A package for polling and parsing the status of a UHP Networks Ku Satellite Modem.
Clone this repo and install using:
pip install .
from the root directory of the repository.
There are 2 ways to use this package,
- from a python shell, or
- from the command line (2 commands).
from polluhp import PollUHP
address = '192.168.222.222'
timeout = 5
retrytime = 1
psb = PollUHP(address,timeout=timeout,retrytime=retrytime)
psb.poll()
print(psb.status)
Installation results in a polluhp command line tool. Example usage:
$ polluhp 192.168.222.222
which will poll the modem with IP address 192.168.222.222. By default, the
program will try to poll the modem 3 times waiting with a timeout of 5
seconds and a retry time of 1 second. Check out the help to see how to
modify the timeout and retrytime:
$ polluhp -h
usage: polluhp [-h] [-t TIMEOUT] [-r RETRYTIME] address
Poll a UHP Networks Ku Satellite Modem for status.
positional arguments:
address The IP address of the modem.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
Poll timeout. Time to wait for response to request.
-r RETRYTIME, --retrytime RETRYTIME
Retry timeout. Time to wait between retries.
There is another tool, modemview that is also available. Usage is the same
as for polluhp, however the results are displayed in a curses display
and updated every ~5 seconds.
