the latest firmware and software..pep2 2.1.18 pep1 1.1.20 firmware 6.0.21

i think it doesn't work with fw 6.0.21
Because i tryed it on a TSU9600 with firmware 5.0.6 (i think), worked fine...
Same file on a TSU9800, didn't work..

FAO Lyndel, did you manage to replicate the wifi on/off problem i had..

It seems to happen with the new firmware update..

What is FAO?

Remind me please as I've been busy as well, is this the wifiEnabled = true | false; ?

when you envoked the wifiEnabled=false, the aerial mast icon used to have a red cross above it, but now the icon completely disapears (there is just an empty space)

If you have a small config that does this, you might want to email it to ProntoTeam at philips dot com. Honestly, I did not try to reproduce the problem.

FAO = For attenion of

OK... So where are we with this? Seems like this is the solution to roaming...

Odd solution.. But I will give it a shot. Any word from philips?

This is the only solution available. Unless, of course you want to install a PakEdge router. :-)

Ya think it would cover a 7000 sq ft house... with radiant on 4 floors? lol... looks like I'll us 3com baseline 2489 with 4 9550 ap's... but still gonna have a roamin issue... So the point is... what is up with roamin? and switchin aps...

If you use multiple Pakedge WAP's, configure them for their WDS service, and run them on the same radio channels, they will pass off clients between them without the client knowing it. In theory (I have not tried this) the WAPS know when a client has roamed to another "zone" and the WAP's pass the client between them. The Client just sees the radio at the same frequency still working. Call Pakedge and discuss it with them

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was looking for something like this for a while.

My problem is that my 9400 looses connection to the AP now and then.

I tested the wifi on/off through a button an it works. The 9400 reconnects to AP with no problem.

What I would like is to automate this: if the 9400 looses connection to the AP, it restarts the wifi.

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks.

If you are familiar with JavaScript and have the latest firmware (7.2.4 or higher) on your machine, you can see the dev guide for the System Class.

A.12.1.11. System.getNetlinkStatus()
(available since application version 7.2.4)
Synopsis
System.getNetlinkStatus()
Purpose
Obtain the control panel's network interface status.
Parameters
None.
Return
String
Either “disabled”, “sleeping”, “wifi-disconnected”, “wifi-noip”, “wifi-standalone”,
“wifi-level1”, “wifi-level2”, “wifi-level3”, “wifi-level4”, “ethdisconnected”,
“eth-noip” or “eth-ok”.

Note that you can also add event listeners to the wifi status and will get a callback when it drops. Once you stop Wi-Fi, you may have add an event listener again. You will need to test this to see if it requires re-registration for events. Also note that I have only supplied addEventListener below.
In order to play well with the system, if you call add a second time, always remove the previous registration by calling System.removeEventListener().


A.12.1.1. System.addEventListener()

(available since application version 7.2.4)

Synopsis
System.addEventListener(type,listener)

Purpose
Registers a function to be called for a class of system events.

Parameters
type String
Type of events to listen for. Valid types are “battery"” and
“netlink”.
listener systemEventListener

When you create a callback, you would do so like this.

A.12.2.1. systemEventListener
Purpose
Called when a system event occurs, if registered with System.addEventListener() .
Parameters
event String
The new state caused by the event.
For event listeners registered for “battery” events, this is
the value which would be retrieved with the getBatteryStatus()
method.
For event listeners registered for “netlink” events, this
is the value which would be retrieved with the get-
NetlinkStatus() method.


For testing purposes, add this code to either the Activity Script or Page Script.

function wifiChanged(newState)
{
// here, newState is a string as documented in the DEV Guide.
// write your code to act accordingly.
// Either “disabled”, “sleeping”, “wifi-disconnected”, “wifi-noip”,
// “wifi-standalone”, “wifi-level1”, “wifi-level2”, “wifi-level3”,
// “wifi-level4”, “ethdisconnected”,“eth-noip” or “eth-ok”.

/* one or more of the target states you want/*
if ('wifi-disconnected,wifi-noip'.indexOf(newState) >=0 )
{
// remove listener so don't get 2nd callback when you disable.
System.removeEventListener('netlink', wifiChanged);
CF.activity().wifiEnabled = false;
CF.activity().wifiEnabled = true;
System.addEventListener('netlink', wifiChanged);
}
}
System.addEventListener('netlink', wifiChanged);

Lyndel McGee,

WOW! That is just what I needed! Thanks.

Mike,

If you don't mind, please post back as to whether or not this worked 'out of the box'.

Thanks,
Lyndel
