Hilink - ruby interface for Huawei Hilink web-frontend

The code supposes that the modem is connected and has the IP 192.168.1.1. Then you can do:

require 'hilink'
puts Hilink::Monitoring::status.inspect

which will return a hash of all variables that the stick can return.

Please also see the much more complete PhP-implementation on BlackyPanther/Huawei-HiLink.

If you have the newer version which connects to 192.168.8.1, this library won't work for you, sorry.

Each command is a module inside of Hilink. There are different modules:

• Monitoring - return different status of the modem
• Network - change 2g / 3g network
• SMS - send, receive and list
• Dialup - (dis)connect from network
• Modem - useful only when it is in modem-mode
• USSD - Doesn't work due to Huawei restriction

The Hilink-module itself has three methods:

• send_request( path, request = {} ) - generates a valid XML-request and return the result as a hash
• switch_to_modem - sends the command so the key behaves as a modem
• switch_to_debug - according to web-interface, no difference visible

You can monitor different things:

• traffic_statistics - per-connection and total usage
• traffic_reset - set all to 0
• status - shows whether connected or not
• check_notifications

• set_connection_type( mode = 'auto', band = '-1599903692' ) - mode can be 'auto', '2g' or '3g'
• current_plnm - get actual connection

• list
