5. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Figure 1: Overview of BeanScape® software

BeanScape® software is suitable for monitoring and configuring BeanAir wireless sensor networks. It is designed
to provide a high level of flexibility and efficiency.
BeanScape® provides the following features:
✓ Monitoring wireless sensor networks.
✓ Displaying configured alarms of different wireless networks.
✓ Sensors calibration and configuration
✓ OTAC (Over-the-air-configuration)
✓ Data and diagnosis analysis through curves and statistics
✓ Ability to store measurements and diagnostic information in a database as a LOG file
✓ Tools for optimizing the installation of wireless sensor networks

5.1 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF BEANSCAPE 2.4 GHZ SOFTWARE

The BeanScape® is a powerful software tool with client/server architecture. This implies that the network sensor
communicates with the BeanScape® through a wireless coordinator called BeanGateway®. The BeanScape® acts
as the server and the BeanGateway® acts as the client.
Beanair ® network is comprised of a network coordinator (BeanGateway ®) and wireless sensors (BeanDevice®).

5.2 ABOUT SYNCHRONOUS MULTICASTING

Synchronous multicasting is only available on the following BeanDevice®:

• BeanDevice® AX-3D
• BeanDevice® AX-3D Xrange
• BeanDevice® INC (not available on the Xtend version)
• BeanDevice® HI-INC (not available on the Xtend version)
• BeanDevice® HI-INC Xrange (not available on the Xtend version)
• BeanDevice® AN-V/AN-mV/AN-420

6. HOW THE BEANSCAPE® LICENCE IS WORKING?

The BeanScape® license is related to the BeanGateway® device, i.e. user can install the BeanScape® on
different PC and asynchronously connect it to the same BeanGateway®.
If a new BeanGateway® is acquired, there will be two applications cases:
• The BeanGateway® works independently; a new BeanScape® Basic should be acquired.

• The BeanGateway® is connected to the same PC (multi-WSN management), BeanScape®

Premium/Premium+/Multiview should be considered.

8. INSTALLING/UNINSTALLING YOUR BEANSCAPE® SOFTWARE

Installing the BeanScape® software is very easy:

✓ Double click on “[Link]” file (shown below) to launch BeanScape®
✓ Follow the different stages of installation
✓ When installing the software, a location for the log files is requested. These files are used to store all the
data coming from the Wireless Sensor Network (information about the Network diagnostic, data
acquisition of different wireless sensors, network acknowledgment etc.).
✓ Click Finish to complete the installation of BeanScape®.
✓ The installation is now complete; the BeanScape® shortcut icon is now available on your desktop.
✓ BeanScape requires administrator privilege level, to allow this once and for all:
• Right click on your BeanScape icon and select properties
• Go to Compatibility tab
• Check on Run this program as an administrator and click Apply

Figure 3: Run BeanScape as an Administrator

To uninstall BeanScape®, go to settings then select the menu Apps. A list of installed applications will be
displayed, go to BeanScape and select uninstall.

BeanGateway is considered as a client by the BeanScape ® (server) having the IP address by default set to
[Link].

9.3 FIREWALL COMPATIBILITY

Some firewalls will not permit applications such as BeanScape® (or any applications you have not
specifically allowed) to access your BeanGateway®. Generally, the first time the BeanScape® or another
application tries to access the BeanGateway®, you will be asked if you would like to allow that
application access. If you accidentally clicked No on that message (or if your firewall never asked for
permission to allow the BeanScape® access), you will not be able to use the BeanScape® until you
configure your firewall to allow BeanScape® to access your BeanGateway®.

With most firewalls, this is easy to do. Keep in mind that all firewalls are a bit different, but the process
is usually as follows:

1. Make sure that your BeanScape® is not running;

2. Open your firewall. If you cannot find your firewall application, check the System Tray (at the
bottom-right corner of the screen) for an icon. Usually, you can right-click this icon and select to
open the firewall;
3. Your firewall maintains a list of applications installed on your computer (usually under a heading
like Settings or Program Control). In this list, locate the entry for BeanScape®;
4. Configure the BeanScape® entry to allow it to connect to the BeanGateway®;
5. Save your modifications;
6. Restart the BeanScape® software

If you are not familiar to configure a firewall exception, you can directly from BeanScape® add this rule
automatically.

