docs/library/network: Move specific network classes to their own file.

All concrete network classes are now moved to their own file (eg
network.WLAN.rst) and deconditionalised (remove ..only:: directives).  This
makes the network documentation the same for all ports.  After this change
there are no more "..only::" directives for different ports, and the only
difference among ports is the very front page of the docs.

.. _network.WLAN:
class WLAN -- control built-in WiFi interfaces
==============================================
This class provides a driver for WiFi network processors. Example usage::
import network
# enable station interface and connect to WiFi access point
nic = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
nic.active(True)
nic.connect('your-ssid', 'your-password')
# now use sockets as usual
Constructors
------------
.. class:: WLAN(interface_id)
Create a WLAN network interface object. Supported interfaces are
``network.STA_IF`` (station aka client, connects to upstream WiFi access
points) and ``network.AP_IF`` (access point, allows other WiFi clients to
connect). Availability of the methods below depends on interface type.
For example, only STA interface may `WLAN.connect()` to an access point.
Methods
-------
.. method:: WLAN.active([is_active])
Activate ("up") or deactivate ("down") network interface, if boolean
argument is passed. Otherwise, query current state if no argument is
provided. Most other methods require active interface.
.. method:: WLAN.connect(ssid=None, password=None, \*, bssid=None)
Connect to the specified wireless network, using the specified password.
If *bssid* is given then the connection will be restricted to the
access-point with that MAC address (the *ssid* must also be specified
in this case).
.. method:: WLAN.disconnect()
Disconnect from the currently connected wireless network.
.. method:: WLAN.scan()
Scan for the available wireless networks.
Scanning is only possible on STA interface. Returns list of tuples with
the information about WiFi access points:
(ssid, bssid, channel, RSSI, authmode, hidden)
*bssid* is hardware address of an access point, in binary form, returned as
bytes object. You can use `ubinascii.hexlify()` to convert it to ASCII form.
There are five values for authmode:
* 0 -- open
* 1 -- WEP
* 2 -- WPA-PSK
* 3 -- WPA2-PSK
* 4 -- WPA/WPA2-PSK
and two for hidden:
* 0 -- visible
* 1 -- hidden
.. method:: WLAN.status([param])
Return the current status of the wireless connection.
When called with no argument the return value describes the network link status.
The possible statuses are defined as constants:
* ``STAT_IDLE`` -- no connection and no activity,
* ``STAT_CONNECTING`` -- connecting in progress,
* ``STAT_WRONG_PASSWORD`` -- failed due to incorrect password,
* ``STAT_NO_AP_FOUND`` -- failed because no access point replied,
* ``STAT_CONNECT_FAIL`` -- failed due to other problems,
* ``STAT_GOT_IP`` -- connection successful.
When called with one argument *param* should be a string naming the status
parameter to retrieve. Supported parameters in WiFI STA mode are: ``'rssi'``.
.. method:: WLAN.isconnected()
In case of STA mode, returns ``True`` if connected to a WiFi access
point and has a valid IP address. In AP mode returns ``True`` when a
station is connected. Returns ``False`` otherwise.
.. method:: WLAN.ifconfig([(ip, subnet, gateway, dns)])
Get/set IP-level network interface parameters: IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and DNS server. When called with no arguments, this method returns
a 4-tuple with the above information. To set the above values, pass a
4-tuple with the required information. For example::
nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))
.. method:: WLAN.config('param')
.. method:: WLAN.config(param=value, ...)
Get or set general network interface parameters. These methods allow to work
with additional parameters beyond standard IP configuration (as dealt with by
`WLAN.ifconfig()`). These include network-specific and hardware-specific
parameters. For setting parameters, keyword argument syntax should be used,
multiple parameters can be set at once. For querying, parameters name should
be quoted as a string, and only one parameter can be queries at time::
# Set WiFi access point name (formally known as ESSID) and WiFi channel
ap.config(essid='My AP', channel=11)
# Query params one by one
print(ap.config('essid'))
print(ap.config('channel'))
Following are commonly supported parameters (availability of a specific parameter
depends on network technology type, driver, and `MicroPython port`).
