(Question) How to get data remotely from WSDA-2000 using WebSocket ?

[minida28]

I read in this page that one can create secure WebSocket connections to an ethernet connected WSDA from anywhere in the world.

I have a WSDA-2000 connected to a 4G router via ethernet, the IP address is dynamic and the Sim card provider do now allow me to connect to it remotely (all ports are blocked I guess). Right now I have figured out the way to access the WSDA-2000 control panel remotely (configured in sensorloud.microstrain.com). How can I use MSCL to get the data remotely?

I did see there's a method to create connection using websocket using this method:

connection = mscl.Connection.WebSocket(server, port)

What server address to put there and what port? I cannot find any explanation about this, neither is WSDA manual, or in MSCL documentation.

Note that I have to manually compile the MSCL my self (I am using Ubuntu 18.04, python 2.7), because it seems the above method is not available in the provided pre-compiled MSCL binaries.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Anyone?

Sorry for the delayed response!

Unfortunately we're unable to support establishing a WebSocket connection via MSCL if the ports are blocked.

It sounds like you were able to connect to the WSDA through SensorCloud - data that has been uploaded to SensorCloud can be pulled into your application for additional processing and analysis with the SensorCloud API.

Hope this helps!
