Procrastination Functions

Procrastinations functions wait for specific events to occur or fail to occur.

WaitForAssoc

signed WaitForAssoc(plc); 
struct plc * plc;
 

Poll a powerline device using VS_NW_INFO messages until the device forms or joins a network. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure plc. It calls either WaitForAssoc1 or WaitForAssoc2 to procrastinate based on the hardwareID member of structure plc. The function is declared in plc.h and defined in file WaitForAssoc.c. Struct plc is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c.

WaitForAssoc1

signed WaitForAssoc1(plc); 
struct plc * plc;
 

Poll a 200mbs powerline device using VS_NW_INFO version 0 messages until the device joins or forms a network. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure plc. The function is declared in file plc.h and defined in file WaitForAssoc1.c. Struct plc is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c.

WaitForAssoc2

signed WaitForAssoc2(plc); 
struct plc * plc;
 

Poll a 1000mbs powerline device using VS_NW_INFO version 1 messages until the device joins or forms a network. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure plc. Structure plc is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c. The function is declared in file plc.h and defined in file WaitForAssoc2.c.

WaitForReset

signed WaitForReset(plc); 
struct plc * plc;
 

Poll a powerline device using VS_SW_VER messages until the device stops responding. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure plc. Structure plc is declared in file plc.h and define in file plc.c. The function is declared in plc.h and defined in file WaitForReset.c.

WaitForStart

signed WaitForStart(plc,  
 firmware,  
 length); 
struct plc * plc;
char firmware;
size_t length;
 

Poll a powerline device using VS_SW_VER messages until the device responds. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure plc. Update the hardwareID member of the plc structure. Return the firmware revision string contained in the confirmation message. Structure plc is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c. The function is declared in file plc.h and defined in file WaitForStart.c.
