Execution

---

To execute a rule, just send an SMS message to the router‘s SIM card number with the rule's SMS Text, e.g., if you send a message with the text “reboot”, the router will reboot if the selected Authorization method is “No authorization”. However, if there is an Authorization method present you will need to include the “Authorization key” in the text message. This “Authorization key” depends on the chosen Authorization method, i.e., if the method is “By serial”, the “Authorization key” is the router’s serial number, if the method is “By router admin password”, the “Authorization key” is the router’s admin password.

The "Authorization key” must precede the activation text and they must be separated by a space symbol. For example, if the chosen Authorization method is “By router admin password” and the password is “admin01”, the entire message should look like this: “admin01 reboot”. The same applies to “By serial” authorization. By default authorization for SMS utilities are set "By router admin password".

Rule Overview and editing

---

Every default SMS rule can be edited to your liking. If none of the rules suit your purposes, just click the Edit button next to any SMS Utilities rules. This guide will contain information on editing every single SMS Utilities rule.

Above is an example of what SMS Configuration General and Authorization settings windows looks like, specifically, SMS Configuration for the Reboot rule. Below is a table with detailed explanations on how to configure the rule and what each of the fields mean. To avoid redundancy, screenshots for the other rules will not be provided, since the structures, syntax and the overall look of the configuration windows for each rule are very similar. Instead, only tables containing information on how to edit each rule will be provided.

Change mobile data settings (cellular) rule

---

The Change mobile data settings rule is exceptional to most of the other rules as it does not perform a single action like turning specific services On/Off or getting status updates. It designed to change mobile data settings and it's SMS text can't be described by a single string because the message depends on what configurations you want to change. For example, you can send a message that will change your APN only, you can send a message that will change APN and mobile service mode, or even a message that will change every single mobile setting.

FIELD NAME	DESCRIPTION	EXPLANATION, NOTES
Enable	This check box will enable or disable the Change mobile data settings function	Allows you to change mobile settings via SMS
Action	The action to be performed when this rule is met.	Changes the specified mobile settings
SMS text	SMS text that will trigger the rule	SMS text can contain letters, numbers, spaces and special symbols. Capital letters also matter. Default: cellular. Detailed explanations on how to use this function are presented in the table below
Authorization method	What kind of authorization to use for SIM management	Possible values: No authorization By serial By router admin password; Default: By router admin password
Allowed users	White list of allowed users	Possible values: From all numbers From group From single number; Default: From all numbers

The default SMS text for the Change mobile data settings rule is cellular but it is only an indication text and does not include any specific parameters to be changed. The list of parameters that can be changed and explanations on how to incorporate them into the "cellular" message is presented in the table below.

PARAMETER	VALUE	DESCRIPTION	DEFAULT MESSAGE EXAMPLE
apn=	e.g., internet	Sets APN	cellular apn=internet
dialnumber=	e.g., *99***1#	Sets Dialing number	cellular dialnumber=*99***1#
auth_mode=	none pap chap	Sets Authentication method	cellular auth_method=pap
service=	3gonly 4gonly auto	Sets the mobile Service mode	cellular service=auto
username=	e.g., user	Sets the user name for PAP or CHAP authentication	cellular username=user
password=	e.g., pass	Sets the password for PAP or CHAP authentication	cellular password=pass
roaming=	0 for OFF; 1 for ON	Turn Mobile data roaming ON or OFF	cellular roaming=0

Each of the above examples contain a single parameter but you can send out multiple parameters in one message. For example, "cellular apn=internet service=3gonly". This message would set your APN to "internet" and your Service mode to 3G Only. You can also send a message that would include all of the parameters above: "cellular apn=internet dialnumber=*99***1# auth_mode=pap service=3gonly username=user password=pass"

UCI API rule

SMS text	SMS text that will trigger the rule	SMS text can contain letters, numbers, spaces and special symbols. Capital letters also matterDetailed explanations on how to use this function are presented in the table below
Modem	Select which modem you want to use	Which modem is configured
Authorization method	What kind of authorization to use for SIM management	Possible values: No authorization | By serial | By router admin password; Default: By router admin password
Allowed users	White list of allowed users	Possible values: From all numbers | From group | From single number; Default: From all numbers

