Connection Manager
Connection Manager is a process running on the Application Processor (AP), which communicates with the Baseband Processor
(BP) to control the WAN related operations.
It uses the QMI protocol over the SMD interface to communicate with the BP.
The following QMI services in the BP are used by the Connection Manager.
WDS
NAS
VOICE
DMS
LOC
IMS
UIM
It reads and writes the connection profiles which reside in the BP and contain the APN details.
For more details about the QMI services, please refer to the associated Qualcomm documentation.
Although the Connection Manager is required to perform the normal WAN operation, it needs to be disabled sometimes, for
example, during Lab testing. Otherwise, it can interfere with a testing tool or process.
Disabling the Connection Manager
Before running the following command, please make sure that the Admin shell session is opened using adb ( ref , Admin shell
session using adb) or ssh ( ref . Admin shell session using ssh).
1. To temporarily disable Connection Manager, please run the following command on the Admin shell session:
rdb set service.wmmd.enable 0
2. To enable it,
rdb set service.wmmd.enable 1
Controlling a connection profile
Sometimes a user may want to selectively disable or enable a connection profile (i.e. an APN connection) instead of disabling the
Connection Manager completely which would disable the connection profile management in the application level.
The following procedure can be used to manage each connection profile.
Before running this command, please make sure that the Admin shell session is opened using adb ( ref , Admin shell session using
adb) or ssh ( ref . Admin shell session using ssh).
To list a connection profile, please run the following command: ‘x’ can be a value ranged from ‘1’ to ‘6’ (i.e. there are six profiles
available):
rdb dump link.profile.<x>
To disable a connection profile, please run the following command: ‘x’ can be a value ranged from ‘1’ to ‘6’:
rdb set link.profile.<x>.enable 0
To enable a connection profile, please run the following command: ‘x’ can be a value ranged from ‘1’ to ‘6’:
rdb set link.profile.<x>.enable 1
To change the APN of a connection profile, for example, to ‘wlldata, please run the following command: ‘x’ can be a value ranged
from ‘1’ to ‘6’:
rdb set link.profile.<x>.apn wlldata
rdb set link.profile.<x>.writeflag 1
For example, ‘rdb dump link.profile.1’ shows output below:
