About this guide

This guide is designed to help you connect one or more things to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for data

collection, storage and analysis purposes, using the Eseye-enabled Quectel BG96 module. You will also

learn how to control the modem using ATcommands.

This guide uses the plug and play LTE IoT 2 click as a worked example. The LTE IoT 2 click contains the

Quectel BG96 module, and provides a useful proof of concept.

We assume that your thing is designed to transmit data over cellular networks. You must have

knowledge of AT command and cellular modem usage for data communications.

If you want to connect with other cloud providers, or to a private cloud, speak to your Account

Manager.

About the Eseye-enabled Quectel BG96

module

The Eseye-enabled Quectel BG96 module LTE IoT 2 click enables you to simply, easily and securely

connect your thing to Amazon Web Services (AWS) from anywhere in the world over cellular networks.

This enables you to remotely extract data from your thing for a variety of industrial and commercial

applications, such as metering, monitoring, transportation, security, and so on.

Eseye ensures that your thing has near constant connectivity to a cellular network. Connecting to AWS

provides a flexible and scalable cloud service solution for your internet of things enterprise.

What do I need?

•Single Eseye SIM with multi-IMSI capability – enables worldwide wireless connectivity

•As a worked example, Eseye uses the MIKROE LTE IoT 2 click, featuring an Eseye-enabled

Quectel BG96 module. Product ID: MIKROE-3144.

For information about MIKROE products, see the MikroElektronika website.

www.mikroe.com

How connectivity is established with AWS

Eseye uses the Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol to connect one or more things

(MQTT clients) with AWS IoT Core (the MQTT broker).

You use an AT-command interface to send and receive telemetry data to and from the cloud service.

The Quectel BG96 module buffers publish data in non-volatile flash memory until it is delivered to the

cloud. The flash memory queues messages when there is no network connection, and protects against

data loss in the event of a power failure. For information about the Eseye Telemetry Module, see

About the Eseye Telemetry Module on page1.

About the Eseye-enabled Quectel BG96 module

The Eseye-enabled Quectel BG96 module uses the following:

•MQTT URL – the AWS Custom Endpoint used to establish a connection between a thing and

AWS IoT Core, for example:

a2efgh321joea3-ats.iot.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com

•Transport Layer Security (TLS) – for the IP connection, established using the certificates from the

SIM

For more information, see Data security on page70.

•Publish and subscribe topics – preconfigured in the Eseye Telemetry Module (ETM) application

using ATcommands

•AWSthingname – appended to the topics as a suffix to uniquely identify the thing in AWS IoT

Core

Powering up the Quectel BG96 module

The embedded application runs on generic Quectel BG96 module devices, so no hardware interfacing is

specified except for PWRKEY and the main AT UART and DTR line if power control is required.

Do not disconnect the power supply to the Quectel BG96 module at any time, as the

module requires power at all times, even during sleep mode.

Powering up the LTE IoT 2 click

Use the PWRKEY pin to power-up the LTE IoT 2 click. When the device is powered off, pulling PWRKEY

high for 100mS and then returning it low will cause the LTE IoT 2 click to power-up.

In normal operation it is not necessary to power-down the LTE IoT 2 click, as it takes care of power

management internally.

In the event of a loss of communication with the LTE IoT 2 click, you can use the PWRKEY to force

power-off by pulling high for >500mS, then returning low.

About the Eseye-enabled Quectel BG96 module

Connecting to the LTE IoT 2 click

Connect to the LTE IoT 2 click over USB, or using the MIKROE click serial interface.

If you are testing a single unit, we recommend that you use a terminal emulator to execute the

AT commands, for example PuTTY or Tera Term.

Serial port settings

Change the port settings using Device Manager, and ensure you also adjust the serial port settings in

the terminal emulator.

Serial port setting Default value

Baud rate 115200

Data Bits 8

Parity None

Stop Bits 1

Flow Control None

Send the following AT command to enable MQTT: AT+ETMSTATE=startmqtt

If the configuration file [operation] <mode> is set to mqtt, then ETM automatically starts

MQTT after power up. If the <mode> is not set, after each reboot you must send

AT+ETMSTATE=startmqtt again.

Send the following AT command to enable MQTT: AT+ETMSTATE=startmqtt
