.allowedinterfaces Property

Function:	For the currently selected socket (selection is made through sock.num), defines the list of network interfaces on which this socket will accept incoming connections.
Type:	String
Value Range:	Platform-specific. Refer to your device's platform documentation (for example, the EM1000's is here).
See Also:	Accepting Incoming Connections

Details

Interfaces that can be on the list are: "NET" (Ethernet), "WLN" (Wi-Fi), "PPP," and "PPPoE." The list of allowed interfaces is comma-delimited (e.g, "WLN,NET").

Note that reading back the value of this property will return the same list, but not necessarily in the same order. For example, the application may write "WLN,NET" into this property, yet read "NET,WLN" back. Unsupported interface names will be dropped from the list automatically.

The list of interfaces supported by your platform can be checked through the sock.availableinterfaces read-only property. Only interfaces from this list can be specified as "allowed." Trying to allow an unsupported interface will not work.

The socket will not accept a connection on an interface that is not on the sock.allowedinterfaces list, even if all other connection parameters such as protocol, port, etc. are correct.
