If the network_interface is specified as an integer, the interface must currently exist on the player; otherwise, the object-creation function will return Invalid. Conversely, specifying the network_interface as a string allows you to create a roNetworkConfiguration instance for an interface that is not currently present on the player.

The network interface can be configured as a VLAN using the following string format: "[parent_interface].[vlan_id]" (e.g "eth0.42"). Once the VLAN interface(s) are configured, they must be enabled on the parent network interface (e.g. "eth0") using the SetVlanIds() method. VLAN interfaces use DHCP by default. They are supported on Series 4 (XTx44, XDx34, HDx24, LS424) and Series 3 (XTx43, XDx33, HDx23, LS423, HO523) players only.

FlushDNSCache()

Flushes the player's DNS cache. This method is available in BrightSign OS 8.3.32 and later releases. Note that certain objects (such as roUrlTransfer) may continue to use the old results for a short period of time after the OS 8.3.32 release.

To use this method:

Code Block
languagejs
nc = CreateObject("roNetworkConfiguration", 0)
if not nc.FlushDNSCache() then
  print "Flush DNS cache failed: "; nc.GetFailureReason()
end if

ScanWiFi may fail if a previous scan has not completed, or a background scan is in progress. This potential failure should be handled in the script, and the script should retry ScanWifi if it does fail.

Network Authentication

BrightSign players support most commonly used wireless encryption formats: WEP (64 & 128), WPA (TKIP), and WPA2 (AES).