On the BeanScape® menu select Tools, then Advanced Settings then click on validate to add BeanScape®
to the Firewall.

9.5 HOW THE CONNECTION IS ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE BEANGATEWAY® AND THE
BEANSCAPE® ?

•When the BeanScape® is launched , as a server it starts with listening for a

socket connexion
Step 1: Socket •When you power up the BeanGateway®, a request for socket connexion is
established between the Beanscape® and the BeanGaterway®
connexion •If this request is accepted by the BeanScape®, an ACK is transmitted to the

9.6 CONFIGURING THE LAN ON YOUR BEANGATEWAY®

Click on the following weblink to see the video: BeanGateway® Ethernet/LAN Configuration, directly
connected to the Laptop/PC

Please check your Network settings before you make any changes.

By default, the BeanGateway® is configured with a static IP address: [Link]. This allows the user to quickly
connect the BeanGateway® to a PC.
If you want to set the BeanGateway® IP on your business network and get a dynamic IP address (via DHCP), you
can configure the BeanGateway® via a serial port or via the Ethernet.
Go on your BeanGateway® profile and click on Tools | BeanGateway Ethernet/LAN Config.

Technical Note “BeanGateway® management on your Local Area Network infrastructure”.
✓ If DHCP is not activated, the user must configure the BeanGateway® IP parameters:
o IP Address: BeanGateway IP Address. The BeanGateway® IP address should have the following
form: “X.Y.Z.B“. With A, B, X, Y and Z numbers between 0 and 255
o Subnet Network mask: The subnet mask is set to "[Link]" by default
o Gateway IP Address: Subnet network mask
✓ DNS Enabled: Check this case if you want to enable the DNS. For further information about DNS read the
Technical Note “BeanGateway® management on your Local Area Network infrastructure”.

Figure 29: Keep alive tab

Three parameters related to keepalive are available:

o Keep alive timeout is the duration between two keep alive transmissions in idle
condition. TCP keepalive period is required to be configurable and by default is set to no
less than 2 hours.
o Keep alive interval is the duration between two successive keep alive retransmissions, if
acknowledgement to the previous keep alive transmission is not received.
o Max retry is the number of retransmissions to be carried out before declaring that
remote end is not available.

In case of Public Dynamic IP on the VPN server side, it is recommended to use NO-IP/Dynamic DNS. Using a DDNS
will solve the issue of dynamic IP and keep your VPN Client connected to the VPN server.
To configure your DDN:
1) Go to an online DDNS provider like [Link]

2) Create your account

3) Create a Hostname

4) Install the NO-IP Agent on the Computer hosting the VPN server to update automatically the state of
Public IP

14.2 APPENDIX 2: AUTO-START BEANSCAPE®

Auto-starting BeanScape® monitoring software is highly recommended for users who need to run test on times of
the day with no human intervention. For example, when you need to take temperature measures during the night
and no employee is available to open the software and run the server.
Here we provide a quick solution:

14.2.1 Auto-start software

• On BeanScape, click: Tools -> Options

14.3 APPENDIX 3 : FIREWALL EXCEPTION FOR BEANSCAPE®

By default, firewall blocks all unknown network traffic coming in to the network. To permit traffic through
the firewall we create exceptions (or rules) that allow certain traffic on the network. In our case the rules are
defined by the software which is BeanScape.
Usually when launching BeanScape for the first time your Windows OS will ask you to add an exception and to
allow the software to use your network resources, however in case this doesn’t occur or rejected, manually
adding BeanScape to exceptions list is possible through these following steps:
1. Use your Search bar at the windows launcher and look for “Allow an app through Windows
Firewall”

Figure 63 :Windows search for firewall screenshot

2. Look for BeanScape in the list and check its box, check Private if you are only willing to use
BeanScape in your LAN or Public for allowing remote access from outside the [Link] and
your BeanScape will be allowed in your network.
