Device::Modem::UsRobotics(3pm)

Usage

  use Device::Modem::UsRobotics;
  my $modem = Device::Modem::UsRobotics->new( port => '/dev/ttyS1' );
  $modem->connect( baudrate => 9600 );
  my %info = $modem->messages_info();
  print "There are $info{unreleased_voice_msg} unread voice messages on $info{stored_voice_msg} total\n";
  print "There are $info{unreleased_fax_msg} unread fax messages on $info{stored_fax_msg} total\n";
  # Get details about message n. X
  my %msg = $modem->message_info(1);

Warning

This module is not documented yet, and it is a rough work in progress. Until now, it correctly reads voice/fax messages information, but when saving voice messages to disk, sometimes they are incorrectly decoded.

So, if you need a working program, check out the good old TkUsr by Ludovic Drolez, unless you want to help develop Device::Modem::UsRobotics.

Docs to be completed from now.....

Yes, I'm a bad boy :-)

Overview

Methods

clear_memory()

Used to permanently clear the memory space of the modem. There are separate memory spaces, one for voice/fax messages and one for user settings. Examples:

        $modem->clear_memory('user');     # or $modem->clear_memory(1)
    $modem->clear_memory('messages'); # or $modem->clear_memory(2)

To clear both, you can use:

    $modem->clear_memory('all');      # or $modem->clear_memory(0);

Parameters:

$memtype: String or integer that selects the type of memory to be cleared, where 0 is for "all", 1 is for "user" memory, 2 is for "messages" memory.
