Mobile Parameters to HTTP Server

Introduction

Mobile parameters are needed to measure signal features that can be acquired using gsmctl commands. However, there is no available command to check/display all of the desired details.

With that said, a custom script is needed to show them using one command. This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to write the script, programs that are required, and how to run it.
