12 = 2. UDP Procotol  ~-~- Directly Connection =
13
14 == 2.1 UDP Interface ==
15
16 * Server Address: server1.thingseye.io
17 * Port: 11562
18
19 The data sent to above UDP interface will not go directly to client's database.
20
21 Please contact ThingsEye team for detail how to forward data to client.

24 == 2.2 Test UDP Interface via Socket Tool ==
25
26 Download the UDP Test Tool from:  [[https:~~/~~/sourceforge.net/projects/sockettest/ >>https://sourceforge.net/projects/sockettest/]]. Run this tool, and input the server address and UDP port  as below and click send.

37
38 We can see the message arrives, but it shows ERROR because the message doesn't follow with the UDP Server format.

41 == 2.3 Test with Dragino NB device ==
42
43 === 2.3.1 Configure NB-IoT End Node ===
44
45 Device here is **[[S31-NB>>https://www.dragino.com/products/temperature-humidity-sensor/item/288-s31-nb-s31b-nb.html]]** : and have been configure below
46
47 * Set to use ThingsEye UDP server: **AT+SERVADDR=server1.thingseye.io,11560**
48 * Use UDP Uplink & Json protocol:** AT+PRO=2,5**
49 * Equip with a NB-IoT SIM Card to access to NB-IoT Network.
50
51 The S31-NB's cellular module has the IMEI: **863663062789483**
52
53
54 === 2.3.2 Check Uplink Data ===
55
56 Re-activate the S31-NB, and we can see it in the debug window:

61 === 2.3.3 Auto-Create Device ===
62
63 The default **Tenant UDP Server** has already been configured to decode the Dragino -NB / -CB NB-IoT node. So once each end node sends a data to server. Tenant will auto create the device in the server.

70 **So we have this device in the Tenant Device List. The next step will be how to use these value to make a nice dashboard for user's application.**

126 == 3.3 Test Uplink ==
127
128 We can use Simulate Uplink to simulate an uplink in the things stack. Then we should be able to see the message in ThingsEye
