Step S405, reading network card configuration items of each network card to be installed in the alternative network card set. Please refer to step S103 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 in detail, which is not described herein.
Step S406, based on the network card configuration item, determining a target network card to be installed from the alternative network card set, and installing the target network card to be installed to the intelligent gateway.
Specifically, the network card configuration item includes: general configuration and special configuration: the general configuration includes: network card enabling configuration items, priority configuration items and keep-alive detection configuration items; the special configuration is the special configuration of the network card itself to be installed.
In an example, in the network card management method of the intelligent gateway, the software block is divided into a task area, a configuration storage area, a network card list area and a configuration interface area, and for the software configuration, the software configuration is further divided into a general configuration and a special configuration of each network card type, wherein the general configuration comprises network card enabling, network card type, driving IC, priority, MTU value, whether keep-alive detection and ICMP message keep-alive detection address. For switching of different network cards, the switching is mainly determined according to network card configuration issued to the intelligent gateway by an App application or a cloud service, and mainly focuses on the functions of network card enabling, priority, whether keep-alive detection and ICMP message keep-alive detection addresses.
The network card is generally configured as follows:
type of network card: including ethernet, wiFi, cellular networks (5G, 4G, 3G, 2G);
drive IC: the intelligent gateway is used for identifying the drive chip of the current network card type and identifying and loading the drive chip;
priority level: determining which network card is used for establishing the external network communication connection of the intelligent gateway according to the priority;
MTU: setting a maximum transmission unit of the network card, and determining the size of each data packet of the network card;
and (3) detecting whether to keep alive: determining whether the network card detects the configured keep-alive detection address;
ICMP message keep-alive detection address: and sending the target address of the ICMP message for keep-alive detection.
The keep-alive detection is matched with the priority, the current priority of the network card failing to keep-alive detection is reduced, and the network card failing to keep-alive detection is still arranged according to the configuration priority for external communication.
The specific configuration of the network card is described as follows:
the special configuration of the Ethernet card comprises: network card MAC address, dynamic IP configuration, static IP configuration, whether to be a routing device (distributing IP of other connected Ethernet devices), and a data routing target network card;
the special configuration of the WiFi network card comprises the following steps: wiFi working mode (as AP mode or STA mode), encryption type, hot spot name, hot spot password, 5G WiFi hot spot, and data routing target network card;
the special configuration of the cellular network comprises: 5G/4G/3G/2G function selection, configuration of respective SIM cards corresponding to the selection of 5G/4G/3G/2G.
The data routing target network card can select various network cards including a cellular network (5G, 4G, 3G, 2G) network card, a WiFi network card and an Ethernet network card.
The step S406 includes:
step S4061, enabling each network card to be installed based on the network card enabling configuration item, pushing each network card to be installed into the network card list area for background operation.
Step S4062, responding to the configuration command, and storing the network card configuration items of each network card to be installed in the network card list area.
Step S4063, determining the installation priority of each network card to be installed based on the priority configuration item and the keep-alive detection configuration item.
And step S4064, determining the network card to be installed with the highest installation priority as a target network card to be installed.
In an example, the process of installing the functions configured according to the network card enabling, the priority, whether to keep-alive detection and the ICMP message keep-alive detection address includes:
firstly, a network card enabling configuration item is a key for determining whether the network card is loaded and used, if the network card enabling configuration item of the appointed network card is set to be no, the appointed network card is in a power-off state and waits for hardware to be pulled out or is reset to be yes, meanwhile, the network cards with the highest priority in the normal operation network cards with the highest priority in the other network card enabling configuration items are set to be responsible for cloud communication, and the network cards with the other priorities continue to operate in respective local area network networks and communicate;
Secondly, the priority configuration item is a configuration item for determining which network card is used for communicating with a cloud server from among all network cards which are enabled and have normal external communication, and the network card with the highest priority is responsible for data interaction and command communication between the intelligent gateway and the cloud server;
thirdly, if keep-alive detection is performed, if the keep-alive detection address of the ICMP message is used together with the keep-alive detection configuration item and the keep-alive detection address configuration item of the ICMP message, if the keep-alive detection is set to be yes, the keep-alive detection addresses of the ICMP message need to be configured, the keep-alive detection addresses of the ICMP message are used for detecting whether network cards in all enabled network cards can normally communicate with a cloud (external network) server, if the network cards with high enabled priority are detected to be unable to normally communicate with the cloud server, the priority of the network card with abnormal communication is temporarily reduced, and the communication right of the cloud service is given to other network cards capable of normally communicating, so that the communication between the intelligent gateway and the cloud server can be kept normal. When the network card with abnormal communication is detected to be recovered to be normal, recovering the priority configured by the normal priority configuration item, and re-adding the priority into a network card list which is determined by the priority configuration item to communicate with a cloud (external network) server.
Therefore, the network card enabling and priority configuration is set by a user, which network cards are used and the respective network card priorities are determined, and which network card is responsible for communicating with the cloud server is determined; if the configuration items of keep-alive detection and ICMP message keep-alive detection are kept, and after the configuration items are opened by a user, the temporary priority of the network card for communication with the cloud server is adjusted according to the detection result. And meanwhile, the local area network communication of the respective network card is maintained.
In the mode, by configuring each parameter of each enabled network card, the adaptation of various network cards can be realized, the data route between the network cards is communicated, and the connection of the intelligent equipment connected to the intelligent gateway to the external network server is realized.
Step S4065, loading the driver of the target network card to be installed based on the special configuration corresponding to the target network card to be installed, and starting the functional module operated by the target network card to be installed so as to complete the installation of the target network card to be installed.
