The method and apparatus for testing compatibility between a wireless device and a router according to the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

The most common method for testing the networking compatibility between the wireless device and the router is mainly implemented by manual testing, wherein the networking compatibility test between the wireless device and the router is a relatively wide field, and relates to various wireless technologies and device types. In addition to WIFI devices, bluetooth devices, zigbee devices, NFC devices, wireless USB devices, satellite communication devices, etc. may be included. These devices use different wireless communication technologies. For convenience of explanation, the following embodiments of the present invention mainly take testing of networking compatibility between WIFI devices and WIFI routers as an example, and are not considered as specific limitation of the protection scope of the present invention.

According to the method for testing the compatibility of the wireless equipment and the router, the execution main body can be the electronic equipment, and the wireless equipment (such as WIFI equipment) is in communication connection with the electronic equipment through the USB interface of the electronic equipment.

The electronic device may be a device preloaded with an operating system, capable of performing a certain data processing independently, and having a wireless communication capability. As an alternative embodiment, raspberry group may be chosen as the execution body for the wireless device and router compatibility test method.

The raspberry pie is a microcomputer based on ARM architecture, has very small volume and credit card size, but has complete computer function, can run Linux and other operating systems, and supports multiple programming languages. The hardware configuration of the raspberry group comprises: ARM processor, GPU, memory, USB interface, ethernet interface, HDMI interface, audio output interface, GPIO etc. and support wireless communication interfaces such as WIFI and bluetooth. Namely, the method and the device can realize compatibility test of the WIFI router of the WIFI equipment networking by utilizing the USB interface provided by the raspberry group.

Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method for testing compatibility between a wireless device and a router, as shown in fig. 1, wherein the method mainly includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

Step 101: and receiving a compatibility test instruction. The compatibility test instruction carries test information for carrying out compatibility test on the wireless equipment connected with at least one target router;

the raspberry pie is taken as an execution main body and is responsible for receiving and analyzing the compatibility test instruction. These instructions are typically sent by a tester or an automated test system to trigger a compatibility test for a particular WIFI device with a WIFI router. The test information carried in the instruction is critical to the subsequent test flow and is used for indicating the raspberry group to carry out which compatibility test items on which WIFI routers and the implementation flow of the specific compatibility test items.

The specific implementation steps can be as follows:

The user sends a compatibility test instruction to the raspberry through a user interface or an API interface of a test system of the control terminal, wherein the compatibility test instruction comprises test information of a WIFI device and a target WIFI router to be tested for compatibility test, such as an MAC address, a device name and the like of the WIFI device, and information of the target WIFI router to be tested, such as a service set identifier (SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER, SSID), a password, an encryption mode of a wireless network, a Channel and the like.

After receiving the compatibility test instruction, the raspberry group analyzes the test information to obtain the related information required by the compatibility test.

Step 102: and responding to the compatibility test instruction, and issuing a networking drive instruction to the wireless equipment. Wherein the networking driver instructions include at least distribution network information determined based on networking requirements for connection to the target router.

After receiving the compatibility test instruction, the raspberry group needs to send a networking drive instruction to the WIFI equipment to drive the WIFI equipment to try to connect to the target WIFI router. The distribution network information in the networking driving instruction is key and is used for indicating how the WIFI equipment is connected to the WIFI router. Through the process, the scene that the WIFI equipment is connected with the WIFI router in actual use can be simulated, so that the compatibility of the WIFI router is tested.

The specific implementation steps comprise:

(1) And generating a networking driving instruction by the raspberry group according to the analyzed test information.

(2) The networking driving instruction comprises networking information, such as SSID (service set identifier), password and the like of the WIFI router, and the information is that the WIFI equipment is connected to the target raspberry group to generate the networking driving instruction according to the test information obtained through analysis.

The networking driving instruction contains network allocation information, such as SSID, password and the like of the WIFI router, which are necessary for the WIFI device to connect to the target router.

(3) The raspberry group sends networking drive instructions to the WIFI device via an appropriate communication protocol (e.g., WIFI direct, bluetooth, etc.).