============= ===========
Parameter Description
============= ===========
mac MAC address (bytes)
essid WiFi access point name (string)
channel WiFi channel (integer)
hidden Whether ESSID is hidden (boolean)
authmode Authentication mode supported (enumeration, see module constants)
password Access password (string)
dhcp_hostname The DHCP hostname to use

.. _network.WLANWiPy:
class WLANWiPy -- WiPy specific WiFi control
============================================
.. note::
This class is a non-standard WLAN implementation for the WiPy.
It is available simply as ``network.WLAN`` on the WiPy but is named in the
documentation below as ``network.WLANWiPy`` to distinguish it from the
more general :ref:`network.WLAN <network.WLAN>` class.
This class provides a driver for the WiFi network processor in the WiPy. Example usage::
import network
import time
# setup as a station
wlan = network.WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
wlan.connect('your-ssid', auth=(WLAN.WPA2, 'your-key'))
while not wlan.isconnected():
time.sleep_ms(50)
print(wlan.ifconfig())
# now use socket as usual
...
Constructors
------------
.. class:: WLANWiPy(id=0, ...)
Create a WLAN object, and optionally configure it. See `init()` for params of configuration.
.. note::
The ``WLAN`` constructor is special in the sense that if no arguments besides the id are given,
it will return the already existing ``WLAN`` instance without re-configuring it. This is
because ``WLAN`` is a system feature of the WiPy. If the already existing instance is not
initialized it will do the same as the other constructors an will initialize it with default
values.
Methods
-------
.. method:: WLANWiPy.init(mode, \*, ssid, auth, channel, antenna)
Set or get the WiFi network processor configuration.
Arguments are:
- *mode* can be either ``WLAN.STA`` or ``WLAN.AP``.
- *ssid* is a string with the ssid name. Only needed when mode is ``WLAN.AP``.
- *auth* is a tuple with (sec, key). Security can be ``None``, ``WLAN.WEP``,
``WLAN.WPA`` or ``WLAN.WPA2``. The key is a string with the network password.
If ``sec`` is ``WLAN.WEP`` the key must be a string representing hexadecimal
values (e.g. 'ABC1DE45BF'). Only needed when mode is ``WLAN.AP``.
- *channel* a number in the range 1-11. Only needed when mode is ``WLAN.AP``.
- *antenna* selects between the internal and the external antenna. Can be either
``WLAN.INT_ANT`` or ``WLAN.EXT_ANT``.
For example, you can do::
# create and configure as an access point
wlan.init(mode=WLAN.AP, ssid='wipy-wlan', auth=(WLAN.WPA2,'www.wipy.io'), channel=7, antenna=WLAN.INT_ANT)
or::
# configure as an station
wlan.init(mode=WLAN.STA)
.. method:: WLANWiPy.connect(ssid, \*, auth=None, bssid=None, timeout=None)
Connect to a WiFi access point using the given SSID, and other security
parameters.
- *auth* is a tuple with (sec, key). Security can be ``None``, ``WLAN.WEP``,
``WLAN.WPA`` or ``WLAN.WPA2``. The key is a string with the network password.
If ``sec`` is ``WLAN.WEP`` the key must be a string representing hexadecimal
values (e.g. 'ABC1DE45BF').
- *bssid* is the MAC address of the AP to connect to. Useful when there are several
APs with the same ssid.
- *timeout* is the maximum time in milliseconds to wait for the connection to succeed.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.scan()
Performs a network scan and returns a list of named tuples with (ssid, bssid, sec, channel, rssi).
Note that channel is always ``None`` since this info is not provided by the WiPy.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.disconnect()
Disconnect from the WiFi access point.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.isconnected()
In case of STA mode, returns ``True`` if connected to a WiFi access point and has a valid IP address.
In AP mode returns ``True`` when a station is connected, ``False`` otherwise.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.ifconfig(if_id=0, config=['dhcp' or configtuple])
With no parameters given returns a 4-tuple of *(ip, subnet_mask, gateway, DNS_server)*.
if ``'dhcp'`` is passed as a parameter then the DHCP client is enabled and the IP params
are negotiated with the AP.