The following are syntax examples for the UCI API rule:

FIELD NAME	DESCRIPTION	EXPLANATION, NOTES
uci get config.section.option"	Returns config option value	uci get network.wan.ipaddr - returns the router's WAN IP address
uci set config.section.option="value"	Sets config option	"uci set network.mobile.apn=example" - Changes mobile APN to example
uci show config	Returns the contents of a config file	uci show openvpn - returns the contents of the openvpn config file
uci show config.section	Returns the exact part of a config file (either section or the exact option value)	uci show network.ppp - returns the contents of the ppp interface section from the network config file

As you can see, the UCI rule requires that you know the names of the configuration files and the names of the

sections and parameters that they hold. You can find the config file list and some examples of UCI usage in general in our UCI command usage article.

Custom Rules

---

If default rules do not suit your purposes, you can also configure custom SMS rules. To do so, go to the bottom of the SMS Utilities page, where you will find the Add Rule tab. Write SMS text, select an Action and press the Add button located next to it.

Delete mobile message	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/sms_delete?username=user1&password=user_pass&number=1

• 192.168.1.1 - router's IP address. (Replace it with your [[{{{name}}}_LAN#General_Setup|LAN IP]] or [[{{{name}}}_WAN#Operation_Modes|WAN IP]] (when connecting remotely))
• SMS related post/get commands. Possible values are:
  • sms_list - view all SMS messages in storage
  • sms_read - read a single SMS message by specified SMS index (number)
  • sms_send - send an SMS message to specified recipient
  • sms_total - display SMS storage statistics
  • sms_delete - delete a single SMS message by specified SMS index (number)

  Correct phone number format is:
  • 00 - number must be preceded by two zeros
  • <country_code> - the next following element is the number holder's country code
  • <receivers_number> - phone number of the recipient

         For example, a valid number would be 0037012345678 (370 is country code and 12345678 is the receiver's
         phone number, all preceded by 00)

Email To SMS Forwarding

Email to SMS Forwarding is a function that connects to your email account and checks its inbox at the specified frequency. If it finds any new received emails with a specific subject (phone number in email subject), it sends the body of the email as an SMS message(s) to the recipient specified in the email subject field.

Important note: all POP3 server email messages from inbox will be deleted when using this service. File:Networking rutos manual mobile utilties email to sms v1.png

Server port	integer [0..65535]; Default: none	Email service provider's POP3 server port (can be looked up online)
User name	string; Default: none	Email account user name. This is information is used by router in order to atuhenticate itself when connecting to the email client
Password	string; Default: none	Email account password. This is information is used by router in order to atuhenticate itself when connecting to the email client
Secure connection (SSL)	yes | no; Default: no	SSL is a protocol for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data − a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message
SMS limit	integer; Default: 5	Limit of SMS count that can be contained in the email body of text, SMS length is limited to 160 seven-bit characters. Emails that contain more symbols than it is specified in this field will not be sent as SMS messages
Check email every	time; Default: 1 minute	Email inbox check interval
Interval	Minutes | Hours| Days; Default: Minutes	Email inbox check interval

Additional note: you may have noticed that there is no option where you can specify the recipient's phone number. As mentioned earlier, Email to SMS doesn't forward all emails, only the ones that are meant to be forwarded. Only emails with the recipient's phone number in the subject will be forwarded to SMS

Correct phone number format is:

• 00 - number must be preceded by two zeros
• <country_code> - the next following element is the number holder's country code
• <receivers_number> - phone number of the recipient

For example, a valid number would be 0037012345678 (370 is country code and 12345678 is the receiver's phone number, all preceded by 00)

Call Utilities

Just like SMS Utilities, Call Utilities provide you with the possibility to issue certain commands to the router from your mobile phone. The list of possible rules is of course shorter because you can only make one type of call. Keep that in mind when creating Call Utilities rules because one call will trigger all of the enabled rules at once.

Call Configuration

To make a new rule, select what Action you want to make and press Add button.

Every Call rule can be edited to your liking, just click the Edit button. This guide will contain information on editing every single Call Utilities rule.