Of course, in the method for testing compatibility between the wireless device and the router provided by the invention, the network allocation parameters of the WIFI device can be set, modified or reset in real time through the raspberry group according to actual detection needs, and the method mainly comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps of equipment parameters of WIFI equipment, a network distribution mode of the WIFI equipment, WIFI access parameters of a WIFI router, background login parameters of the WIFI router, a power control unit address and a port number of the WIFI router and the like.

The network distribution parameters of the WIFI equipment are set to realize network connection and remote management of the WIFI equipment. In particular, this includes the following aspects:

Setting WIFI access parameters generally refers to a series of parameters required to configure a WIFI device network connection so that the WIFI device can connect to and use the wireless network, and these parameters mainly include: SSID, security type, password, channel, IP address assignment, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, etc.

The SSID requires an identification to be used when searching for and selecting wireless networks. The security type refers to the encryption mode of the wireless network, such as WPA, WPA2, WEP, etc. The password refers to a password or key required to connect to the encrypted wireless network. The frequency channel refers to an operating frequency channel of a wireless signal, and sometimes needs to be adjusted according to surrounding wireless network environments to avoid interference. The IP address allocation means that the IP address of the device is statically allocated or automatically acquired through DHCP. Subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, these network parameters determine how WIFI devices communicate with other devices and how to access the internet.

Further, the purpose of setting the WIFI access parameters is to ensure that the device is able to properly connect to the wireless network and communicate with other network devices. This is the basic setting for WIFI devices to conduct network communications. Setting background login parameters, namely authentication information required for accessing a WIFI router background management interface, generally comprises the following steps: the IP address of the WIFI router, an administrator account number, an administrator password and the like.

The IP address of the router refers to an address for accessing the router management interface through the browser. The administrator account number refers to a user name of a login router background management interface. The administrator password is a password corresponding to an administrator account number.

The purpose of setting the background login parameters is to protect the management interface of the router from unauthorized users, while allowing authorized users to configure and manage the router.

In summary, the access parameters of the WIFI device are set to enable the WIFI device to connect to the wireless network and perform data communication, and the background login parameters are set to protect the security of the management interface of the router and to implement remote management of the router. Both are important aspects of network configuration, but the focus of attention is different. The former focuses on the network connection of the devices, and the latter focuses on the security and management of the routers themselves.

Further, the background login parameters of the WIFI router may include an IP address of the router, an administrator account number, and a password. Through the parameters, the router can remotely log in to a management interface of the router to perform configuration and maintenance work. For example, the SSID and password of the wireless network may be changed, firmware updated, network settings modified, or the like.

The address and port number of the power control unit of the WIFI router means that if the WIFI router is connected to an intelligent power control unit (e.g. a program PDU), the address and port number are the interfaces for remote control of the router power. Through this interface, switching operations on the router power supply can be implemented, which is very useful when it is necessary to remotely restart the router or to control the power supply on a timed basis.

In summary, the present invention can set the network allocation parameters of the WIFI device through the raspberry group, and mainly can realize remote access management, that is, allow an administrator to perform configuration and management without physically contacting with a router, especially in a large network environment or a distributed network.

Meanwhile, the automatic network configuration of the WIFI equipment is realized, namely, network parameters can be automatically set and modified through scripts or management software, so that the efficiency is improved, and human errors are reduced.

In addition, the network distribution parameters of the WIFI equipment are set through the raspberry pie, so that fault recovery and remote restarting of the WIFI equipment can be realized, and when a router has a problem, the router can be restarted remotely, and service can be recovered quickly. Energy saving and cost control, and is beneficial to safety control.

Furthermore, the remote setting of the distribution network parameters of the WIFI equipment is realized by utilizing the raspberry group, and the router power supply can be turned off in off-peak time, so that energy and cost are saved. And when a network security event occurs, the router power supply can be remotely disconnected, so that security risk diffusion is prevented.

Step 103: a test log fed back by the wireless device is received. The test log at least comprises log information of the wireless device responding to the networking driving instruction to establish communication connection with the target router.

The test log is an important basis for evaluating the compatibility of the WIFI equipment and the target WIFI router. In the process that the WIFI device tries to connect to the target WIFI router, it records various information, such as connection state, signal strength, connection speed, and the like. This information is critical to judging the compatibility of the device and router. By receiving and analyzing the test logs, the raspberry group can evaluate the compatibility of the WIFI equipment and the WIFI router in the connection establishment process and find possible problems or defects.

