Installing EVVR Container on the Semtech/Sierra Wireless AirLink XR60

Updated this week

Introduction

Users of the Semtech AirLink XR60 can now install a lite version of an EVVR Container. This version supports most of the features of a standard EVVR Container with the following exceptions:

  • You have to use the lite version of the container image (the modified Docker address is listed below).

  • You can't configure your container with a pre-configuration file.

  • You can't use video recording.

  • You can't use USB cameras.

  • The benchmarking tool will not run, as this device is limited to 1 camera input.

Installation Steps

Minimum XR60 firmware required!

The XR60 requires a minimum version of firmware 5.2 to support EVVR containers. Official Semtech Container Configuration instructions and limitations can be found here.

To install an EVVR Container onto your device:

  1. Log in to the XR60 local web service.

  2. Enable Container Applications

    • Navigate to Apps > General Status.

    • Enable General Status.

    • Click Save in the orange confirmation popup at the bottom of the page.

  3. Setup a Registry for image access.

    • Navigate to the Registry Access section of the page.

    • Click the Create Registry Access Configuration button.

    • Enter the following into the Create Registry page:

    • Click CREATE, then click Save in the orange pop-up.

  4. Download the container image from the Registry

    • Navigate to the Images section of the page.

    • Click the Click Pull Image From A Registry button.

    • For Image Reference enter: digitalbarriers/evvr:9.1.0-lite-arm64

    • Ensure Registry Configuration has DocketHub-Public selected

    • Click CREATE, then click Save in the orange pop-up.

    • The image will now be downloaded from DockerHub - depending on the speed of your internet connection, this can take a few minutes.

    • Please wait until the Status column reports Ready before continuing.

Creating the Container and Volumes

  1. Navigate to the Container Status section of the page.

  2. Click the Create Container Application button.

    • Input a NAME e.g. EVVR

    • Select the correct image from the drop down menu (from the previous step)

    • Click VOLUMES then the Create button.

      • For Name enter edgevis-config

      • For Mount point enter /config

    • Under RAM LIMIT change the value to 1.2 GB.

    • Click CREATE, then click Save in the orange pop-up.

    • The Status column should now show the container starting, then running.

Logging into the container's web service

To configure the container you'll need to log into the local web interface (configuration through pre-config files is not available on this device).

To access this interface you'll need to find out the IP address of the container on your network:

  1. From the left menu select Networking

  2. On this new page select Device IP/Network under the Zone Settings section.

  3. Look for your Container listed within the REGISTERED DEVICES (DHCP) section:

  4. Your container's IP Address show be listed under the IPv4 column (in this example 192.168.1.199).

  5. You should now be able to access the web interface using the same address (e.g. https://192.168.1.199).
