Question

Hello,

We've tried to configure our Teltonika RUT955 to transmit our modbus requests to Azure. We've found, after some troubleshooting, that the connection string we receive from Microsoft is too long to enter in the RUT configuration. This string is limited to 150 characters. We believe this is a problem that is likely to be encountered by others. Is this something that can be adapted?

version: RUT9_R_00.07.00

Kind regards,

Mark

Hello,

Thank you for the information, could you try to check the RUT9XX_R_00.06.08.3 firmware version if that is the case too? I will inform our RnD about this. Also, how many symbols does your connection string currently have?

Regards.

Hello

We are also facing this problem with TRB255 (TRB2_R_00.07.01.4) 

The limit in the input field "connection string" is 150, but there is absolute no error or warning.

If copy paste the connection string it look like everyting is OK, but if you then go to CLI and run azure_iothub you see this error :

If you then deepdive into the source code (it is on microsoft gitbhub) you see that "sharedacceskey" value (last of the string that is cut off) must be MOD 4 dividable, which it is not.

We are using Azure IOT Central (which uses IOT Hub in the background) so we adjusted the DeviceId name so that the total connection string lenght is below 150. But I think the 150 is just some "number" that ever has been put in and should be increased in the next firmware update (+ a warning message if above the limit)

I also "data to server" has to bug because there we also are not able to make a connection to Azure IOT
