00174: tcl command interface to dcomm plugin
Summary: tcl command interface to dcomm plugin
Created: 2009–09–04 10:52
Status: Released
Category: Request
From: frankie
Version: 2.0
Released_In: 2.2
Description:
if the comm plugin had some tcl commands exposed, we could query it for connection state, ask what manager it is connected to… what it thinks its parameters is… maybe even some statistics (dropped packets, errors, etc).
This would allow a few different things. One that comes in mind is a connection indicator in the GUI that would change color once connected and let you check to see exactly which manager you are connected to and what IP of it is.
other commands beyond information i supposed could be added later, such as a command to manually disconnect, or manually reconnect. Or perhaps you could query which managers are available on the network, and manually connect to the one you want. just some thoughts.
