The on ring event doesn't work.

The on ring event doesn't work.

I have never tried this on windows.
However, on Linux, these modems open up several different ports and only one of them throws events for us to detect.

Is it also the case in Windows? Does modem have several different ports?
If yes, could you please try different ports and see if the problem persists on those ports?

Thanks :)

I am on Windows yes.
It is a simple USB FAX modem with a line in and a line out where I connect my land line phone.
On the hardware properties on Windows, it says it is connected on COM19 and that is why I used this

var modem1 = new Modem({
ports : ['COM19'],
debug : true
});

It is just weird that the debug function can catch the event of the incoming call and the caller id, and the on ring event cannot catch it.

@deliverymanager Are you sure you are using modem.js?

modem.js has no debug function and its api is a little bit different with what you are using.

I think you are using another module.

[deliverymanager]

That is fact!! I feel embarrassed! The modules are so similar to each other that I mixed them up.
I will try to install your module and check it out!
Will get back to you to tell if it worked with your module.
Thank you!

Ok I tried. The result is the same. It doesn't trigger the ring event.
Here is the code:
var device = process.argv[2];
if(!device) {
console.log('Usage: node callerid.js /path/to/device');
process.exit();
}
var modem = require('../index.js').Modem();
modem.open(device, function() {
modem.on('ring', function(msisdn) {
console.log('Ringing', msisdn);
});
//I am using the following so that I can enable the caller id feature at the modem and also to check the communication. It returns OK in the console.log
modem.execute("AT+VCID=1", function(escape_char,response){
console.log(escape_char);
console.log("response:"+response);
}, true);
});