The specific implementation steps comprise:

(1) After receiving the networking driving instruction, the WIFI equipment can try to connect to the target WIFI router and record relevant log information.

(2) The WIFI device sends the test log back to the raspberry group through the same communication protocol.

(3) After the raspberry group receives the test log, the test log is parsed and stored for subsequent analysis and processing.

According to the method for testing the compatibility of the wireless equipment and the router, provided by the invention, the simulation of the wireless networking equipment is realized by utilizing the USB interface provided by the electronic equipment, and the testing efficiency of the networking test of the wireless equipment is improved by accurately refining the test points, so that the manpower resources are effectively saved, and the objectivity and the accuracy of the detection result are ensured.

Fig. 2 is a signaling diagram of a method for testing compatibility between a wireless device and a router, where in an alternative embodiment, the method further includes, before issuing a networking driving instruction to the wireless device in response to the compatibility testing instruction:

And sending a first driving instruction to a programmable power supply distribution unit (Programmable Power Distribution Unit, PDU), wherein the first driving instruction carries an identity of the target router and is used for driving the programmable power supply distribution unit to power on the target router to be detected. The identity mark comprises one of a power distribution unit address or a power distribution unit port number of the target router.

According to the invention, all WIFI routers to be tested can be installed in a cabinet mode in advance, cluster deployment and management and control are carried out, equipment management is enhanced, and equipment confusion and random configuration change of parameters are avoided.

Furthermore, the WIFI router deployed by the cluster is precisely controlled by the remote control method of the raspberry-dispatching program-controlled PDU, and the interference of coexistence of a plurality of WIFI routers can be effectively avoided while energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the WIFI router.

As an optional embodiment, the present invention provides a specific embodiment for controlling all WIFI routers to be detected in the process of implementing compatibility test through PDU.

Generally, the PDU is provided with a built-in Web server, and a user accesses the IP address of the PDU through a browser to enter a management interface by operating the raspberry, so that operations such as switching on and switching off the power supply of the WIFI router, scheduling tasks, checking the power supply state of the power supply WIFI router and the like can be performed according to the identity of each WIFI router.

The PDUs provided in this aspect may also support simple network management protocols (Simple Network Management Protocol, SNMP) allowing an administrator to centrally monitor and control power states via SNMP management tools. Through SNMP, a user may obtain status information of the PDU and send a control command to turn on or off a power port connected to each WIFI router.

Of course, the PDUs provided by the present invention provide an application programming interface (Application Programming Interface, API) that allows a developer to write custom scripts or integrate into existing system management platforms to implement more complex power management logic. For example, the detection logic for performing compatibility detection on all WIFI routes to be detected may be preset, and then the power management logic of the brother power port of the PDU may be determined according to the detection logic.

When the compatibility test is carried out, when the raspberry group receives the compatibility test instruction forwarded by the server, the raspberry group sends a first driving instruction to the PDU according to the identity of the target router which needs to carry out the compatibility test. And opening a corresponding power port for supplying power to the PDU according to the identity of the target router carried by the received first driving instruction so as to electrify the target router to be detected.

After the PDU is powered on to the target router to be detected, the PDU sends a feedback router a power-on notice to the raspberry group, and after the raspberry group receives the power-on notice, the target router can send a networking driving instruction.

As an alternative embodiment, in the case that there are a plurality of target routers, the compatibility test instruction carries a test list for the wireless device to traverse all the target routers;

Compared with the existing most common test method for the compatibility of the WIFI equipment and the WIFI router, the test method for the compatibility by means of the raspberry pie provided by the invention is characterized in that the test of a plurality of WIFI routers is highlighted, because the test time is increased along with the increase of the number of the WIFI routers to be tested, and the network allocation steps are the same, and the repeated work for a long time can cause tiredness and influence the accuracy of the result. The method and the device can sort test items of all the WIFI routers to be tested in advance to generate a test list. After the raspberry group receives the compatibility test instruction, firstly, reading a test item of a first WIFI router in a test list, and powering on the first WIFI router by sending a first driving instruction to the PDU. And then, issuing a networking driving instruction to the WIFI equipment, wherein the networking driving instruction carries configuration information of the WIFI equipment and a first WIFI router for network distribution, and finally the WIFI equipment feeds back a test log in the network distribution process to the raspberry group. The raspberry group can analyze or store the test log as required or upload the test log to the control end through the server end.

