• Remote assistance

71 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

The following Bluetooth parameters can be configured in batches

• Cassia Bluetooth stack switch

• Avoid 2.4G Interference: Reduce interference between 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and

Bluetooth

• BLE scan mode parameters

• BLE connection mode parameters

The following network parameters can be configured in batches

• Network priority

• Ethernet IP allocation method: can only be batch configured to DHCP

• WIFI working mode o In Client mode, the IP allocation method can only be batch configured to

DHCP o Please don’t modify to Hotspot mode in batches. Otherwise, the Hotspot

SSID and password of all gateways will be the same

• Add secondary WIFI: it will work as the backup WIFI SSID if the gateway failed to connect to the first WIFI SSID

NOTE : The cellular modem configuration needs to be configured on the local console of the gateway. They can’t be configured in batches from AC.

72 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

The parameters of the bypass function can be configured in batches too.

73 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Now, you can save the configuration. After clicking the corresponding save button, the batch configuration will start. You can check the progress and results (success or failure) of the configuration on AC.

TIPS

• Only one type of parameter can be configured in batches at a time, for example,

Ethernet parameters and WIFI parameters can’t be configured at the same time.

74 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

If you want to configure multiple types of parameters, please configure them separately.

• If the configuration of some gateways fails, you can copy the configuration results

(see the red part in the below figure), and try to configure these gateways again later.

Similarly, you can also perform batch upgrades, restarts, and resets for the Bluetooth gateways. You can also perform batch operations for the containers and APPs.

6.8.

Bluetooth Debug Tool

From firmware 1.4, Cassia AC provides a Bluetooth debug tool with UI. This debug tool

75 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

simplifies the integration of the BLE devices and the user application with the Cassia AC and Bluetooth gateway.

The user can use the Bluetooth debug tool to select a chip, start and stop the scan, connect and disconnect, pair and unpair, get services, write by the handle, and receive notifications and indications. The user can also check the RESTful API, API response messages and the BLE data on the debug tool.

Please connect a Cassia gateway to the Cassia AC, power on the Bluetooth devices, and place them near the Cassia gateway. Please click the gateway from the Gateway list, and click the Tools tab. See the screenshot of the Bluetooth debug tool below.

From firmware 2.0, customers can export the license, setting, user accounts, floor plan, gateway list, and roaming data of AC to a backup encrypted file. Customers can recover the AC configuration by importing a backup encrypted file.

NOTE : The backup encrypted file can’t be imported to the AC on a different server if the backup encrypted file includes AC license.

Cassia RESTful APIs

The Cassia RESTful APIs were developed to enable third-party developers and device manufacturers to utilize Cassia’s gateway Bluetooth routing and extended range capabilities while using their Cloud services to connect and control multiple BLE devices per gateway simultaneously.

Furthermore, the Cassia RESTful APIs are designed to integrate directly into the application/server using an HTTP/HTTPS-based communication protocol, which provides programming language flexibility. Cassia supports C#, Node.js, and Java, but the user can choose other languages as needed.

The Cassia RESTful APIs are built into the Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) and Bluetooth gateways and provide the following functions: a. Monitor Bluetooth gateways and BLE devices b. Connect and control BLE devices c. Support three modes: scanning, connecting, broadcasting/advertising d. Write/read data to/from the BLE device via the Cloud server e. Read data as notification/indication events from the BLE device via the Cloud server f. Bluetooth 4.2 Secure Pairing g. Room based and triangle-based location tracking

Cassia RESTful API supports both HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443).

From firmware 2.1.0, a PHY update API is introduced to support Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 higher data rates (2M PHY) and long range features. PHY update API is used to switch to a different PHY after a Bluetooth connection is set up. Different PHY (2M, 1M, Coded w/ S2,

Coded w/ S8) can be used in two directions of a connected device or used in two connections of two devices. The BLE5.0 advertising extensions don’t need a new API.

NOTE : From firmware 2.0, the output of the RESTful API to obtain gateway configuration from AC will be changed (GET http://{your AC domain}/api/cassia/info?mac= <hubmac>).

