13 Concurrent Mode
Concurrent mode is the mechanism in which Onebox-Mobile can be operated in AP and Client modes simultaneously.User
can create a virtual interface as client mode on one interface and as AP mode on other interface.
Below are the Steps to operate the device in concurrent Mode.
Ensure that common_insert.sh present in the release folder has valid driver mode and coexistence mode.
DRIVER_MODE=1 (End to End mode)
COEX_MODE = 3 (AP + Station -on multiple vaps)
13.1 Installation Procedure
13.1.1 Creating VAP in Client Mode
Insert the driver using script wlan_insert.sh which is present in following folder.
cd /home/rsi/release
$ sh wlan_insert.sh
Create VAP in client mode using command.
$. /onebox_util rpine0 create_vap <vap name> sta sw_bmiss
For example: ./onebox_util rpine0 create_vap wifi0 sta sw_bmiss
After issuing the above command virtual interface with the specified interface name “wifi0” will be created. User can view
the list of interfaces using the following command.
ifconfig -a
Make sure the appropriate settings are present in the sta_settings.conf file. Please refer the section 4.4.1 for the
configuration details for different security modes.
After the configuration settings run the supplicant using the following command
$. /wpa_supplicant –i <vap_name> –Dbsd –c sta_settings.conf –ddddt >log&
Ex:./wpa_supplicant –i wifi0 –Dbsd –c sta_settings.conf –ddddt >log&
For example: If user creates the virtual interface with the name “wifi0” in client mode then the
supplicant should be run on that interface only
