Networking

---

Thanks to .NET, Endpoint provides full networking support. It includes everything from a simple socket handling to full cloud support.

Configuration

Wi-Fi

The network needs to be configured properly before it can be used. For example, Wi-Fi needs SSID and password.

Wi-Fi is supported through USB Wi-Fi dongles containing the RTL8188 chipset.

using GHIElectronics.Endpoint.Devices.Network;
//...

var networkType = NetworkInterfaceType.WiFi;
var networkSetting = new WiFiNetworkInterfaceSettings
{
    Ssid = "Endpoint",
    Password = "xxxxxxx",
    DhcpEnable = true,
};

var network = new NetworkController(networkType, networkSetting);

network.NetworkLinkConnectedChanged += (a, b) =>
{
    if (b.Connected)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Connected");

    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Disconnected");
    }
};

network.NetworkAddressChanged += (a, b) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Address: {0}\n gateway: {1}\n DNS: {2}\n MAC: {3} ", b.Address, b.Gateway, b.Dns[0], b.MACAddress));
};

network.Enable();

USB Ethernet

var networkType = NetworkInterfaceType.UsbEthernet;
var networkSetting = new NetworkInterfaceSettings
{
    Address = new IPAddress(new byte[] { xx, xx, xx, xx }),
    SubnetMask = new IPAddress(new byte[] { 255, 255, 255, 0 }),
    GatewayAddress = new IPAddress(new byte[] { xx, xx, xx, xx }),
    DnsAddresses = new IPAddress[] { new IPAddress(new byte[] { 75, 75, 75, 75 }) },
    DhcpEnable = false,
};

var network = new NetworkController(networkType, networkSetting);

network.NetworkLinkConnectedChanged += (a, b) =>
{
    if (b.Connected)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Connected");
       
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Disconnected");
    }
};

network.NetworkAddressChanged += (a, b) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Address: {0}\n gateway: {1}\n DNS: {2}\n MAC: {3} ", b.Address, b.Gateway, b.Dns[0], b.MACAddress));
};

network.Enable();

MQTT

MQTT, and other common protocols, are supported through one of the many available NuGet packages. DotNetty.Codecs.Mqtt is the one of the common ones for example.
