NAME

Net::Radio::oFono::NetworkRegistration - provide NetworkRegistration interface for Modem objects

SYNOPSIS

  my $oFono = Net::Location::oFono->new();
  my @modems = Net::Location::oFono->get_modems();
  # show default network information
  foreach my $modem_path (@modems) {
    my $netreg = Net::Location::oFono->get_modem_interface($modem_path, "NetworkRegistration");
    say "Status: ", $netreg->GetProperty("Status"),
        "Name: ", $netreg->GetProperty("Name"),
        "LocationAreaCode: ", $netreg->GetProperty("LocationAreaCode"),
        "CellId: ", $netreg->GetProperty("CellId"),
        "Technology: ", $netreg->GetProperty("Technology"),
        "MobileCountryCode: ", $netreg->GetProperty("MobileCountryCode"),
        "MobileNetworkCode: ", $netreg->GetProperty("MobileNetworkCode");
  }

  # show each available network
  foreach my $modem_path (@modems) {
    my $netreg = Net::Location::oFono->get_modem_interface($modem_path, "NetworkRegistration");
    my %operators = $netreg->GetOperators();
    foreach my $oper_path (keys %operators) {
      my $oper = $netreg->GetOperator($oper_path);
      say "Status: ", $oper->GetProperty("Status"),
          "Name: ", $oper->GetProperty("Name"),
          "MobileCountryCode: ", $oper->GetProperty("MobileCountryCode"),
          "MobileNetworkCode: ", $oper->GetProperty("MobileNetworkCode"),
          "Technologies: ", join("/", $oper->GetProperty("Technologies"));
    }
  }

INHERITANCE

  Net::Radio::oFono::NetworkRegistration
  ISA Net::Radio::oFono::Modem
    ISA Net::Radio::oFono::Helpers::EventMgr
    DOES Net::Radio::oFono::Roles::RemoteObj
    DOES Net::Radio::oFono::Roles::Manager

METHODS

See ofono/doc/network-api.txt for valid properties and detailed action description and possible errors.

_init($obj_path)

GetOperators(;$force)

Retrieve array of operator object and properties.

This method can be used to retrieve the current operator list. This is either an empty list (when not registered to any network) or a list with one or more operators (when registered).

This list will also return (by oFono) cached values of previously seen networks. Manual updates to list can only be done via the Scan() method call.

Set the $force parameter to a true value when no D-Bus main loop is running and signal handling might be incomplete.

Returns a hash with object paths of the operators as key and their current properties as hash reference as value.

This method is injected by Net::Radio::oFono::Roles::Manager as an alias for Net::Radio::oFono::Roles::Manager/GetObjects(;$force).

GetOperator($obj_path;$force)

Returns an instance of the specified Net::Radio::oFono::NetworkOperator.

Set the $force parameter to a true value when no D-Bus main loop is running and signal handling might be incomplete.

This method is injected by Net::Radio::oFono::Roles::Manager as an alias for Net::Radio::oFono::Roles::Manager/GetObject($object_path;$force).

Register()

Attempts to register to the default network. The default network is normally selected by the settings from the SIM card.

To register into another network, invoke Register() on a Net::Radio::oFono::NetworkOperator instance returned via GetOperators().

Scan()

Runs a network operator scan to discover the currently available operators. This operation can take several seconds, and up to several minutes on some modems. This can be used to help the user determine what is the best operator to use if forced to roam on a foreign network.

Where can I go for help with a concrete version?

Bugs and feature requests are accepted against the latest version only. To get patches for earlier versions, you need to get an agreement with a developer of your choice - who may or not report the issue and a suggested fix upstream (depends on the license you have chosen).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

At first the guys from the oFono-Team shall be named: Marcel Holtmann and Denis Kenzior, the maintainers and all the people named in ofono/AUTHORS. Without their effort, there would no need for a Net::Radio::oFono module.

Further, Peter "ribasushi" Rabbitson helped a lot by providing hints and support how to make this API accessor a valuable CPAN module.
