System Deployment

tip
  • This document is obsolete

Single-PC Deployment​

  • Start the control center on the local machine and connect phones directly. No changes needed

Single-Board Computer — Raspberry Pi Standalone Deployment​

Download Resources​

  • From the cloud drive, go to the bridge directory. Download ios-bridge-armv7-2.9.0.zip (version 2.9.0; other versions are similar)
  • Extract to a fixed directory on the Raspberry Pi, e.g. /home/bridge/ under the current user

Modify Bridge Connection​

  • Modify the address connecting to the control center. See Control Center Configuration [site.remote] property — used so the control center knows when devices connect

Start Bridge​

  • Start the bridge program in the background: nohup /home/bridge/ios-bridge &
  • To run in the foreground and view logs, run /home/bridge/ios-bridge directly
  • The above operations require Linux command-line experience

Modify Control Center Configuration​

  • Change how the control center calls the bridge. The default is short-connection mode. In this deployment mode the bridge and control center are on different machines, so IP configuration is required

  • Go to the control center Web Platform → Task Management → Device Monitoring, click Distributed Connection Mode Settings, select Short Connection Mode, and click Save

  • Click Distributed Address Settings, enter the IP address where the bridge runs, and click Start Setup. By default, devices will be automatically bound to the discovered IP

Long Connection Settings​

  • Note: If distributed connection mode is configured, you can skip the Modify Control Center Configuration section

Cluster Deployment​

Cluster deployment follows [Single-Board Computer — Raspberry Pi Standalone Deployment]. You can extract the control center directly onto the bridge host and double-click to start it instead of using the command line.

For modifying the bridge and control center configuration, also refer to [Single-Board Computer — Raspberry Pi Standalone Deployment]
