modem-status

A module for NodeJS applications used to read and parse information from user accessible web pages on an internet provider modem.

It may be useful to record modem status information over time for network diagnostics and preventative monitoring. In many cases the modem used to connect to an internet provider will have an interface from which status details can be derived, i.e. web pages.

This module is used to extract status details from the modem so the data can then be recorded or analyzed.

Install

npm install --save modem-status

Usage

Load the module into your node application and call the static methods with the parameters needed to scan your modem...

const ModemStatus = require('../index.js');

let StatusURL = "http://192.168.100.1";

ModemStatus.getStatus(StatusURL)
  .then(status => {
    console.log('STATUS:', status);
    process.exit(0);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.log('ERROR', error.message);
    process.exit(1);
  });

Methods

getStatus (url, [parserName], [options])

The getStatus() method is used to get the current status details from the modem. An object will be returned by the method with the extracted details.

url

The url parameter is required, it is the fully qualified path to the status page on the modem, i.e. http://192.168.100.1/RgConnect.asp

parserName

The parserName argument is the name of the modem parser to use. If not specified the default arris-cox parser will be used.

options

The optional options argument is an options object that will be passed to the HTTP or HTTPS request method. See the NodeJS docs for details about option parameters that can be passed.

Parsers

The module is designed to dynamically load a parser module based on the modem model that is used.

arris-cox

The arris-cox parser is used to parse Arris cable modems used on the Cox network.
