Public Method enableDisableCommunicationPorts

static void enableDisableCommunicationPorts(int portMask, int timeout)

Throws:

• IOException

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Parameter	Range	Description
portMask	Bits 1 ... 6	bitmask for communication-port
timeout	0 ... 65535	timeout in units of 10ms

Disables the communication-ports that are 0-bits in the portMask. After the timeout period, all ports are enabled again. The bits of are defined as follows:

portMask
PORT_SERIAL_0
PORT_SERIAL_1
PORT_USB
PORT_I2C
PORT_SPI
PORT_ETHERNET

• Using this method again will restart the timeout.
• Unused bits of the byte are ignored. Hence, all ports are disabled with a portMask of 0x00 and enabled with 0xFF.

Example

IO.enableDisableCommunicationPorts(IO.PORT_SERIAL_0 |
                                   IO.PORT_SERIAL_0 |
                                   IO.PORT_I2C |
                                   IO.PORT_SPI |
                                   IO.PORT_ETHERNET,
                                   500);

Disables the USB port for 5 seconds.
