Gsmctl commands

From Teltonika Networks Wiki

Introduction

gsmctl is an SSH command used to communicate with a RUTxxx router's modem. In other words, gsmctl relays AT commands (a set of instructions used to control a modem) to the router's modem; thus, providing the user with a way to control and obtain information from the modem via SSH. This can be used to either obtain certain modem related variables (signal strength, operator, connection state, etc.) or to execute certain actions (sending SMS messages, changing the frequency band, etc.).

This article provides a complete overview on gsmctl commands available in RUTxxx routers.
