How to change domain name (mysimplelink.net) and SSID

I have some additional information for you, but not the whole story.

If you change the Device Name to your companyname, you can on Apple devices (iOS and Macintosh) use http://companyname.local

Unfortunately this does not work on Windows, as this is mDNS which is making this work, and Windows does not support mDNS out of the box. You could recommend custom installs Bonjour for Windows, then they will be able to use the above URL.

Also, there is a similar service for Windows that you could implement in your code, but the name escapes me for now!

The only other advice I can give, is that the IP address will always be 192.168.1.1, so you can suggest the customer types in http://192.168.1.1 

As for changing http://mysimplelink.net, I am not sure how/if you can.

Thanks Glenn.

Thanks Leo, that works great!

Thank you very much Leo.

Thanks Vipin and Glenn my pleasure.

Thank you guys.

I was struck with this problem for a long time.

This post helped a lot.

Thank you so much Glenn,

I will go through the library and get back.

Warm regards,

Hello Glenn,

In the httpserver code, i used the code given by you to change the SSID name. I copied the code in the ConnectToNetwork() function.

Although the SSID name of CC3200 changes to CompanyNameAP, my computer rapidly connects-disconnects to the CC3200.

The connection icon in the right side of task bar shows rapid fluctuations from red-cross icon (indicating disconnect) to blinking icon (indicating connection).

This happens even after i restart the CC3200 device.

Why does this happen ??

Can you help me where exactly should i change the SSID name in the httpserver code ??

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Abhishek.

Hi Abhishek,

Check out the following post for details on using SimpleLink APIs from within the HTTP Callbacks.

It is quite possible you are experiencing issues due to this. The post includes code to work around the issue, and is the recommend way to work with SimpleLink APIs from with the HTTP Callback.

Hi Glenn,

I am able to change the SSID but not the URL. Below is the piece of code, where I am making changes.

sl_Start(0,0,0);
unsigned char ucSSID_R[] = "MY_WIFI_DEVICE";
lRetVal = sl_WlanSet(SL_WLAN_CFG_AP_ID,
WLAN_AP_OPT_SSID, 14, (unsigned char *)ucSSID_R);

sl_Stop(SL_STOP_TIMEOUT);
//Connect to Network

lRetVal = sl_Start(0,0,0);

unsigned char str1[32];
unsigned char str[32] = "rajeshreddy.cdr";
unsigned char len = strlen((const char *)str);
lRetVal = sl_NetAppSet(SL_NET_APP_DEVICE_CONFIG_ID, NETAPP_SET_GET_DEV_CONF_OPT_DOMAIN_NAME,
len, (unsigned char*)str);

lRetVal = sl_NetAppGet(SL_NET_APP_DEVICE_CONFIG_ID, NETAPP_SET_GET_DNS_OPT_DOMAIN_NAME,
&len, (unsigned char *)str1);

lRetVal = sl_NetAppStop(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID);

I can access the page using 192.168.1.1, but not with the domain name. I tried both "rajeshreddy.cdr" and "mysimplelink.net" after this code change, but didn't succeed.

Before this code modification, I was able to access the page using the url "mysimplelink.net".

Please let me know what changes are required further in the code.

Thanks,

Rajesh

Hi,

I want to change  domain name and AP-mode SSID name in httpsever example. I made changes in code like this

//****************************************************************************
long ConnectToNetwork()
{
    char ucAPSSID[32]="HOPE";
    unsigned short len, config_opt;
    long lRetVal = -1;
    long retVal;
    unsigned char str[32] = "domainname.net";
    unsigned char length = strlen((const char *)str);

    // staring simplelink
    g_uiSimplelinkRole =  sl_Start(NULL,NULL,NULL);

    // Device is not in STA mode and Force AP Jumper is not Connected
    //- Switch to STA mode
    if(g_uiSimplelinkRole != ROLE_STA && g_uiDeviceModeConfig == ROLE_STA )
    {
        //Switch to STA Mode
        lRetVal = sl_WlanSetMode(ROLE_STA);
        ASSERT_ON_ERROR(lRetVal);

        lRetVal = sl_Stop(SL_STOP_TIMEOUT);

        g_usMCNetworkUstate = 0;
        g_uiSimplelinkRole =  sl_Start(NULL,NULL,NULL);
    }

    //Device is not in AP mode and Force AP Jumper is Connected -
    //Switch to AP mode
    if(g_uiSimplelinkRole != ROLE_AP && g_uiDeviceModeConfig == ROLE_AP )
    {
         //Switch to AP Mode
        lRetVal = sl_WlanSetMode(ROLE_AP);
        ASSERT_ON_ERROR(lRetVal);

        lRetVal = sl_Stop(SL_STOP_TIMEOUT);

        g_usMCNetworkUstate = 0;
        g_uiSimplelinkRole =  sl_Start(NULL,NULL,NULL);
    }

    //No Mode Change Required
    if(g_uiSimplelinkRole == ROLE_AP)
    {
       //waiting for the AP to acquire IP address from Internal DHCP Server
       while(!IS_IP_ACQUIRED(g_ulStatus))
       {

       }

       //Stop Internal HTTP Server
       lRetVal = sl_NetAppStop(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID);
       ASSERT_ON_ERROR( lRetVal);

       //Start Internal HTTP Server
       lRetVal = sl_NetAppStart(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID);
       ASSERT_ON_ERROR( lRetVal);


       retVal = sl_NetAppSet(SL_NET_APP_DEVICE_CONFIG_ID, NETAPP_SET_GET_DEV_CONF_OPT_DOMAIN_NAME,length, (unsigned char*)str);


       char iCount=0;
       //Read the AP SSID
       memset(ucAPSSID,'\0',AP_SSID_LEN_MAX);
       len = AP_SSID_LEN_MAX;
       config_opt = WLAN_AP_OPT_SSID;
       lRetVal = sl_WlanGet(SL_WLAN_CFG_AP_ID, &config_opt , &len,
                                              (unsigned char*) ucAPSSID);




       lRetVal= sl_WlanSet(SL_WLAN_CFG_AP_ID, WLAN_AP_OPT_SSID, len,(unsigned char*)ucAPSSID);



        ASSERT_ON_ERROR(lRetVal);

       Report("\n\rDevice is in AP Mode, Please Connect to AP [%s] and"
          "type [mysimplelink.net] in the browser \n\r",ucAPSSID);

       //Blink LED 3 times to Indicate AP Mode
       for(iCount=0;iCount<3;iCount++)
       {
           //Turn RED LED On
           GPIO_IF_LedOn(MCU_RED_LED_GPIO);
           osi_Sleep(400);

           //Turn RED LED Off
           GPIO_IF_LedOff(MCU_RED_LED_GPIO);
           osi_Sleep(400);
       }

    }

I flashed the httpserver.ucf and then flashed /run the httpserver .bin. But it still shows the default AP-SSID name and domain name. Did I include the code to change SSID name and domain name at a correct place? if not where these part of code should be included?

Thanks.