The container status will be removed from the default API output, to avoid the oversized

UDP packets problem. Container status can be got separately by the same API with the additional parameter ‘fields=container’. Please refer to SDK WIKI for details.

NOTE : Room-based and triangle-based location tracking APIs and gateway auto-selection APIs lead to increased gateway traffic (high 4G cost) and increased CPU consumption. It is recommended to only enable “BT Positioning” and “Gateway Auto-Selection” on the AC setting page when needed. What is more, after upgrading AC from version 1.4.3 to version 2.0.2 and above, please double check if the

“Gateway Auto-Selection” in AC setting page is still OFF.

80 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

NOTE : From v2.1.0, if the end-user’s HTTP Restful API request contains “Accept-Encoding: *”, the gateway will use gzip to compress the content of the HTTP response. It will reduce the traffic between the gateway and AC. It will also accelerate the HTTP response. If the HTTP request doesn’t contain Accept-Encoding, the gateway will not compress the HTTP response

(legacy behavior).

NOTE : From v2.1.0, in return message of scan API through AC, parameter name (‘event type’) has been changed from ‘evt_type’ to ‘evtType’. This is to keep consistent with local API in which ‘evtType’ is used. For example,

{"bdaddrs":[{"bdaddr":"E1:D2:F8:F9:82:E0","bdaddrType":"random"}],"adData":"020100000

00000000000000000","name":"(unknown)","rssi":-29,"evtType":0}

Appendix C:

WPA2 Enterprise Security

From firmware 1.4, Cassia Bluetooth gateway supports 802.1x. It means from firmware 1.4 the user can use WPA2 enterprise Wi-Fi AP as the uplink.

NOTE

• In 1.4 GA firmware, a character return is required for CA certificate, Client Certificate, and Private Key (please check below snapshots). In 1.4.1 GA and 2.0 GA firmware, the character return is optional.

• In 1.4 GA and 1.4.1 GA firmware, please reboot the gateway after updating the CA certificate, Client Certificate, or Private Key. In 2.0 GA firmware, we will fix this issue.

• Only the PEM certificate file format is supported.

• For private keys, Cassia has tested des, des3, seed, and aes. Camellia is not supported.

The user needs to set the Wi-Fi operation mode to “Client”, set the “Safe Mode” and “EAP

Type” based on the Wi-Fi AP configuration, and provide required inputs. Then, Cassia

Bluetooth gateway will connect to the Wi-Fi AP with WPA2 enterprise enabled.

 Safe Mode: [Enterprise] WPA2 or [Enterprise] WPA[TKIP]+WPA2[AES]

When setting “Safe Mode” to [Enterprise] WPA2 or [Enterprise] WPA[TKIP]+WPA2[AES], the user should select “EAP Type”.

• EPA Type: PEAP-MSCHAPV2

The user should provide Identify and Password, besides SSID, IP, and DNS options. Below is an example.

89 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

• EPA Type: TTLS-MSCHAPV2 or TTLS-PAP

The user should provide Identify, Password, and CA Certificate, besides SSID, IP, and DNS options. Below is an example.

90 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

• EPA Type: TLS

The user should provide Identify, Password, CA Certificate, Client Certificate, Private Key, and

Private Key Password, besides SSID, IP, and DNS options. Below is an example.

 Safe Mode: WPA2-PSK or WPA[TKIP]+WPA2[AES]

When setting “Safe Mode” to WPA2-PSK or WPA[TKIP]+WPA2[AES], the Cassia gateway behavior is the same as firmware v1.3. The user should configure SSID, Password, IP, and DNS options. Below is an example.

91 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

 Safe Mode: None

If a password is not needed, the user should set “Safe Mode” to None. In this case, only SSID and IP should be configured. Below is an example.

92 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Below is an example of self-signed certificate and keys.