If the 4-tuple config is given then a static IP is configured. For instance::
wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))
.. method:: WLANWiPy.mode([mode])
Get or set the WLAN mode.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.ssid([ssid])
Get or set the SSID when in AP mode.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.auth([auth])
Get or set the authentication type when in AP mode.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.channel([channel])
Get or set the channel (only applicable in AP mode).
.. method:: WLANWiPy.antenna([antenna])
Get or set the antenna type (external or internal).
.. method:: WLANWiPy.mac([mac_addr])
Get or set a 6-byte long bytes object with the MAC address.
.. method:: WLANWiPy.irq(\*, handler, wake)
Create a callback to be triggered when a WLAN event occurs during ``machine.SLEEP``
mode. Events are triggered by socket activity or by WLAN connection/disconnection.
- *handler* is the function that gets called when the IRQ is triggered.
- *wake* must be ``machine.SLEEP``.
Returns an IRQ object.

This class provides a driver for WiFi network processor in the ESP8266. Example usage::
import network
# enable station interface and connect to WiFi access point
nic = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
nic.active(True)
nic.connect('your-ssid', 'your-password')
# now use sockets as usual
Constructors
------------
.. class:: WLAN(interface_id)
Create a WLAN network interface object. Supported interfaces are
``network.STA_IF`` (station aka client, connects to upstream WiFi access
points) and ``network.AP_IF`` (access point, allows other WiFi clients to
connect). Availability of the methods below depends on interface type.
For example, only STA interface may `connect()` to an access point.
Methods
-------
.. method:: wlan.active([is_active])
Activate ("up") or deactivate ("down") network interface, if boolean
argument is passed. Otherwise, query current state if no argument is
provided. Most other methods require active interface.
.. method:: wlan.connect(ssid=None, password=None, \*, bssid=None)
Connect to the specified wireless network, using the specified password.
If *bssid* is given then the connection will be restricted to the
access-point with that MAC address (the *ssid* must also be specified
in this case).
.. method:: wlan.disconnect()
Disconnect from the currently connected wireless network.
.. method:: wlan.scan()
Scan for the available wireless networks.
Scanning is only possible on STA interface. Returns list of tuples with
the information about WiFi access points:
(ssid, bssid, channel, RSSI, authmode, hidden)
*bssid* is hardware address of an access point, in binary form, returned as
bytes object. You can use `ubinascii.hexlify()` to convert it to ASCII form.
There are five values for authmode:
* 0 -- open
* 1 -- WEP
* 2 -- WPA-PSK
* 3 -- WPA2-PSK
* 4 -- WPA/WPA2-PSK
and two for hidden:
* 0 -- visible
* 1 -- hidden
.. method:: wlan.status([param])
Return the current status of the wireless connection.
When called with no argument the return value describes the network link status.
The possible statuses are defined as constants:
* ``STAT_IDLE`` -- no connection and no activity,
* ``STAT_CONNECTING`` -- connecting in progress,
* ``STAT_WRONG_PASSWORD`` -- failed due to incorrect password,
* ``STAT_NO_AP_FOUND`` -- failed because no access point replied,
* ``STAT_CONNECT_FAIL`` -- failed due to other problems,
* ``STAT_GOT_IP`` -- connection successful.
When called with one argument *param* should be a string naming the status
parameter to retrieve. Supported parameters in WiFI STA mode are: ``'rssi'``.
.. method:: wlan.isconnected()
In case of STA mode, returns ``True`` if connected to a WiFi access
point and has a valid IP address. In AP mode returns ``True`` when a
station is connected. Returns ``False`` otherwise.
.. method:: wlan.ifconfig([(ip, subnet, gateway, dns)])
Get/set IP-level network interface parameters: IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and DNS server. When called with no arguments, this method returns
a 4-tuple with the above information. To set the above values, pass a
4-tuple with the required information. For example::
nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))
.. method:: wlan.config('param')
.. method:: wlan.config(param=value, ...)
