The Alcoframe breathalyzer connection to ACFA-Intellect is configured as follows:

  1. Create the Laser systems object on the basis of the Computer object on the Hardware tab of the System Settings dialog box.
  2. In order for the Alcoframe breathalyzer to operate using the MQTT protocol, do the following:

    Note

    In order for the Alcoframe breathalyzer to operate according to the standard protocol, go to step 3.

    1. Install the Eclipse Mosquitto MQTT protocol broker on a local or remote Server.
    2. Run the mosquitto.exe executable file from the installed application directory (the default directory is "C:\Program Files\mosquitto").
    3. In the manufacturer’s official software for setting up the Alcoframe breathalyzer, specify the IP address of the MQTT protocol broker, i.e. specify the IP address of the Server on which the MQTT protocol broker is installed. The default broker port is 1883.
    4. Go to the Laser systems object settings panel:
      1. Set the Use MQTT check box (1) to enable the use of the MQTT protocol.
      2. In the MQTT IP address field (2), enter in an explicit form the IP address of the Server on which the MQTT protocol broker is installed.
      3. Click the Apply button (3).
  3. Go to the Alcoframe object settings panel which is created on the basis of the Laser systems object.
  4. In the Device address field (1), specify the breathalyzer IP address.
  5. In the Device port field (2), specify the breathalyzer port.
  6. In the Device port for events field (3), specify the breathalyzer connection port to ACFA-Intellect.
  7. In the Ping field (4), specify the time period in seconds by which the connection between the ACFA-Intellect Server and breathalyzer will be checked.
  8. In the Device key field (5), enter the access key to the breathalyzer (the key should be given by the Alcoframe breathalyzer vendor).
  9. In the Device identifier field (6), enter the breathalyzer number (See the official software of the Alcoframe breathalyzer vendor).
  10. Click the Apply button (7).

The Alcoframe breathalyzer connection to ACFA-Intellect is now configured.
