AEP and MQTT

Hello.

I am trying to connect to the MQTT broker within the AEP conduit (1.3.2) and am having no luck.

In the webpage section:

Setup -> LoRa Network Server -> Show Advanced Settings -> Payload Broker

I have the checkbox checked, hostname of 127.0.0.1 and port of 1883.

Using these details I cannot connect to the broker with a MQTT client (I’ve tried MQTTLens and MQTT.fx). I’ve tried with and without username and password (which I assume would be the same credentials as I use to login to the webpages and SSH).

Am I wrong in assuming the Conduit has a broker and instead these settings are looking for a broker to connect to?

Does the broker need to be enabled somewhere else? From what I can gather anonymous clients are permitted by default?

Does the AEP version not allow clients to connect? I notice if I SSH into the Conduit that the mosquitto_sub command is not found.

I’m new to MQTT so it may be something obvious I am missing.

One last question not concerning MQTT, but in the following page:

http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/lora/conduit-aep-lora-communication/conduit-aep-advanced-lora-network-server-configuration/

it lists a few Server Ports. Can I please be pointed to the protocols that these ports are expecting?

Thanks for any help, really run into a wall here.

Ben.
