Detailed Description
PPPCellularInterface class.
This interface serves as the controller/driver for the Cellular modems (tested with UBLOX_C027 and MTS_DRAGONFLY_F411RE).
The driver will work with any generic FileHandle, and can be derived from in order to provide forms for specific interfaces, as well as adding extra power and reset controls alongside the FileHandle.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
PPPCellularInterface | ( | FileHandle * | fh, |
bool | debug = false |
||
) |
Constructor for a generic modem, using a single FileHandle for commands and PPP data.
The file handle pointer is not accessed within the constructor, only recorded for later use - this permits a derived class to pass a pointer to a not-yet-constructed member object.
Definition at line 254 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
Member Function Documentation
nsapi_error_t add_dns_server | ( | const SocketAddress & | address ) | [virtual, inherited] |
Add a domain name server to list of servers to query.
- Parameters:
-
address Destination for the host address
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure
Definition at line 60 of file NetworkInterface_stub.cpp.
void attach | ( | Callback< void(nsapi_event_t, intptr_t)> | status_cb ) | [virtual] |
Register callback for status reporting.
- Parameters:
-
status_cb The callback for status changes
Definition at line 830 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
void attach | ( | mbed::Callback< void(nsapi_event_t, intptr_t)> | status_cb ) | [virtual, inherited] |
Register callback for status reporting.
The specified status callback function will be called on status changes on the network. The parameters on the callback are the event type and event-type dependent reason parameter.
- Parameters:
-
status_cb The callback for status changes
Definition at line 65 of file NetworkInterface_stub.cpp.
nsapi_error_t connect | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Attempt to connect to the Cellular network.
Brings up the network interface. Connects to the Cellular Radio network and then brings up the underlying network stack to be used by the cellular modem over PPP interface.
If the SIM requires a PIN, and it is not set/invalid, NSAPI_ERROR_AUTH_ERROR is returned. For APN setup, default behaviour is to use 'internet' as APN string and assuming no authentication is required, i.e., username and password are not set. Optionally, a database lookup can be requested by turning on the APN database lookup feature. In order to do so, add 'MBED_CONF_PPP_CELL_IFACE_APN_LOOKUP' in your mbed_app.json. APN database is by no means exhaustive. It contains a short list of some public APNs with publicly available usernames and passwords (if required) in some particular countries only. Lookup is done using IMSI (International mobile subscriber identifier). Please note that even if 'MBED_CONF_PPP_CELL_IFACE_APN_LOOKUP' config option is set, 'set_credentials()' api still gets the precedence. If the aforementioned API is not used and the config option is set but no match is found in the lookup table then the driver tries to resort to default APN settings.
Preferred method is to setup APN using 'set_credentials()' API.
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure
Implements CellularBase.
Definition at line 553 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
nsapi_error_t connect | ( | const char * | sim_pin, |
const char * | apn = 0 , |
||
const char * | uname = 0 , |
||
const char * | pwd = 0 |
||
) | [virtual] |
Start the interface.
Attempts to connect to a Cellular network. This driver is written mainly for data network connections as CellularInterface is NetworkInterface. That's why connect() call internally calls nwk_registration() method with parameter PACKET_SWITCHED network. Circuit switched hook and registration process is implemented and left in the driver for future extension/subclass support,e.g., an SMS or GPS extension.
- Parameters:
-
sim_pin PIN for the SIM card apn optionally, access point name uname optionally, Username pwd optionally, password
- Returns:
- NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, or negative error code on failure
Implements CellularBase.
Definition at line 535 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
nsapi_error_t disconnect | ( | void | ) | [virtual] |
Attempt to disconnect from the network.
User initiated disconnect.
Brings down the network interface. Shuts down the PPP interface of the underlying network stack. Does not bring down the Radio network
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure
Disconnects from PPP connection only and brings down the underlying network interface
Implements CellularBase.
Definition at line 735 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
void enable_hup | ( | bool | enable ) | [protected, virtual] |
Enable or disable hang-up detection.
When in PPP data pump mode, it is helpful if the FileHandle will signal hang-up via POLLHUP, e.g., if the DCD line is deasserted on a UART. During command mode, this signaling is not desired. enable_hup() controls whether this function should be active.
Meant to be overridden.
Reimplemented in UARTCellularInterface.
Definition at line 278 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
nsapi_connection_status_t get_connection_status | ( | ) | const [virtual] |

nsapi_version_t | version = NSAPI_UNSPEC |
||
) | [virtual, inherited] |
Translates a hostname to an IP address with specific version.
The hostname may be either a domain name or an IP address. If the hostname is an IP address, no network transactions will be performed.
If no stack-specific DNS resolution is provided, the hostname will be resolve using a UDP socket on the stack.
- Parameters:
-
address Destination for the host SocketAddress host Hostname to resolve version IP version of address to resolve, NSAPI_UNSPEC indicates version is chosen by the stack (defaults to NSAPI_UNSPEC)

Turn modem debug traces on.
- Parameters:
-
on set true to enable debug traces
Definition at line 303 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
void modem_deinit | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
Sets the modem in unplugged state.
modem_deinit() will be equivalent to pulling the plug off of the device, i.e., detaching power and serial port. This puts the modem in lowest power state. It is meant to be overridden. If the modem is on-board, an implementation of onboard_modem_api.h will override this. If the the modem is a plugged-in device (i.e., a shield type component), the driver deriving from this class will override.
Reimplemented in OnboardCellularInterface.
Definition at line 288 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
void modem_init | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
Sets the modem up for powering on.
modem_init() is equivalent to plugging in the device, e.g., attaching power and serial port. It is meant to be overridden. If the modem is on-board, an implementation of onboard_modem_api.h will override this. If the the modem is a plugged-in device (i.e., a shield type component), the driver deriving from this class will override.
Reimplemented in OnboardCellularInterface.
Definition at line 283 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
void modem_power_down | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
Powers down the modem.
modem_power_down() is equivalent to turning off the modem by button press. It is meant to be overridden. If the modem is on-board, an implementation of onboard_modem_api.h will override this. If the the modem is a plugged-in device (i.e., a shield type component), the driver deriving from this class will override.
Reimplemented in OnboardCellularInterface.
Definition at line 298 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.
void modem_power_up | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
Powers up the modem.
modem_power_up() is equivalent to pressing the soft power button. The driver may repeat this if the modem is not responsive to AT commands. It is meant to be overridden. If the modem is on-board, an implementation of onboard_modem_api.h will override this. If the the modem is a plugged-in device (i.e., a shield type component), the driver deriving from this class will override.
Reimplemented in OnboardCellularInterface.
Definition at line 293 of file PPPCellularInterface.cpp.

- Parameters:
-
set can be set to true if the SIM pin check is supposed to be enabled and vice versa.
Sets up the flag for the driver to enable or disable SIM pin check at the next boot.
