8 Methods dict GetProperties()
10 Returns properties for the service object. See
11 the properties section for available properties.
13 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
15 void SetProperty(string name, variant value)
17 Changes the value of the specified property. Only
18 properties that are listed as read-write are
19 changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
22 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
23 [service].Error.InvalidProperty
25 void ClearProperty(string name)
27 Clears the value of the specified property.
29 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
30 [service].Error.InvalidProperty
34 Connect this service. It will attempt to connect
35 WiFi, WiMAX or Bluetooth services.
37 For Ethernet devices this method can only be used
38 if it has previously been disconnected. Otherwise
39 the plugging of a cable will trigger connecting
40 automatically. If no cable is plugged in this method
43 This method call will only return in case of an
44 error or when the service is fully connected. So
45 setting a longer D-Bus timeout might be a really
48 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
52 Disconnect this service. If the service is not
53 connected an error message will be generated.
55 On Ethernet devices this will disconnect the IP
56 details from the service. It will not magically
57 unplug the cable. When no cable is plugged in this
60 This method can also be used to abort a previous
61 connectiong attempt via the Connect method.
63 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
67 A successfully connected service with Favorite=true
68 can be removed this way. If it is connected, it will
69 be automatically disconnected first.
71 If the service requires a passphrase it will be
72 cleared and forgotten when removing.
74 This is similar to setting the Favorite property
75 to false, but that is currently not supported.
77 In the case a connection attempt failed and the
78 service is in the State=failure, this method can
79 also be used to reset the service.
81 Calling this method on Ethernet devices will cause
82 an error message. It is not possible to remove these
85 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
87 void MoveBefore(object service)
89 If a service has been used before, this allows a
90 reorder of the favorite services.
92 The target service object must be part of this
93 profile. Moving between profiles is not supported.
95 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
97 void MoveAfter(object service)
99 If a service has been used before, this allows a
100 reorder of the favorite services.
102 The target service object must be part of this
103 profile. Moving between profiles is not supported.
105 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
107 void ResetCounters() [experimental]
109 Reset the counter statistics.
111 Possible Errors: None

130 string Error [readonly]
132 The service error status details.
134 When error occur during connection or disconnection
135 the detailed information is represented in this
136 property to help the user interface to present the
137 user with alternate options.
139 This property is only valid when the service is in
140 the "failure" state. Otherwise it might be empty or
143 Current defined error code is "dhcp-failed".

165 If the service type is WiFi, then this property is
166 present and contains the list of security methods
167 or key management settings.

178 This property indicates that an additional login
179 step, like web based authentication, is needed
180 before the connection establishment can proceed.
182 string Passphrase [readwrite]
184 If the service type is WiFi, then this property
185 can be used to store a passphrase.
187 No PropertyChanged signals will be sent for this
188 property. The PassphraseRequired property should
189 be monitored instead.
191 This property might also not always be included
192 since it is protected by a different security policy.
194 boolean PassphraseRequired [readonly]
196 If the service type is WiFi, then this property
197 indicates if a passphrase is required.
199 If a passphrase has been set already or if no
200 passphrase is needed, then this property will
203 uint8 Strength [readonly]
205 Indicates the signal strength of the service. This
206 is a normalized value between 0 and 100.
208 This property will not be present for Ethernet
211 boolean Favorite [readonly]
213 Will be true if a cable is plugged in or the user
214 selected and successfully connected to this service.
216 This value is automatically changed and to revert
217 it back to false the Remove() method needs to be
220 boolean Immutable [readonly]
222 This value will be set to true if the service is
223 configured externally via a configuration file.
225 The only valid operation are Connect() and of
226 course Disconnect(). The Remove() method will
229 boolean AutoConnect [readwrite]
231 If set to true, this service will auto-connect
232 when no other connection is available.

236 For favorite services it is possible to change
237 this value to prevent or permit automatic
240 boolean Roaming [readonly]
242 This property indicates if this service is roaming.

245 indicates connections to a foreign provider when
248 array{string} Nameservers [readonly]
250 The list of currently active nameservers for this
251 service. If the server is not in READY or ONLINE
252 state than this list will be empty.
254 Global nameservers are automatically added to this
255 list. The array represents a sorted list of the
256 current nameservers. The first one has the highest
257 priority and is used by default.
259 When using DHCP this array represents the nameservers
260 provided by the network. In case of manual settings,
261 the ones from Nameservers.Configuration are used.
263 array{string} Nameservers.Configuration [readwrite]
265 The list of manually configured domain name
266 servers. Some 3G networks don't provide correct
267 name servers and this allows for an override.
269 This array is sorted by priority and the first
270 entry in the list represents the nameserver with
271 the highest priority.
273 When using manual configuration and no global
274 nameservers are configured, then it is useful
275 to configure this setting.
277 Changes to the domain name servers can be done
278 at any time. It will not cause a disconnect of
279 the service. However there might be small window
280 where name resolution might fail.

320 of the service. The service will become unavailable
321 until the new configuration has been successfully
326 string Method [readonly]
328 Possible values are "auto", "manual", "6to4"
331 The value "fixed" indicates an IP address
332 that can not be modified. For example
333 cellular networks return fixed information.
334 The value "6to4" is returned if 6to4 tunnel
335 is created by connman. The tunnel can only be
336 created if method was set to "auto" by the
337 user. User cannot set the method to "6to4".
339 string Address [readonly]
341 The current configured IPv6 address.
343 uint8 PrefixLength [readonly]
345 The prefix length of the IPv6 address.
347 string Gateway [readonly]

361 Value "enabled" means that privacy extension is
362 enabled and system prefers to use public
363 addresses over temporary addresses.

391 auto-discover to be tried. In such case if DHCP
392 and WPAD auto-discover methods fails then
393 method will be "direct".
395 In case of "direct" no additional information
396 are provided. For the "manual" method the
