View source for Wireless-Wired Interoperability in CoolPlug

Starting from FW version 0.1.8, CoolPlug can work simultaneously or separately in Wired and/or Wireless modes of connection to CooLinkHub or other devices. For Wireless connection CoolPlug has to be equipped with Wireless Module. Wired connection is available in all CoolPlugs (via PBUS terminals).<br>

Example of the default lines configuration for CoolPlug ME
{{Terminal|
>'''line'''<br>
L1: M1M2 Master U00/G00 Not Connected<br>
Tx:0/0 Rx:0/0 TO:0/0 CS:0/0 Col:0/0 NAK:0/0<br>
L2: '''PB''' Address:0xDB(219) 9600_8N1<br>
Tx:29/29 Rx:56/56 TO:0/0 CS:0/0 Col:0/0 NAK:0/0<br>
L3: Unused<br>
Tx:0/0 Rx:0/0 TO:0/0 CS:0/0 Col:0/0 NAK:0/0<br>
L4: MAC A:Master U00/G00 Not Connected NVDB<br>
Tx:6/6 Rx:0/0 TO:0/0 CS:0/0 Col:0/0 NAK:0/0<br>
L5: '''PBWi''' myid:006<br>
Tx:11/11 Rx:13/13 TO:0/0 CS:0/0 Col:0/0 NAK:0/0<br>
OK}}

Line L2 is configured as PBUS - Wired, Line L5 is configured as PBWi - Wireless.<br>
<br>
When both Wired and Wireless lines are configured the only limitation is that Wired line can not support ASCII_IF commands. Attempt to run '''plug''' command on CooLinkHub side via Wired connection will be terminated with the below message:
{{Terminal|
>plug L3.219 line<br>
PBWi is running, can't process ASCII_IF
OK}}<br>
To work it around Wireless communication has to be (temporary) disabled. This can be done in two ways.
*Via PBUS:<br>
Disable
{{Terminal|
>hwr L3 219 3 '''0'''<br>
ModBus Error:0}}
Enable
{{Terminal|
>hwr L3 219 3 '''1'''<br>
ModBus Error:0}}<br>
* Toggling Wireless communication with button.<br>This is done with '''One Short''' followed by '''One Long''' button presses.

In both cases CoolPlug will automatically restart after enabling/disabling Wireless communication.