According to the wireless device and router compatibility testing method, the WIFI device is connected to the USB interface of the raspberry group, the network distribution instruction is automatically input and connected to the WIFI router, and the raspberry group can operate related compatibility detection items in an unattended mode for 24 hours after receiving the compatibility testing instruction sent by a user, and the network distribution testing work is not required to be manually repeated and the network distribution testing result is recorded, so that the testing efficiency and the testing precision are greatly improved.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, as an optional embodiment, after completing the test on any target router in the test list, the method further includes:

sending a second driving instruction to the PDU, wherein the second driving instruction carries the identity of any target router and the identity of the next router of any target router;

the second driving instruction is used for driving the PDU to power off any target router and powering on the next router of the any target router.

According to the invention, all the WIFI routers to be tested are installed in a cabinet mode, clustered deployment and management are performed, after compatibility testing of a certain WIFI router is completed according to a test list, a raspberry group sends a second driving instruction to the PDU, and mainly the remote control PDU cuts off the power supply of the WIFI router with the compatibility testing completed, and meanwhile, powering-on operation is performed for the next WIFI router recorded in the test list, so that the raspberry group drives the WIFI equipment to develop the compatibility testing with the next WIFI router.

And iteratively executing the steps until compatibility tests of all the WIFI routers in the test list are completed.

According to the method, through the remote control method of the program-controlled PDU, accurate control of the WIFI routers deployed in the cluster is achieved, energy is saved, emission is reduced, and the occurrence of interference situations of coexistence of multiple routers can be avoided. Meanwhile, due to the editability of the test list, a user can flexibly make different detection plans according to actual detection needs.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, as an alternative embodiment, the test terminal is connected to the network communication port of the electronic device through a server, and the compatibility test instruction is sent by the test terminal.

As one of the network communication ports, in the method for testing compatibility between the wireless device and the router provided by the present invention, the network communication port of the raspberry group may use an encrypted network transmission protocol (SSH) port, which refers to an interface in the raspberry group operating system that allows a user to remotely log in and manage the raspberry group through the SSH protocol. SSH is an encrypted network protocol that can be used to securely connect remotely to another computer and perform commands or operations.

After enabling the SSH interface on the raspberry Pi, the user can connect to the raspberry Pi remotely using SSH client software on any device and perform various operations, such as installing software packages, configuring network settings, running scripts, and so forth. Through the SSH interface, a user can easily remotely manage and control the raspberry group without physically touching the raspberry group.

The SSH interface is off by default and requires a setup in the raspberry-style operating system to be enabled. After enabling the SSH interface, the user may remotely connect and manage the raspberry group within a local area network or on the internet using SSH client software, such as PuTTY, openSSH. Notably, because the SSH protocol has cryptographic functionality, using the SSH interface for telnet and management is relatively secure, suggesting that the user enable and use that functionality.

The invention can realize the networking control of the WIFI equipment for automatically traversing all target routers through the SSH interface control of the raspberry group. Referring to fig. 2, the method for testing compatibility between a wireless device and a router provided by the present invention may include the following implementation steps:

And editing the compatibility test content by the user at the control end according to the test requirement, and sending the compatibility test content to the server end. And the server generates and sends a compatibility test instruction to the raspberry group according to the compatibility test content. The WIFI device has previously established communication between the WIFI device and the raspberry group through the USB interface of the raspberry group, and executes the compatibility test procedure provided in the foregoing embodiment after the compatibility test instruction received by the raspberry group, which is not described herein.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, as an alternative embodiment, after receiving the test log fed back by the wireless device, the method further includes:

Referring to fig. 2, after the raspberry group receives the test log fed back by the test server after the compatibility test is completed by a certain WIFI router, the test log is uploaded to the test server.
