Methods and systems utilize one or more scripts to enable interaction with
an electronic information page of a remote device. The electronic
information page contains operating data for the remote device, and the
operating data may be a measured parameter or a control setting. The
remote device may provide a web server application through which the
electronic information page, such as a static web page, may be accessed.
The at least one script provides location information for the electronic
information page and operating data within the page. The at least one
script may provide an alias name or group for the remote device(s) that
specifies a uniform resource locator address where the electronic
information page(s) may be found. The at least one script may also
provide commands that include the path(s) to the electronic information
page and the variable name(s) for the operating data to be obtained
and/or set. A utility application may receive user input through the
command line of a computer, such as receiving a product name and URL or
an alias name, as well as a command to cause the utility to interact with
the appropriate electronic information page on the network.
