| 5 | +.. module:: network |
| 6 | + :synopsis: network configuration |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +This module provides network drivers and routing configuration. To use this |
| 9 | +module, a MicroPython variant/build with network capabilities must be installed. |
| 10 | +Network drivers for specific hardware are available within this module and are |
| 11 | +used to configure hardware network interface(s). Network services provided |
| 12 | +by configured interfaces are then available for use via the :mod:`socket` |
| 13 | +module. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +For example:: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + # connect/ show IP config a specific network interface |
| 18 | + # see below for examples of specific drivers |
| 19 | + import network |
| 20 | + import time |
| 21 | + nic = network.Driver(...) |
| 22 | + if not nic.isconnected(): |
| 23 | + nic.connect() |
| 24 | + print("Waiting for connection...") |
| 25 | + while not nic.isconnected(): |
| 26 | + time.sleep(1) |
| 27 | + print(nic.ipconfig("addr4")) |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + # now use socket as usual |
| 30 | + import socket |
| 31 | + addr = socket.getaddrinfo('micropython.org', 80)[0][-1] |
| 32 | + s = socket.socket() |
| 33 | + s.connect(addr) |
| 34 | + s.send(b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: micropython.org\r\n\r\n') |
| 35 | + data = s.recv(1000) |
| 36 | + s.close() |

| 38 | +Common network adapter interface |
| 39 | +================================ |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +This section describes an (implied) abstract base class for all network |
| 42 | +interface classes implemented by :term:`MicroPython ports <MicroPython port>` |
| 43 | +for different hardware. This means that MicroPython does not actually |
| 44 | +provide ``AbstractNIC`` class, but any actual NIC class, as described |
| 45 | +in the following sections, implements methods as described here. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +.. class:: AbstractNIC(id=None, ...) |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Instantiate a network interface object. Parameters are network interface |
| 50 | +dependent. If there are more than one interface of the same type, the first |
| 51 | +parameter should be `id`. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.active([is_active]) |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + Activate ("up") or deactivate ("down") the network interface, if |
| 56 | + a boolean argument is passed. Otherwise, query current state if |
| 57 | + no argument is provided. Most other methods require an active |
| 58 | + interface (behaviour of calling them on inactive interface is |
| 59 | + undefined). |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.connect([service_id, key=None, *, ...]) |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | + Connect the interface to a network. This method is optional, and |
| 64 | + available only for interfaces which are not "always connected". |
| 65 | + If no parameters are given, connect to the default (or the only) |
| 66 | + service. If a single parameter is given, it is the primary identifier |
| 67 | + of a service to connect to. It may be accompanied by a key |
| 68 | + (password) required to access said service. There can be further |
| 69 | + arbitrary keyword-only parameters, depending on the networking medium |
| 70 | + type and/or particular device. Parameters can be used to: a) |
| 71 | + specify alternative service identifier types; b) provide additional |
| 72 | + connection parameters. For various medium types, there are different |
| 73 | + sets of predefined/recommended parameters, among them: |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + * WiFi: *bssid* keyword to connect to a specific BSSID (MAC address) |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.disconnect() |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + Disconnect from network. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.isconnected() |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + Returns ``True`` if connected to network, otherwise returns ``False``. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.scan(*, ...) |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + Scan for the available network services/connections. Returns a |
| 88 | + list of tuples with discovered service parameters. For various |
| 89 | + network media, there are different variants of predefined/ |
| 90 | + recommended tuple formats, among them: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | + * WiFi: (ssid, bssid, channel, RSSI, security, hidden). There |
| 93 | + may be further fields, specific to a particular device. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | + The function may accept additional keyword arguments to filter scan |
| 96 | + results (e.g. scan for a particular service, on a particular channel, |
| 97 | + for services of a particular set, etc.), and to affect scan |
| 98 | + duration and other parameters. Where possible, parameter names |
| 99 | + should match those in connect(). |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.status([param]) |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | + Query dynamic status information of the interface. When called with no |
| 104 | + argument the return value describes the network link status. Otherwise |
| 105 | + *param* should be a string naming the particular status parameter to |
| 106 | + retrieve. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | + The return types and values are dependent on the network |
| 109 | + medium/technology. Some of the parameters that may be supported are: |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + * WiFi STA: use ``'rssi'`` to retrieve the RSSI of the AP signal |
| 112 | + * WiFi AP: use ``'stations'`` to retrieve a list of all the STAs |
| 113 | + connected to the AP. The list contains tuples of the form |
| 114 | + (MAC, RSSI). |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.ipconfig('param') |
| 117 | + AbstractNIC.ipconfig(param=value, ...) |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + Get or set interface-specific IP-configuration interface parameters. |
| 120 | + Supported parameters are the following (availability of a particular |
| 121 | + parameter depends on the port and the specific network interface): |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | + * ``dhcp4`` (``True/False``) obtain an IPv4 address, gateway and dns |
| 124 | + server via DHCP. This method does not block and wait for an address |
| 125 | + to be obtained. To check if an address was obtained, use the read-only |
| 126 | + property ``has_dhcp4``. |
| 127 | + * ``gw4`` Get/set the IPv4 default-gateway. |
| 128 | + * ``dhcp6`` (``True/False``) obtain a DNS server via stateless DHCPv6. |
| 129 | + Obtaining IP Addresses via DHCPv6 is currently not implemented. |
| 130 | + * ``autoconf6`` (``True/False``) obtain a stateless IPv6 address via |
| 131 | + the network prefix shared in router advertisements. To check if a |
| 132 | + stateless address was obtained, use the read-only |
| 133 | + property ``has_autoconf6``. |
| 134 | + * ``addr4`` (e.g. ``192.168.0.4/24``) obtain the current IPv4 address |
| 135 | + and network mask as ``(ip, subnet)``-tuple, regardless of how this |
| 136 | + address was obtained. This method can be used to set a static IPv4 |
| 137 | + address either as ``(ip, subnet)``-tuple or in CIDR-notation. |
| 138 | + * ``addr6`` (e.g. ``fe80::1234:5678``) obtain a list of current IPv6 |
| 139 | + addresses as ``(ip, state, preferred_lifetime, valid_lifetime)``-tuple. |
| 140 | + This include link-local, slaac and static addresses. |
| 141 | + ``preferred_lifetime`` and ``valid_lifetime`` represent the remaining |
| 142 | + valid and preferred lifetime of each IPv6 address, in seconds. |
| 143 | + ``state`` indicates the current state of the address: |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | + * ``0x08`` - ``0x0f`` indicates the address is tentative, counting the |
| 146 | + number of probes sent. |
| 147 | + * ``0x10`` The address is deprecated (but still valid) |
| 148 | + * ``0x30`` The address is preferred (and valid) |
| 149 | + * ``0x40`` The address is duplicated and can not be used. |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | + This method can be used to set a static IPv6 |
| 152 | + address, by setting this parameter to the address, like ``fe80::1234:5678``. |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.ifconfig([(ip, subnet, gateway, dns)]) |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | + .. note:: This function is deprecated, use `ipconfig()` instead. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | + Get/set IP-level network interface parameters: IP address, subnet mask, |
| 159 | + gateway and DNS server. When called with no arguments, this method returns |
| 160 | + a 4-tuple with the above information. To set the above values, pass a |
| 161 | + 4-tuple with the required information. For example:: |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | + nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8')) |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +.. method:: AbstractNIC.config('param') |
| 166 | + AbstractNIC.config(param=value, ...) |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | + Get or set general network interface parameters. These methods allow to work |
| 169 | + with additional parameters beyond standard IP configuration (as dealt with by |
| 170 | + `ipconfig()`). These include network-specific and hardware-specific |
| 171 | + parameters. For setting parameters, the keyword argument |
| 172 | + syntax should be used, and multiple parameters can be set at once. For |
| 173 | + querying, a parameter name should be quoted as a string, and only one |
| 174 | + parameter can be queried at a time:: |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | + # Set WiFi access point name (formally known as SSID) and WiFi channel |
| 177 | + ap.config(ssid='My AP', channel=11) |
| 178 | + # Query params one by one |
| 179 | + print(ap.config('ssid')) |
| 180 | + print(ap.config('channel')) |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +Specific network class implementations |
| 183 | +====================================== |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +The following concrete classes implement the AbstractNIC interface and |
| 186 | +provide a way to control networking interfaces of various kinds. |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +.. toctree:: |
| 189 | + :maxdepth: 1 |

