Automation of Access Point Selection

[Rama1962]

Greetings All !

Our application is opening Rsession Object and sending data via GPRS. If GPRS is not available , the phone ( E 62 ) shows a list of available access points and the user is expected to select the relevant access point manually. We want to automate the selection of access points i.e. Select Access Point 2 , else select Access Point 3 and so on . Can any kind soul help ?

Search for access point in the Wiki. They are often called as Internet Access Points, and abbreviated to IAP, so you should also search for IAP.

Try this,

CCommsDbConnectionPrefTableView::TCommDbIapConnectionPref pref;

commDBView->ReadConnectionPreferenceL(pref);
TUint32 iapID = pref.iBearer.iIapId;
TCommDbConnPref connectPref;

connectPref.SetDialogPreference(ECommDbDialogPrefDoNotPrompt);
connectPref.SetDirection(ECommDbConnectionDirectionUnknown);
connectPref.SetBearerSet(ECommDbBearerGPRS);
connectPref.SetIapId(iapID);

i am using following code

User::LeaveIfError(iSocketServ.Connect());
User::LeaveIfError(iConnection.Open(iSocketServ));

// open the IAP communications database 
CCommsDatabase* commDB = CCommsDatabase::NewL(EDatabaseTypeIAP);
CleanupStack::PushL(commDB);

// initialize a view 
CCommsDbConnectionPrefTableView* commDBView = 
commDB->OpenConnectionPrefTableInRankOrderLC(ECommDbConnectionDirectionUnknown);

// go to the first record 

User::LeaveIfError(commDBView->GotoFirstRecord());
// Declare a prefTableView Object.
CCommsDbConnectionPrefTableView::TCommDbIapConnectionPref pref;

// read the connection preferences 
commDBView->ReadConnectionPreferenceL(pref);
TUint32 iapID = pref.iBearer.iIapId; 

// pop and destroy the IAP View 
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(commDBView);

// pop and destroy the database object
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(commDB);

// Now we have the iap Id. Use it to connect for the connection.
// Create a connection preference variable.
TCommDbConnPref connectPref;

// setup preferences 
connectPref.SetDialogPreference(ECommDbDialogPrefDoNotPrompt);
connectPref.SetDirection(ECommDbConnectionDirectionUnknown);
connectPref.SetBearerSet(ECommDbBearerGPRS);
//Sets the CommDb ID of the IAP to use for this connection
connectPref.SetIapId(iapID);

User::LeaveIfError(iConnection.Start(connectPref));

i.e. Opening Connection PrefTable in RankOrder and then selecting the first record. here i want to loop around and select right iap. is it possible? if yes how? please help

I am not sure what you are going to achieve with automatic IAP selection.It will be problematic if you try to connect to different IAP's based on success or failure of previous IAP.I guess the code you are using prioterises your IAP. i.e. if you select same IAP for several times on device,after few iterations it will not ask for IAP and connect to that IAP by default if it succeeds every time,if it fails it will ask.
