Smart Office IoT Network Configuration and Operation Report

This report presents a comprehensive analysis of an IoT smart office network, focusing on the design and configuration of smart devices within a Melbourne office and its connection to an Adelaide branch. Using Cisco Packet Tracer, the report illustrates the network setup, including the registration server, smart device integration (ceiling fan, windows, door, lamp, sprinklers), and remote control capabilities via a tablet. The report details the protocols used for data transmission, the conditions for automated window control based on environmental sensor data (carbon monoxide and dioxide levels), and the operational aspects of various smart devices. The report concludes by summarizing the key aspects of the IoT network design and its functionality, with screenshots to support the explanations. The report also includes a bibliography of relevant academic sources.

Introduction
This report analyses IoT infrastructure of Melbourne smart office while explaining
how smart devices are configured. For this packet tracer for demonstrating the IoT network
with screenshots attached for explaining the mechanism. Then conditions for controlling of
the three windows are mentioned after which the report ends by providing conclusions.
Discussion
IoT Network of Melbourne smart office and operations from Adelaide branch
This diagram explains the setup of IoT present in Melbourne smart office and
elaborates the connection with the branch in Adelaide.

3IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Configuring Registration Server
IP address and corresponding subnet mask are specified in the registration server.

4IOT AND SMART DEVICES
The assigned IP is entered in the web browser of the registration server and the login
page is verified.

5IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Adding smart devices
Adding and configuring of smart devices are performed by entering the SSID number
and PSK pass phrase in the wireless interface.

6IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Connecting, activating and setting up smart devices
The smart devices are configured by specifying server address and giving username
and password.
Protocol used for PDU transmission

7IOT AND SMART DEVICES
ICMP is the protocol used for operating the IoT network in the smart office. The
simulation as can be seen from the image explains the entire process every step at a time.
Connecting with Branch in Adelaide
The IoT network of Adelaide branch is explained in brief. The network devices as can
be seen from the screenshot above can be operated from Adelaide branch.

8IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Web browser log in
By entering the IP address in the browser of smart table, the login page can be
obtained prompting for username and password.

9IOT AND SMART DEVICES
After signing in, the list of smart devices connected is given and corresponding
information is made available.
Turning ceiling fan On and Off
The ceiling fan installed one of the smart IoT devices having been remotely connected
with the wireless router and activating or deactivating of which is done based on sensory data
received from temperature sensors.

10IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Locking/unlocking door
Among the IoT devices, the smart door is connected remotely with the wireless router
and activated according to sensor information received by it.

11IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Switching lamp
Another smart device is LED lamp which is connected remotely with wireless router
and switched ‘on’ and back ‘off’ at specific times.

12IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Activating sprinklers
Smart devices like lawn sprinklers are also set up by connecting them remotely with
wireless router and is only activated specified time of day.

13IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Conditions for opening windows
Carbon monoxide detector
Carbon monoxide detector is kept ‘On’ for 24 hours a day. When carbon monoxide
levels increase beyond a threshold, the change is detected by the carbon monoxide detector
(CO) placed outside of the building and instructions are sent to close window 1.

14IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Carbon Dioxide (outside)
Carbon dioxide detector is kept ‘On’ for 24 hours a day. When carbon dioxide levels
increase beyond a threshold, the change is detected by the carbon dioxide detector (CO2)
placed outside of the building and instructions are sent to close window 1.

15IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Window 1
Window 1 is a smart IoT device which is remotely connected to the wireless router
and is closed when respective instructions are received from the sensors.

16IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Carbon Dioxide detector (In house)
Carbon dioxide detector is kept ‘On’ for 24 hours a day. When carbon dioxide levels
increase beyond a threshold, the change is detected by the carbon dioxide (CO2) detector
placed inside the building and instructions are sent to open windows 2 and 3.

17IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Window 2
Another smart device Window 2 is connected remotely with wireless router and
managed with respect to instructions received from sensors.

18IOT AND SMART DEVICES
Window 3
Another smart device Window 3 is connected remotely with wireless router and
managed with respect to instructions received from sensors.

Conclusion
In conclusion this report presents the layout of IoT devices and network of Melbourne
smart office and its branch at Adelaide. The report then explains configuration of these smart
devices. Cisco packet tracer tool has been used for demonstrating the IoT network and
attached screenshots help explaining the entire process. Then this report ends after discussing
conditions on opening as well as closing of the smart windows.
