Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 39 ### Connection type
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 40
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 41 The application uses Ethernet as the default connection type. To change the connection type, set one of them in `mbed_app.json`. For example, to enable 6LoWPAN ND mode:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 42
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 43 ```json
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 44 "network-interface": {
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 45 "help": "options are ETHERNET,WIFI,MESH_LOWPAN_ND,MESH_THREAD.",
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 46 "value": "MESH_LOWPAN_ND"
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 47 }
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 48 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 49
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 50 ### Client credentials
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 51
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 52 To register the application to the Connector service, you need to create and set the client side certificate.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 53
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 54 1. Go to [mbed Device Connector](https://connector.mbed.com) and log in with your mbed account.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 55 1. On mbed Device Connector, go to [My Devices > Security credentials](https://connector.mbed.com/#credentials) and click the **Get my device security credentials** button to get new credentials for your device.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 56 1. Replace the contents in `security.h` of this project's directory with content copied above.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 57
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 58 ### 6LoWPAN ND and Thread settings
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 59
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 60 6LoWPAN ND and Thread use IPv6 for connectivity. Therefore, you need to verify first that you have a working IPv6 connection. To do that, ping the Connector IPv6 address `2607:f0d0:2601:52::20` from your network.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 61
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 62 #### mbed gateway
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 63
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 64 To connect the example application in 6LoWPAN ND or Thread mode to Connector, you need to set up an mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router as follows:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 65
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 66 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to the internet.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 67 2. Use a micro-USB cable to connect the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to your computer. The computer will list the router as removable storage.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 68 3. The firmware for the gateway is located in the `GW_Binary` folder in the root of this example. Select the binary matching your application bootstrap mode:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 69
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 70 * For the **6LoWPAN ND** bootstrap, use `gateway6LoWPANDynamic.bin`.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 71 * For the **Thread** bootstrap, use `gatewayThreadDynamic.bin`.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 72
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 73 The dynamic binaries use IPv6 autoconfiguration and enable the client to connect to the Connector service. The static binaries create a site-local IPv6 network and packets cannot be routed outside.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 74
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 75 4. Copy the gateway binary file to the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to flash the device. The device reboots automatically after flashing. If that does not happen, press the **Reset** button on the board.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 76
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 77 You can view debug traces from the gateway with a serial port monitor. The gateway uses baud rate 460800. The gateway IPv6 address is correctly configured when the following trace is visible: `Eth bootstrap ready, IP=XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX`.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 78
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 79 #### Channel settings
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 80
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 81 The default 2.4GHz channel settings are already defined by the [mbed-mesh-api](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-mesh-api) to match the mbed gateway settings. The application can override these settings by adding them to the `mbed_app.json` file in the main project directory. For example:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 82
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 83 ```json
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 84 "target_overrides": {
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 85 "*": {

Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 89 "mbed-mesh-api.thread-config-channel": 12
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 90 }
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 91 }
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 92 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 93
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 94 For sub-GHz shields (AT86RF212B) use the following overrides, **6LoWPAN ND only**:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 95
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 96 ```json
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 97 "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel-page": 2,
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 98 "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel": 1
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 99 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 100
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 101 For more information about the radio shields, see [the related documentation](docs/radio_module_identify.md). All the configurable settings can be found in the `mbed-os-example-client/mbed-os/features/FEATURE_IPV6/mbed-mesh-api/mbed_lib.json` file.

Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 145
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 146 ### IP address setup
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 147
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 148 This example uses IPv4 to communicate with the [mbed Device Connector Server](https://api.connector.mbed.com) except for 6LoWPAN ND and Thread. The example program should automatically get an IPv4 address from the router when connected over Ethernet.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 149
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 150 If your network does not have DHCP enabled, you have to manually assign a static IP address to the board. We recommend having DHCP enabled to make everything run smoothly.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 151
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 152 ### Changing socket type
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 153
