# DECT Relay Agent Bridges the CollabSupport bot (public cloud) to Cisco DBS-210 DECT base stations on the private `10.0.0.0/8` corporate network. ## Why it exists The bot process runs in the public cloud and can't reach `10.x`. This agent runs inside the data center, dials outbound over WSS to the bot, and executes any DECT command (collect status, reboot, factory-reset, etc.) the bot pushes to it. Only one agent is expected to run at a time. If a second agent connects, the bot assumes it's a legitimate restart, closes the old socket, and adopts the new one. ## Prerequisites - Node.js ≥ 20 - Route from the agent host to `10.0.0.0/8` on TCP 443 - Route from the agent host to the bot's public HTTPS endpoint - The DECT serviceability password (Control Hub → Calling → Features → DECT Networks → Manage → Manage DECT serviceability password) ## Install ```bash cd dect-relay-agent npm install ``` `ws`, `axios`, and `dotenv` are the only runtime dependencies. The agent imports the shared `integrations/cisco-dect/` modules from the parent repo via relative paths, so the parent workspace must be present on disk. ## Configure ```bash cp .env.example .env $EDITOR .env ``` Required values: | Var | Meaning | |---|---| | `DECT_RELAY_BOT_URL` | Full WSS URL to the bot's DECT relay endpoint (`wss://your-bot-host/dect-relay/ws`) | | `DECT_RELAY_AGENT_TOKEN` | Shared bearer token — MUST match the bot's `DECT_RELAY_AGENT_TOKEN` exactly | | `DECT_ADMIN_USER` | Usually `admin` | | `DECT_ADMIN_PASSWORD` | Fleet-wide serviceability password | Generate a fresh token: `openssl rand -hex 32`. Rotate on both sides at once — the bot compares tokens with `timingSafeEqual` and will reject any drift with a 401 on the WSS upgrade. ## Run ```bash npm start ``` You should see: ``` [startup] dect-relay-agent v0.1.0 — hostname=..., bot=wss://... [connect] Dialing wss://.../dect-relay/ws [connect] Connected — sending hello ``` And on the bot side: ``` [dect:relay-hub] Agent connected from ... [dect:relay-hub] Agent hello: version=0.1.0 host=... caps=collect,reboot,... ``` ## Wire protocol All frames are JSON, one per WebSocket message. **Agent → Bot on connect:** ```json { "type": "hello", "agentVersion": "0.1.0", "hostname": "dc-dect-relay-01", "capabilities": ["collect","reboot","force-reboot","reboot-chain", "force-reboot-chain","factory-reset","reconfigure-tree"] } ``` **Bot → Agent (command):** ```json { "id": "cmd_", "type": "collect", "baseIp": "10.4.11.87" } { "id": "cmd_", "type": "reboot", "baseIp": "10.4.11.87" } ``` **Agent → Bot (reply):** ```json { "id": "cmd_", "ok": true, "elapsedMs": 812, "result": { "parsed": { ... }, "verdict": { "healthy": true, ... } } } { "id": "cmd_", "ok": false, "error": { "code": "DIGEST_401", "message": "Base rejected credentials" } } ``` **Heartbeat (both directions, every 30s):** ```json { "type": "ping", "at": 1720000000000 } { "type": "pong", "at": 1720000000000 } ``` The bot terminates the socket if no `pong` arrives within 90s; the agent auto-reconnects with exponential backoff (1s / 2s / 4s / … capped at 30s + 0-1000ms jitter). ## Safety guarantees - DECT admin credentials NEVER leave this agent. The bot only knows the WSS bearer token. - All mutating actions (reboot, factory-reset, reconfigure-tree) are only executed when the bot explicitly issues the corresponding command frame. The agent has no autonomous logic. - The agent enforces no policy — the bot decides who can reboot what. See the bot's audit log for the full record of actions taken (`igmp:audit` style scopes in daily log files). - The agent quarantines mutating actions from probes via the exact same safety model as the CLI tool (`integrations/cisco-dect/probes.js` — GET-triggered actions are only reachable via explicit `trigger*` helpers, never via a generic path fetcher). ## Deploying as a container A `Dockerfile` isn't included yet — production deployment shape is TBD. Minimum viable: ```Dockerfile FROM node:20-alpine WORKDIR /app # The agent imports from ../integrations/cisco-dect/, so copy the # whole workspace (or at least these two paths). COPY package.json package-lock.json ./ COPY dect-relay-agent ./dect-relay-agent COPY integrations/cisco-dect ./integrations/cisco-dect COPY utils/httpDigestAuth.js ./utils/httpDigestAuth.js RUN cd dect-relay-agent && npm ci --omit=dev CMD ["node", "dect-relay-agent/index.js"] ``` Set the env vars from `.env.example` via your orchestrator's secret store, not baked into the image.
