Rant Cell Server

INTRODUCTION
• To start tests remotely in Rant Cell Pro App from server we are going to
use GCM.
• Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a push-notification-like
service freely provided by Google. Simply, it allows you to send data from
one-end “Rant Cell server” to “Rant Cell App”.
• This service can be used to send notifications or messages containing up
to 4Kb of payload data. The GCM service takes care of messages queueing
and delivery to the target application. GCM is completely free no matter
how big your messaging needs are, and there are “so far” no quotas.

Configuring project in Google developer Console
Google Developer Console is a place where we can “activate” Google
services that we want to integrate in our application. In this console we need
to do the following:
• 1. Create a Project
• 2. Get Project Number
• 3. Enable Google Cloud Messaging for Android
• 4. Create Server API Key

Steps for generating server Key
• Go to Developer Console home page
• Click “CREATE PROJECT” button
• Fill Project name & Project ID
• Click on the project name
• At the top of the page you will see Project Number
• We will need this number in Rant Cell Android app.
• Under the same project Click on API & auth >> API
• Enable Google Cloud Messaging for Android.
• Go to API & auth >> Credentials
• Under Public API access click CREATE NEW KEYSelect Server Key
• Click Create “leave the text box empty if you don’t have a specific IP address”
• The Server API Key will be created
• We will need this key in RantCell Server.

Configuring project in GDC

Creating server key

How the app registered with GCM?
• While launching the Rant Cell app ,the app need to send the
request for getting id from GCM.
• This request should contain our project id, which was shown
in last slides.
• After getting the GCM Id for app , we need to post the id to
our server.
• For future communication with app , server will use this regist
id to contact that specific app.

How server send commands to app?
• After the Reg id received from app, we need
to send commands with that reg id to GCM
server.
• After that the GCM will take care of sending
messages to App.
• If device is not in online, message will be
queued for retrying.

How app run test after receiving command from
server?
• After json message received from GCM server,
App need to read it and activate the test
according to its configuration.
For eg.If server send 10 iterations of ping test it
will configure same in app and it will start test.

RANTCELL REMOTE TESTING DESIGN
--FOR WEBSITE
1.Adding group process
2.Adding devices in group
3.Adding test configuration for group devices
4.Sending commands to devices.
5.Services and db usage details
6.Deleting group from website.
7.Db structure and links

Adding group process
1. User can add group for devices in remote testing section
provided in website side navigation.
2. While adding group name it will ask for the group name.

Adding devices in group
• After adding group name , we can add devices
under that group name.
• If user select add button,it should show list of
devices for user.

Adding test configuration for group
devices
• If user right click on the group name , a pop up
window should be shown.
• In popup window user can enter, what test
need to be run in remote devices.

Adding test details
• As same like in app , when user select ping
test check box, it will ask for ping host.
• Also for speed test and call test same like in
app, it will ask for connections, download file
size, upload file size, call b party number and
duration.

Sending command for devices.
• After configuring tests user can select run test
button.
• The tests will be automatically delivered to
devices , and test will be executed.
• Test running devices will be added to tracking
section.

Services and db usage details
• We need to create group table in dynamo db.
• When user add group name it will be added to
this table, with user email.
• And whenever user add devices in group , it
will be added into that group name with user
email.

Deleting group from website.
• If user want to delete user group from his
remote testing section, he can right click on
the group name and select delete group.
• All group details along with devices will be
deleted from website and also db .

Db structure for group

Db linking with user account.
• Whenever user click remote testing section it
will fetch the groups from group table.
• And if he select device info it will fetch same
from group table for that group.
• If we want to delete group , it will remove
those rows contains group name.

Group options
• Schedule test- a pop up to schedule ping, speed and call tests.
• Edit group – option for adding , deleting devices. Or to delete the
whole group.
• Check Devices – Check if the devices are online or offline.
• Track group – This option will land the user to tracking page where
live view of ongoing test is possible in map and table view. (Design
of this page is further discussed in the coming slides).
• Abort Test – This option will be available only if tests are running.

3 states of the group icon lights

Tracking feature
• In order to track any device , it should be
under a group first.
• Create group -> Select Devices -> Initiate track
• Please refer to next slide to check how
tracking data can be viewed on the UI.
