.. currentmodule:: network
.. _network.PPP:
class PPP -- create network connections over serial PPP
=======================================================
This class allows you to create a network connection over a serial port using
the PPP protocol. It is only available on selected ports and boards.
Example usage::
import network
ppp = network.PPP(uart)
ppp.connect()
while not ppp.isconnected():
pass
print(ppp.ipconfig("addr4"))
# use the socket module as usual, etc
ppp.disconnect()
Constructors
------------
.. class:: PPP(stream)
Create a PPP driver object.
Arguments are:
- *stream* is any object that supports the stream protocol, but is most commonly a
:class:`machine.UART` instance. This stream object must have an ``irq()`` method
and an ``IRQ_RXIDLE`` constant, for use by `PPP.connect`.
Methods
-------
.. method:: PPP.connect(security=SEC_NONE, user=None, key=None)
Initiate a PPP connection with the given parameters:
- *security* is the type of security, either ``PPP.SEC_NONE``, ``PPP.SEC_PAP``,
or ``PPP.SEC_CHAP``.
- *user* is an optional user name to use with the security mode.
- *key* is an optional password to use with the security mode.
When this method is called the underlying stream has its interrupt configured to call
`PPP.poll` via ``stream.irq(ppp.poll, stream.IRQ_RXIDLE)``. This makes sure the
stream is polled, and data passed up the PPP stack, wheverver data becomes available
on the stream.
The connection proceeds asynchronously, in the background.
.. method:: PPP.disconnect()
Terminate the connection. This must be called to cleanly close the PPP connection.
.. method:: PPP.isconnected()
Returns ``True`` if the PPP link is connected and up.
Returns ``False`` otherwise.
.. method:: PPP.status()
Returns the PPP status.
.. method:: PPP.config(config_parameters)
Sets or gets parameters of the PPP interface. There are currently no parameter that
can be set or retrieved.
.. method:: PPP.ipconfig('param')
PPP.ipconfig(param=value, ...)
See `AbstractNIC.ipconfig`.
.. method:: PPP.ifconfig([(ip, subnet, gateway, dns)])
See `AbstractNIC.ifconfig`.
.. method:: PPP.poll()
Poll the underlying stream for data, and pass it up the PPP stack.
This is called automatically if the stream is a UART with a RXIDLE interrupt,
so it's not usually necessary to call it manually.
Constants
---------
.. data:: PPP.SEC_NONE
PPP.SEC_PAP
PPP.SEC_CHAP
The type of connection security.
