8 Methods         dict GetProperties()
9
10                         Returns properties for the modem object. See
11                         the properties section for available properties.
12
13                 void SetProperty(string property, variant value)
14
15                         Changes the value of the specified property. Only
16                         properties that are listed as readwrite are
17                         changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
18                         will be emitted.
19
20                         Possible Errors: [service].Error.InProgress
21                                          [service].Error.NotImplemented
22                                          [service].Error.InvalidArguments
23                                          [service].Error.NotAvailable
24                                          [service].Error.AccessDenied
25                                          [service].Error.Failed
26
27 Signals         PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
28
29                         This signal indicates a changed value of the given
30                         property.
31
32 Properties      boolean Powered [readwrite]
33
34                         Boolean representing the power state of the modem
35                         device.
36
37                 boolean Online [readwrite]
38
39                         Boolean representing the rf state of the modem.
40                         Online is false in flight mode.
41
42                 boolean Lockdown [readwrite]
43
44                         Boolean representing the lock state of the modem.
45                         Setting it to true, makes the calling application hold
46                         the modem lock and power it down. Setting to false
47                         makes the it release the modem lock. Only the
48                         application that holds the lock can power up the modem.
49                         If the the application exits Lockdown is set to false.
50
51                 boolean Emergency [readonly, optional, experimental]
52
53                         Boolean representing the emergency mode of the
54                         modem. The Emergency is true if an emergency call or
55                         related operation is currently active.
56
57                 string Name [readonly, optional]
58
59                         Friendly name of the modem device.
60
61                 string Manufacturer [readonly, optional]
62
63                         String representing the manufacturer of the modem
64                         device.
65
66                         This is usually obtained by the +CGMI AT command.
67
68                 string Model [readonly, optional]
69
70                         String representing the model of the modem device.
71
72                         This is usually obtained by the +CGMM AT command.
73
74                 string Revision [readonly, optional]
75
76                         String representing the revision of the modem device.
77
78                         This is usually obtained by using the +CGMR AT command.
79
80                 string Serial [readonly, optional]
81
82                         String represeting the serial number of the modem
83                         device.
84
85                         This is usually obtained by using the +CGSN AT command.
86
87                 array{string} Features [readonly]
88
89                         List of currently enabled features. It uses simple
90                         string abbreviations like "sms", "sim" etc.
91
92                 array{string} Interfaces [readonly]
93
94                         Set of interfaces currently supported by the mode
95                         device. The set depends on the state of the device
96                         (registration status, SIM inserted status,
97                         network capabilities, device capabilities, etc.)
98
99                         Please note that the set of Interfaces can and does
100                         change frequently (e.g. due to change in Powered
101                         and Online properties.)  If a given interface is no
102                         longer available, then the application should assume
103                         that all data for that interface has become invalid,
104                         e.g. calls have been dropped, network registration
105                         lost, etc.
106
107                 string Type [readonly]
108
109                         Indicates whether the modem is virtual or a real
110                         hardware one. This information should only be used
111                         to identify which componet (e.g. ConnMan or a phone
112                         dialer) should take control over the modem. It does
113                         not give any hints on which Interfaces will be
114                         supported by this modem.
115
116                         Possible values are "hfp", "sap" and "hardware".
