Modem status via API

[Arnd –]

Dear all,

I’m wondering if it is possible to get the current modem status via API.
We are using the iSMS system for our environment monitoring system
and it is essential to check if the modem is ready (network registration, signal quality…)
At the moment we are sending a heartbeat SMS to the modem itself and check if the send command was successful – not a very nice solution 

It would also be helpful to delete the inbox via API….

Another question is, will there be a new Firmware available in the future or is this product already ‘obsolete’ (last firmware update is from 2012!)?

Thanks in advance,

Arnd

The iSMS hardware isn’t obsolete yet and the latest firmware was just generated yesterday. We haven’t done an official release for quite some time, but we haven’t stopped fixing bugs or adding minor features. Read the ReadMe.txt file for the 1.51.25 firmware to see if there is something new that would help:

Hi Arnd,
There currently isn’t a way to check the modem status through the API, but there is a feature request for this so it may be added to a future release.

There isn’t a way to delete the Inbox through the API either. Currently the only way to delete the Inbox is through the web menu. The size of the Inbox is managed so you shouldn’t need to delete the Inbox for space reasons.

Regards,
Bryon

Thanks for the fast response and fingers crossed that there will be some new API features in the next release 😉

Thanks,
Arnd

+1 for check modem status like signal and weak status code / disabled code via api.
