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()
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.
string Mode [readonly]
If the service type is WiFi or Cellular, then this
property is present and contains the mode of the
network.
For WiFi services the possible values are "managed"
and "adhoc". For Cellular services it describes the
network technology. Possible values are "gprs", "edge"
and "umts".
This property might be only present for WiFi and
Cellular services.
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". Alternate values for "psk" can also
be "wpa" and "rsn".
This property might be only present for WiFi
services.
boolean LoginRequired [readonly]
This property indicates that an additional login
step, like web based authentication, is needed
before the connection establishment can proceed.
string Passphrase [readwrite]
If the service type is WiFi, then this property
can be used to store a passphrase.
No PropertyChanged signals will be sent for this
property. The PassphraseRequired property should
be monitored instead.
This property might also not always be included
since it is protected by a different security policy.
boolean PassphraseRequired [readonly]
If the service type is WiFi, then this property
indicates if a passphrase is required.
If a passphrase has been set already or if no
passphrase is needed, then this property will
be set to false.
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 SetupRequired [readonly]
If the service is Cellular, then this property
indicates that some extra setup steps are required.
In most cases it is required to fill in the APN
details.
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

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]