In an example, when the network card hardware access is completed, an App application sends a corresponding configuration command designating the network card to the intelligent gateway, thereby triggering the intelligent gateway to enable the currently designated network card, loading a designated network card driver, and starting a functional module to be operated by the corresponding network card according to software configuration. These are the loading process of a network card hardware.
Different kinds of network cards have different configurations, and the special configuration of the network card comprises: the special configuration of the Ethernet card comprises: network card MAC address, dynamic IP configuration, static IP configuration, whether to be a routing device (distributing IP of other connected Ethernet devices), and a data routing target network card; the special configuration of the WiFi network card comprises the following steps: wiFi working mode (as AP mode or STA mode), encryption type, hot spot name, hot spot password, 5G WiFi hot spot, and data routing target network card; the special configuration of the cellular network comprises: 5G/4G/3G/2G function selection, configuration of respective SIM cards corresponding to the selection of 5G/4G/3G/2G. The data routing target network card can select various network cards including a cellular network (5G, 4G, 3G, 2G) network card, a WiFi network card and an Ethernet network card.

Step S502, based on the network card installation requirement, the alternative network card set is screened from the network card list. Please refer to step S404 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 in detail, which is not described herein.
Step S503, reading network card configuration items of each network card to be installed in the alternative network card set. Please refer to step S405 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 in detail, which is not described herein.

Specifically, after the step S504, the multi-network card management method further includes:
in step S505, in response to the network card switching instruction, the installation priority of the network card currently installed on the intelligent gateway is adjusted downward, and the step of determining the target network card to be installed from the candidate network card set based on the network card configuration item is returned.
In an example, the switching of the network card decides how to configure according to the network environment and the use requirement of the actual application. The intelligent gateway performs switching and function use on the network card as follows:
in the example 1, the application requirement of the user is that the intelligent gateway uses the 4G cellular network card to connect to the cloud server, the WiFi network card establishes a WiFi hotspot local area network and performs data routing to access other IP devices (for example, a camera, after performing data routing, a video stream of the camera can be transferred to the 4G cellular network card to upload to the cloud server), and the Ethernet network card is connected to the local area network to perform local management operation. Then, according to this requirement, after the hardware access of the 4G cellular network card and the WiFi network card is completed, the 4G cellular network card, the WiFi network card and the ethernet network card with the own network card are enabled, the 4G cellular network card is configured to have the highest priority, the ethernet network card is configured to have the dynamic IP and the second priority, the WiFi network card is configured to have the AP mode and set the encryption type, the hot spot name and the hot spot password, and the data routing target network card of the WiFi network card is configured to be the 4G cellular network card. Thereby, the application requirements of the user can be achieved.
In the example 2, the application requirement of the user is that the intelligent gateway uses the WiFi network card to connect with the environment WiFi hotspot and connect with the cloud server, and the 4G cellular network card is used as a standby network card when the WiFi network is abnormal, so that the intelligent gateway cannot be disconnected with the cloud server to cause offline. According to the requirement, after the hardware access of the 4G cellular network card and the WiFi network card is completed, the 4G cellular network card is enabled, the WiFi network card is enabled, the self-contained Ethernet network card is closed, then the WiFi network card is configured to have the highest priority, the encryption type, the hotspot name and the hotspot password of the WiFi hotspot of the environment to which the WiFi network card is connected are configured, the keep-alive detection is opened, the ICMP message keep-alive detection address is set as the cloud server address, and then the 4G cellular network card is configured to have the second priority. Therefore, when the WiFi is in normal communication, the WiFi network card is responsible for communication with the cloud server, and when the WiFi network card is detected that the WiFi network card cannot normally communicate with the cloud server, the priority of the WiFi network card is temporarily reduced, and the communication right of the cloud server is given to the 4G cellular network card with the second priority, so that the communication between the intelligent gateway and the cloud server can be continuously kept in normal communication and data interaction. And after the communication of the WiFi network card is recovered to be normal, recovering the priority configured by the normal priority configuration item, and recovering the communication right with the cloud server.
The switching and the function use of the network card are to adjust and configure according to the actual demands of clients or inform technical support staff of the demands, and perform configuration switching and use under the planning guidance of the technical support staff. In this way, the diversified demands of users can be satisfied without increasing the kinds of intelligent gateways of the device manufacturer. The motherboard of the intelligent gateway is separated from each network card module, thereby reducing the design and manufacturing costs of device manufacturers, and the firmware branches of the intelligent gateway, thereby reducing the maintenance costs of device firmware.
In the mode, when the current network card cannot meet the requirements, the priority of the network card is adjusted, and the network card is switched, so that the intelligent gateway can provide optimal data communication which meets the requirements of users.
And step S506, responding to the network card unloading instruction, stopping the function module of the network card operation currently installed on the intelligent gateway, unloading the drive of the network card, and powering off the network card.
In an example, an App application sends a specified network card closing command to an intelligent gateway, so that the intelligent gateway is triggered to stop a functional module for running the specified network card, a specified network card driver is unloaded, the specified network card is powered off, then a cover plate can be detached for the intelligent gateway of the closed shell, a network card accessory is pulled out and is installed back to the cover plate, and the network card accessory can be pulled out directly for the gateway with an exposed hardware interface. The operation realizes the detachable loadability of each network card.
In the mode, when the network card fails or is not used any more, the network card is unloaded, so that the operation load of the intelligent gateway is reduced, a user can conveniently select a new network card to load, and the use experience of the user is improved.
According to the multi-network card management method provided by the embodiment, when the current network card cannot meet the requirements, the priority of the network card is adjusted, and the network card is switched, so that the intelligent gateway can provide optimal data communication which meets the requirements of users.
