Service hierarchy ================= Service net.connman Interface net.connman.Service Object path [variable prefix]/{service0,service1,...} Methods dict GetProperties() Returns properties for the service object. See the properties section for available properties. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void SetProperty(string name, variant value) Changes the value of the specified property. Only properties that are listed as read-write are changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal will be emitted. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments [service].Error.InvalidProperty void ClearProperty(string name) Clears the value of the specified property. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments [service].Error.InvalidProperty void Connect() Connect this service. It will attempt to connect WiFi, WiMAX or Bluetooth services. For Ethernet devices this method can only be used if it has previously been disconnected. Otherwise the plugging of a cable will trigger connecting automatically. If no cable is plugged in this method will fail. This method call will only return in case of an error or when the service is fully connected. So setting a longer D-Bus timeout might be a really good idea. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void Disconnect() Disconnect this service. If the service is not connected an error message will be generated. On Ethernet devices this will disconnect the IP details from the service. It will not magically unplug the cable. When no cable is plugged in this method will fail. This method can also be used to abort a previous connectiong attempt via the Connect method. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void Remove() A successfully connected service with Favorite=true can be removed this way. If it is connected, it will be automatically disconnected first. If the service requires a passphrase it will be cleared and forgotten when removing. This is similar to setting the Favorite property to false, but that is currently not supported. In the case a connection attempt failed and the service is in the State=failure, this method can also be used to reset the service. Calling this method on Ethernet devices will cause an error message. It is not possible to remove these kind of devices. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void MoveBefore(object service) If a service has been used before, this allows a reorder of the favorite services. The target service object must be part of this profile. Moving between profiles is not supported. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void MoveAfter(object service) If a service has been used before, this allows a reorder of the favorite services. The target service object must be part of this profile. Moving between profiles is not supported. Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments void ResetCounters() [experimental] Reset the counter statistics. Possible Errors: None Signals PropertyChanged(string name, variant value) This signal indicates a changed value of the given property. Properties string State [readonly] The service state information. Valid states are "idle", "failure", "association", "configuration", "ready" and "online". The "ready" state signals a successfully connected device. "online" signals that an Internet connection is available and has been verified. string Error [readonly] The service error status details. When error occur during connection or disconnection the detailed information is represented in this property to help the user interface to present the user with alternate options. This property is only valid when the service is in the "failure" state. Otherwise it might be empty or not present at all. Current defined error code is "dhcp-failed". string Name [readonly] The service name (for example "Wireless" etc.) This name can be used for directly displaying it in the application. It has pure informational purpose. For Ethernet devices and hidden WiFi networks it is not guaranteed that this property is present. string Type [readonly] The service type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.) This information should only be used to determine advanced properties or showing the correct icon to the user. array{string} Security [readonly] If the service type is WiFi, then this property is present and contains the list of security methods or key management settings. Possible values are "none", "wep", "psk", "ieee8021x" and also "wps". This property might be only present for WiFi services. uint8 Strength [readonly] Indicates the signal strength of the service. This is a normalized value between 0 and 100. This property will not be present for Ethernet devices. boolean Favorite [readonly] Will be true if a cable is plugged in or the user selected and successfully connected to this service. This value is automatically changed and to revert it back to false the Remove() method needs to be used. boolean Immutable [readonly] This value will be set to true if the service is configured externally via a configuration file. The only valid operation are Connect() and of course Disconnect(). The Remove() method will result in an error. boolean AutoConnect [readwrite] If set to true, this service will auto-connect when no other connection is available. The service won't auto-connect while roaming. For favorite services it is possible to change this value to prevent or permit automatic connection attempts. boolean Roaming [readonly] This property