Get or set general network interface parameters. These methods allow to work
with additional parameters beyond standard IP configuration (as dealt with by
`wlan.ifconfig()`). These include network-specific and hardware-specific
parameters. For setting parameters, keyword argument syntax should be used,
multiple parameters can be set at once. For querying, parameters name should
be quoted as a string, and only one parameter can be queries at time::
# Set WiFi access point name (formally known as ESSID) and WiFi channel
ap.config(essid='My AP', channel=11)
# Query params one by one
print(ap.config('essid'))
print(ap.config('channel'))
Following are commonly supported parameters (availability of a specific parameter
depends on network technology type, driver, and `MicroPython port`).

- *auth* is a tuple with (sec, key). Security can be ``None``, ``WLAN.WEP``,
``WLAN.WPA`` or ``WLAN.WPA2``. The key is a string with the network password.
If ``sec`` is ``WLAN.WEP`` the key must be a string representing hexadecimal
values (e.g. 'ABC1DE45BF'). Only needed when mode is ``WLAN.AP``.
- *channel* a number in the range 1-11. Only needed when mode is ``WLAN.AP``.
- *antenna* selects between the internal and the external antenna. Can be either
``WLAN.INT_ANT`` or ``WLAN.EXT_ANT``.
For example, you can do::
# create and configure as an access point
wlan.init(mode=WLAN.AP, ssid='wipy-wlan', auth=(WLAN.WPA2,'www.wipy.io'), channel=7, antenna=WLAN.INT_ANT)
or::
# configure as an station
wlan.init(mode=WLAN.STA)
.. method:: wlan.connect(ssid, \*, auth=None, bssid=None, timeout=None)
Connect to a WiFi access point using the given SSID, and other security
parameters.
- *auth* is a tuple with (sec, key). Security can be ``None``, ``WLAN.WEP``,
``WLAN.WPA`` or ``WLAN.WPA2``. The key is a string with the network password.
If ``sec`` is ``WLAN.WEP`` the key must be a string representing hexadecimal
values (e.g. 'ABC1DE45BF').
- *bssid* is the MAC address of the AP to connect to. Useful when there are several
APs with the same ssid.
- *timeout* is the maximum time in milliseconds to wait for the connection to succeed.
.. method:: wlan.scan()
Performs a network scan and returns a list of named tuples with (ssid, bssid, sec, channel, rssi).
Note that channel is always ``None`` since this info is not provided by the WiPy.
.. method:: wlan.disconnect()
Disconnect from the WiFi access point.
.. method:: wlan.isconnected()
In case of STA mode, returns ``True`` if connected to a WiFi access point and has a valid IP address.
In AP mode returns ``True`` when a station is connected, ``False`` otherwise.
.. method:: wlan.ifconfig(if_id=0, config=['dhcp' or configtuple])
With no parameters given returns a 4-tuple of *(ip, subnet_mask, gateway, DNS_server)*.
if ``'dhcp'`` is passed as a parameter then the DHCP client is enabled and the IP params
are negotiated with the AP.
If the 4-tuple config is given then a static IP is configured. For instance::
wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))
.. method:: wlan.mode([mode])
Get or set the WLAN mode.
.. method:: wlan.ssid([ssid])
Get or set the SSID when in AP mode.
.. method:: wlan.auth([auth])
Get or set the authentication type when in AP mode.
.. method:: wlan.channel([channel])
Get or set the channel (only applicable in AP mode).
.. method:: wlan.antenna([antenna])
Get or set the antenna type (external or internal).
.. method:: wlan.mac([mac_addr])
Get or set a 6-byte long bytes object with the MAC address.
.. method:: wlan.irq(\*, handler, wake)
Create a callback to be triggered when a WLAN event occurs during ``machine.SLEEP``
mode. Events are triggered by socket activity or by WLAN connection/disconnection.
- *handler* is the function that gets called when the IRQ is triggered.
- *wake* must be ``machine.SLEEP``.
Returns an IRQ object.