• ca.crt is CA Certificate

• client.key is Private Key

• client.crt is Client Certificate

• The password set in step 6 is Private Key Password

Openssl command example: openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 2048 openssl req -new -x509 -key ca.key -out ca.crt -days 3650 openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048 openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -

Appendix E: Configurable MQTT TLS Certificates for Gateway-AC

Communication

1. Overview

To further improve the communication security between Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) and Cassia Bluetooth gateway, Cassia supports configurable MQTT TLS certificates for gateway and AC communication from firmware 2.0.

The user can generate their MQTT certificate and load it in AC and gateway console. If the loaded certificate doesn’t match or expired, the gateway can’t connect to the AC. The certificate can be a CA certificate or a self-signed certificate. Cassia gateway always uses the secured MQTT to communicate with AC, no matter if the default or custom certificate is used.

NOTE

• Only PEM certificate file format is supported

• Don’t support private keys with passphrase protected

• Don’t support certificate revoke

2. AC Configuration

2.1. Open TCP port 8883 on AC Host

TCP port 8883 is used by MQTT protocol between Cassia AC and Cassia Bluetooth gateway.

The user can use NetCat to check if TCP port 8883 is enabled on AC and reachable from the gateway. Please login gateway’s local console, select Other page, and run NetCat like below.

TCP port 8883 has been opened on VMware AC. If the user wants to open TCP port 8883 for

Cassia-hosted AC, please contact Cassia support.

96 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

2.3. Configure AC Time

NOTE : Please skip this step if the AC is running on the cloud, e.g., Azure or AWS because the time of the host server is always correct.

If the AC is not running on the cloud, it is recommended to switch on “Set the time automatically” and set your own NTP time servers on the AC setting page.

The AC time will be used for certificate validation. If the AC time is not configured correctly, the gateway can’t connect to the AC.

2.4. Configure MQTT Certificate

97 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

On the AC Settings page, please change MQTT Certificate Configuration from Default to User

Config. Then, please fill in the CA Certificate, Server Certificate, and Server Private Key.

Default means using the default certificate provided by Cassia. The gateway and AC communication is still protected.

3. Gateway Configuration

3.1. Configure Gateway Date

Please configure the correct local date in the gateway’s local console Other tab. After connected to AC, the gateway will get the correct time from AC automatically.

The local date will be used for certificate validation. If the date is not configured correctly, the gateway can’t connect to the AC.

3.2. Configure MQTT Certificate

Please fill in MQTT certificates in the gateway Other tab. Please change Certificate

Configuration to User Config, and then fill in the CA Certificate, Client Certificate, and Client

Private Key.

NOTE

• The AC and gateways should use the same CA certificate.

• Now, we only support bi-directional authentication. It means the gateway will authenticate AC and AC will authenticate gateway too. So, both CA certificate, client certificate, and client private key should be provided on the gateway side.

98 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

Now, the gateway will connect to the AC automatically.

4. Trouble Shooting and Tips

The AC and gateway console will check the integrity & validity of the certificate and private key. Please check chapter E.1 for the format requirement. If the local date and time are not configured correctly (see chapter E.2.3 and E.3.1), the validity check will fail too.

If the gateway can’t connect to the AC, please double-check if you load the correct certificate and private key. The user can set the Certificate Configuration back to Default to exclude any other issues, e.g., transport issue.

The user can find TLS error logs in the gateway console Log tab.

99 Copyright  2021 Cassia Networks, Inc.

5. Certificate and Private Key Examples

Below is an example of self-signed certificate and keys.

• ca.crt is CA certificate

• server.crt is the server certificate

• server.key is server private key

• client.crt is the client certificate

• client.key is client private key

• Don’t support private key with passphrase protected, e.g., don’t add “-des3” in step

3 and step 6

Openssl command example: openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 2048 openssl req -new -x509 -key ca.key -out ca.crt -days 3650 // generate CA certificate openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048 // generate server private key openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial out server.crt // generate server certificate openssl genrsa -out client.key 2048 // generate client private key openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial out client.crt // generate client certificate ca.crt example:
