Custom network name

[kaushalyasat]

Hi,

I have tried setting a custom network name by adding 

CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_NETWORK_NAME="MILIEU_OTNET" to prj.conf of both coap client and coap server. But they always seem to be using the default 'ot_zephyr' network name. I have rebuild the project once the prj.conf changed.

When I check the .config file after the build, it shows 

CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_NETWORK_NAME="MILIEU_OTNET".

What could be going wrong? 

Thanks,

Hello,

How do you check the network name of your devices?

Hi Edvin, Thanks for your reply. I checked it by 'ot networkname' command on CLI, in the server.

So you are using a 3rd device programmed with the CLI sample? Not the coap_client or coap_server? Are you sure that they are configured to be in the same network? Did you try the command "ot router table"? Do you see the other devices in your network there as well?

BR,

Edvin

No, I am using the CLI feature of the coap server itself. You can connect to the UART0 of server to communicate with the CLI. I think both coap server and client has the CLI feature enabled, but as client is a sleepy end device, we cannot readily use it. I will try ot router table tomorrow when I am back at office.

Thanks,

Sorry for the late reply. I was out of office yesterday. 

That is weird. I just tested using the coap_server from NCS v2.1.0, and I don't see what you see. Setting the network name using 
CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_NETWORK_NAME="MILIEU_OTNET"
The network name is set to MILIEU_OTNET when I test the CLI interface:

(I also checked to see that the channel was set according to "CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_CHANNEL=21")

Best regards,