indicates if this service is roaming. In the case of Cellular services this normally indicates connections to a foreign provider when traveling abroad. array{string} Nameservers [readonly] The list of currently active nameservers for this service. If the server is not in READY or ONLINE state than this list will be empty. Global nameservers are automatically added to this list. The array represents a sorted list of the current nameservers. The first one has the highest priority and is used by default. When using DHCP this array represents the nameservers provided by the network. In case of manual settings, the ones from Nameservers.Configuration are used. array{string} Nameservers.Configuration [readwrite] The list of manually configured domain name servers. Some 3G networks don't provide correct name servers and this allows for an override. This array is sorted by priority and the first entry in the list represents the nameserver with the highest priority. When using manual configuration and no global nameservers are configured, then it is useful to configure this setting. Changes to the domain name servers can be done at any time. It will not cause a disconnect of the service. However there might be small window where name resolution might fail. array{string} Domains [readonly] The list of currently used search domains. array{string} Domains.Configuration [readwrite] The list of manually configured search domains. dict IPv4 [readonly] string Method [readonly] Possible values are "dhcp", "manual" and "off". The value "fixed" indicates an IP address that can not be modified. For example cellular networks return fixed information. string Address [readonly] The current configured IPv4 address. string Netmask [readonly] The current configured IPv4 netmask. string Gateway [readonly] The current configured IPv4 gateway. dict IPv4.Configuration [readwrite] Same values as IPv4 property. The IPv4 represents the actual system configuration while this allows user configuration. Changing these settings will cause a state change of the service. The service will become unavailable until the new configuration has been successfully installed. dict IPv6 [readonly] string Method [readonly] Possible values are "auto", "manual", "6to4" and "off". The value "fixed" indicates an IP address that can not be modified. For example cellular networks return fixed information. The value "6to4" is returned if 6to4 tunnel is created by connman. The tunnel can only be created if method was set to "auto" by the user. User cannot set the method to "6to4". string Address [readonly] The current configured IPv6 address. uint8 PrefixLength [readonly] The prefix length of the IPv6 address. string Gateway [readonly] The current configured IPv6 gateway. string Privacy [readonly] Enable or disable IPv6 privacy extension that is described in RFC 4941. The value has only meaning if Method is set to "auto". Value "disabled" means that privacy extension is disabled and normal autoconf addresses are used. Value "enabled" means that privacy extension is enabled and system prefers to use public addresses over temporary addresses. Value "prefered" means that privacy extension is enabled and system prefers temporary addresses over public addresses. Default value is "disabled". dict IPv6.Configuration [readwrite] Same values as IPv6 property. The IPv6 represents the actual system configuration while this allows user configuration. Changing these settings will cause a state change of the service. The service will become unavailable until the new configuration has been successfully installed. dict Proxy [readonly] string Method [readonly] Possible values are "direct", "auto" and "manual". In case of "auto" method, the URL file can be provided unless you want to let DHCP/WPAD auto-discover to be tried. In such case if DHCP and WPAD auto-discover methods fails then method will be "direct". In case of "direct" no additional information are provided. For the "manual" method the Servers have to be set, Excludes is optional. string URL [readonly] Automatic proxy configuration URL. Used by "auto" method. array{string} Servers [readonly] Used when "manual" method is set. List of proxy URIs. The URI without a protocol will be interpreted as the generic proxy URI. All others will target a specific protocol and only once. Example for generic proxy server entry would be like this: "server.example.com:911". array{string} Excludes [readonly] Used when "manual" method is set. List of hosts which can be accessed directly. dict Proxy.Configuration [readwrite] Same values as Proxy property. The Proxy represents the actual system configuration while this allows user configuration. If "auto" method is set with an empty URL, then DHCP/WPAD auto-discover will be tried. Otherwise the specified URL will be used. dict Provider [readonly] string Host [readonly] VPN host IP. string Domain [readonly] VPN Domain. string Name [readonly] VPN provider Name. string Type [readonly] VPN provider type. dict Ethernet [readonly] string Method [readonly] Possible values are "auto" and "manual". string Interface [readonly] Interface name (for example eth0). string Address [readonly] Ethernet device address (MAC address). uint16 MTU [readonly] The Ethernet MTU (default is 1500). uint16 Speed [readonly] Selected speed of the line. This information might not always be available. string Duplex [readonly] Selected duplex settings of the line. Possible values are "half" and "full". This information might not always be available.