| 191 | + network.WLAN.rst |
| 192 | + network.WLANWiPy.rst |

| 196 | + |
| 197 | +Network functions |
| 198 | +================= |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +The following are functions available in the network module. |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +.. function:: country([code]) |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | + Get or set the two-letter ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code to be used for |
| 205 | + radio compliance. |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | + If the *code* parameter is provided, the country will be set to this value. |
| 208 | + If the function is called without parameters, it returns the current |
| 209 | + country. |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | + The default code ``"XX"`` represents the "worldwide" region. |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +.. function:: hostname([name]) |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | + Get or set the hostname that will identify this device on the network. It will |
| 216 | + be used by all interfaces. |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | + This hostname is used for: |
| 219 | + * Sending to the DHCP server in the client request. (If using DHCP) |
| 220 | + * Broadcasting via mDNS. (If enabled) |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | + If the *name* parameter is provided, the hostname will be set to this value. |
| 223 | + If the function is called without parameters, it returns the current |
| 224 | + hostname. |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | + A change in hostname is typically only applied during connection. For DHCP |
| 227 | + this is because the hostname is part of the DHCP client request, and the |
| 228 | + implementation of mDNS in most ports only initialises the hostname once |
| 229 | + during connection. For this reason, you must set the hostname before |
| 230 | + activating/connecting your network interfaces. |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | + The length of the hostname is limited to 32 characters. |
| 233 | + :term:`MicroPython ports <MicroPython port>` may choose to set a lower |
| 234 | + limit for memory reasons. If the given name does not fit, a `ValueError` |
| 235 | + is raised. |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | + The default hostname is typically the name of the board. |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +.. function:: ipconfig('param') |
| 240 | + ipconfig(param=value, ...) |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | + Get or set global IP-configuration parameters. |
| 243 | + Supported parameters are the following (availability of a particular |
| 244 | + parameter depends on the port and the specific network interface): |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | + * ``dns`` Get/set DNS server. This method can support both, IPv4 and |
| 247 | + IPv6 addresses. |
| 248 | + * ``prefer`` (``4/6``) Specify which address type to return, if a domain |
| 249 | + name has both A and AAAA records. Note, that this does not clear the |
| 250 | + local DNS cache, so that any previously obtained addresses might not |
| 251 | + change. |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +.. function:: phy_mode([mode]) |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | + Get or set the PHY mode. |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | + If the *mode* parameter is provided, the PHY mode will be set to this value. |
| 258 | + If the function is called without parameters, it returns the current PHY |
| 259 | + mode. |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | + The possible modes are defined as constants: |
| 262 | + * ``MODE_11B`` -- IEEE 802.11b, |
| 263 | + * ``MODE_11G`` -- IEEE 802.11g, |
| 264 | + * ``MODE_11N`` -- IEEE 802.11n. |
