Some question regarding fetching data from a device

Post by eshban »

Hi,


I have a device and it looks like a DSL modem, but actually it is not a modem. Actually this device contains xml files. I need to read xml file from that device and save the xml in a string via php programming, so I have following problems / questions. Unfortunately I don't have its documentation

1) How can i know the ip address of the device?
2) How can i know that which ports are open
3) Which port allows me to send request and it respond me back with the xml string.

Please help in this regard.

Your questions are obviously device-specific - you will have better luck with google or (even better) device manufacturer website.
