Asianet DataLine Auto Login for Windows

Asianet DataLine Auto Login for Windows

Asianet Dataline is one of the top broadband service providers in my state (Kerala). Asianet Dataline (ADL) provides excellent bandwidth when it comes to pre-paid plans with fixed download limits. Every time you connect to the broadband network, ADL requires you to login using a browser. You also need to keep this browser session open. Otherwise ADL automatically disconnects you from the broadband network.

Obviously this is a big hassle. Many times I have accidently closed the browser and right in the middle of a big download, my connection gets terminated. Also most of the time I want the Internet connectivity as soon as I login to my system.

This is where ADL Auto Login comes to the rescue. ADL Auto Login eliminates the need for an open browser session to keep you connected to Asianet broadband. It can be configured to run as soon as you login to Windows. You can also save your login credentials and ADL Auto Login will automatically authenticate you with Asianet servers.

Using ADL Auto Login you can login or logout from Asianet broadband servers at any time. It also displays the connection status in Windows system tray.

Asianet Dataline Auto Login(python)

Asianet had migrated to a new system Mettle Wire few months back and here is how you can set up the Auto Login for night downloads.

For this you need the following

• Python ( http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.4/python-2.6.4.msi)
• JIT Scheduler ( http://www.download.com/JIT-Scheduler/3000-2084_4-10065163.html )
• Login Script ( http://www.download.com/JIT-Scheduler/3000-2084_4-10065163.html ) – Thanks to Vijayaraj V R

First install Python to a location of your choice ( I used C:\login\Python ) Next extract the login script to C:\login. Open the login script with a text editor like Notepad and update the username and password. Do not use Microsoft Word as it may alter the file.

Now open JIT Scheduler and click the ‘New’ task button on top and enter the details as shown in the images below to login automatically at the specified time. Also repeat the process every 5 minutes in case you are automatically logged out by the system.

You may need to update the command in the first image depending on the location you installed Python and where you extracted the login script.

After creating the task, right click on the task and select ‘Task Properties’ and change the option in Window to Minimized in the System menu as shown in picture so that login script is run in the background.

Now you need to create another task to shutdown the system at 8 AM and can be done as shown below.

Login Script to automatically connect to your Asianet Dataline Internet connection

Asianet Dataline is an ISP in Kerala and they use a web browser based authentication system to log the user onto their network. One of their most popular plans the - Homenet 475 offers free unlimited downloads from 2AM to 8AM. Now if there was a way to turn on your system at 2AM, automatically login to Asianet and turn your download manager on and then shutdown at 8AM it would have been perfect. The only problem is that the http based authentication system makes it a bit unwieldy to automate. Well not really :-). We have created a bash script to automate this login process.

Features

- Automatically connect to Asianet Dataline without having to sign in via the browser.
- In startup and free mode the script will keep the connection alive.
- The script will automatically reconnect if connection breaks because of a power failure or a line problem.
- In free mode the script will call any related startup and shutdown scripts placed inside the ~/.auto-login/startup and ~/.auto-login/shutdown folders.

Setup Instructions

a) Copy script to your favorite scripts folder.
b) Edit script to update username and password with your Asianet login information.
c) Add script to your startup process. See different ways of using the script below to know more.
d) If you want to start and stop other applications at the time of starting the script then create a folder ~/.auto-login and inside that create sub-folders startup and shutdown. Place other scripts that have to be called during startup and shutdown of this script into the respective folders. Make sure that these scripts have their executable bit set.

Different ways of using the script

1) Add a shortcut to your task bar to launch the script with the parameter "auto". Use this shortcut to start the connection with one click and stop the connection with one click. Remember that the connection will time out if there is no activity. But that should not be a problem because you can connect again with a single click.
2) Add the script to your startup process with parameter "startup". This will keep the script running in the background and the script will keep the connection alive with keep-alive requests.
3) Add the script to your startup process with parameter "free". This will keep the script running in the background and the script will connect only during the free download hours and then it will keep the connection alive with keep-alive requests until the free time ends. When free time ends it will disconnect the connection. In this mode the script will also run any related startup and shutdown scripts placed inside the ~/.auto-login/startup and ~/.auto-login/shutdown folders.

The script is available at http://www.zyxware.com/software/utilities/asianet-auto-login.v.1.0.tar.gz
