ConnMan is a command-line network manager designed for use with embedded devices and fast resolve times.

Although AGL Settings application provides a GUI for connecting to WiFi networks, in certain cases it could be necessary to do it from the command-line with ConnMan.

Networking configuration

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network

Follow the steps below to connect to a secured Wi-Fi network: * Enter connman CLI

  $ connmanctl

* Enable Wi-Fi (only if it is not enabled)

  connmanctl> technologies
  connmanctl> enable wifi

* Scan for W-Fi networks:

  connmanctl> scan wifi

* List the found and available Wi-Fi networks (write down the wireless network service with format like wifi_<MAC_ADDR>_<SSID_HEX>_managed_psk:

  connmanctl> services

* Turn on agent and connect to a Wi-Fi network

  connmanctl> agent on
  connmanctl> connect wifi_<MAC_ADDR>_<SSID_HEX>_managed_psk

* If the network is secured the agent will prompt you to enter a password:

  Agent RequestInput wifi_<MAC_ADDR>_<SSID_HEX>_managed_psk
  Passphrase = [ Type=psk, Requirement=mandatory ]
  Passphrase?

Setting up a static IP address

Follow the steps below to configure a static IP address: * Retrieve the interface you want to modify (the format is ethernet_<MAC_ADDR>_cable):

  $ connmanctl services

* Manually configure IP:

  $ connmanctl config <service> --ipv4 manual  <ip address> <netmask> <gateway>
