IOBOX API USAGE GUIDE

This document provides an overview and usage instructions for the APIs available in iobox_api.h.

1. Api name and features

• Scan

  std::vector<std::string> scanNetworkDevicesMulticast(int timeout);

  API need to be passed a timeout in second unit. The API will return a list of IPs as a vector string.

• Connect

  bool connectToIobox(const std::string& ip, int port, const std::string& username, const std::string& password);

  Connect to a specific IP device from list of IPs above. Default port is 502 Username and password are param to anthenticate device

• Disconnect

  bool disconnectToIobox(const std::string& ip);

  Disconnect to a specific IP device that is connected before

• Get value of channel

  std::string getValueDataStringIoboxFromChannelName(const std::string& ip, const std::string& channelName);

  Get value of specific channel name from a IP device that is connected before. List of channel name is obtained from getDeviceChannelNames api

• Set value of channel

  bool setValueDataStringIoboxFromChannelName(const std::string& ip, const std::string& channelName, const std::string& value);

  Set a value of specific channel name from a IP device that is connected before. List of channel name is included in channel_name array.

• Other api bool setAuthenticationIobox(const std::string& ip, const std::string& username, const std::string& password); This api to change username and password, this can be only called after a connection to device

  bool resetAuthenticationIobox(const std::string& ip, const std::string& token); This api to reset username and password to default

  bool resetIobox(const std::string& ip, const std::string& token); This api to restart device token is generated default by using generateToken api

2. How to using example test in main.cpp

You need build this project before run by using g++ compiler

g++ .\*.cpp .\*.c -lws2_32 -o main.exe

Then you need only running main.exe.

Start application, it will show

Enter command followed by Enter: exit, scan, setip, connect, channels, disconnect, show, get, set, restart, setauthen, resetauthen

• You type scan, it will scan all device iobox on local network then it will list them on terminal attach their IP address if they is found.
• You type channels to get name of all of channels that device supports
• Then type setip to setup IP of iobox you need to connect Then you will be required to input of specific IP address and you need type IP you want.
• Next you type connect to connect to this IP device
• Then you can use get or set command to continue get or set value to any channel.
• You can use setauthen and resetauthen to change usename/password to connect device, and reset usename/password to default (now default in device is: admin/1234)
• You can use restart to restart devcie
