What would be the best way to programmatically detect the modem in use
at any particular time?
For the sites under consideration, each modem (different makes) has a
logon ip of 10.1.1.1 (it’s one of the common addresses that the
manufacturers use), so I’m thinking that a method might be to start a
browser process (or open a web page with that address in a form), and
look for some modem-specific text there).
Or is there a much simpler method not dependent on ad hoc testing of
modems?
Hi Ian,
Not sure what you are after, BUT:
You could get the gateway address, and using that get the MAC address.
Each Modem should have a different MAC address, so you can determine the
one in use from that.
