SurfStat

Neither this project nor its author is associated in any way with ViaSat.

This library provides easy access modem status data provided by ViaSat's SurfBeam® 2 satellite modems' CGI api.

Get It

SurfStat is available as a NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SurfStat/.

PM> Install-Package SurfStat

Sample Usage

Get the modem status asynchronously.

var stat = new SurfStatFetcher();
var modemStatus = await stat.GetModemStatusAsync();
if (modemStatus != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The modem's external IP address is {0}", status.IPAddress);
}

Get the TRIA status synchronously.

var stat = new SurfStatFetcher();
var triaStatus = stat.GetTriaStatusAsync().Result;
if (triaStatus != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The TRIA's temperature is {0}C", status.Temperature);
}
