CC3200: Smart Config Technology

Prachi Patil

Part Number: CC3200


Hi All,

I am using CC3200 Smart Config Technology in my Application. I have successfully implemented the Smart Config application given in the SDK.

I am able to see the cc3200 device under device tab. It gets connected to the simplelink.net through the SSID and password which we give before

naming the device. As per the document ,It can store different profiles based on SSIDs and passwords under the 'set up' tab.

  1. Can any one throw some light how this smart config work ? How device switches between profiles and connects to different networks(please explain stepwise),

            since the app does not have 'connect tab'. How to disconnect from existing network and connect to other ?

Also If I run the getting _started_wlan_station example, the SSID and the password are hard coded in common.h

So what SSID and password should I set there or there is no need of SSID and password as these are going to be configured by the app only.

If I run a putty terminal I should be able to see the network name, it is connecting to, since the device is in station mode....please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Does the CC3200 get connected to a network according to the priority we set in the app. How to check CC3200 has disconnected from one network and connected to other.

Thanks ahead in time.

    Hi There,

    There is much more possible on beyond the context of the "connect" tab. This just exists for demonstration purposes. The device is able to be configured to a auto-connect mode using an API function call. In auto-connect mode the device will automatically try to connect to APs represented by profiles stored in memory. A profile can be added through another API function call, an also by the Smartconfig process. Please think about it in this way. Refer to the NWP manual available online and the Doxygen docs in the SDK for API details

    Hi Aaron,

    Thanks for your early reply!

    following points considering the app only :

    If the device get automatically connected to the APs ,in auto-connect mode then If we want to connect to a AP then to another one
    is it possible through the app.

    And How can we know, to which AP the device is connecting to if there are multiple APs present in the memory and specially when we want it to connect to a particular one?

    Is it the SWRU-368a document you are referring to go through ? Or Is there any other resource document where implementation of smart config is explained?

    Best Regards.

    Its not possible to control the connection through the app manually.

    You know which one it has connected to by the data structure passed to the wlan async event function

    Maybe this?:processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php
