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.
+
The <b>Change mobile settings</b> rule is used to change the configuration settings of the mobile data connection. The usage of this rule is a bit more complex because the SMS text in and of itself does nothing, as you must also specify the parameters and values that you wish to set. For example, you can send a message that will change your APN only or a message that will change multiple parameters at once.

Summary

{{{name}}} routers have an extensive amount of various SMS control utilities. SMS Utilities can be used to set/get configurations, monitor and issue commands to the router.

SMS Utilities

The SMS Utilities section contains a list of rules that perform certain actions when they are activated by SMS messages.

Networking rutos manual mobile utilities sms utilities sms rules.png

The entire list contains more than 20 rules, but it does not all possible SMS action. You can also create custom rules or modify existing rules. All possible SMS rule actions, their default SMS texts and descriptions are listed in the table below.

Action SMS Text Description
Change mobile settings cellular Is used to configure the device's mobile data connection. Click here for more information on this rule.
FW upgrade from server fw_upgrade Upgrades the device's firmware (provided a new version is available on the FOTA server).
Get list of profiles profdisp Sends a list of configuration profiles existing on the device.
GPS control gpson Turns GPS on.
GPS coordinates gps Sends the device's current GPS coordinates.
IP unblock ipunblock Unblocks Web/SSH access for devices that were blocked for too many unsuccessful connection attempts. Send the SMS text to unblock all blocked devices or include the IP address of a single blocked device after the SMS text. For example:
  • ipunblock - clears the block list (unblocks Web/SSH access for all previously blocked devices).
  • ipunblock 192.168.1.2 - removes this IP address from the block list (unblock Web/SSH access for that device).
Manage OpenVPN vpnon Turns a selected OpenVPN instance on. Include the name of the OpenVPN instance that you wish to turn on after the rule's SMS text:
  • vpnon client_name
  • vpnon server_name
Manage OpenVPN vpnoff Turns a selected OpenVPN instance off. Include the name of the OpenVPN instance that you wish to turn off after the rule's SMS text:
  • vpnoff client_name
  • vpnoff server_name
Mobile data limit status no default text Sends a status report message that includes data limit usage information for mobile network interfaces (that have [[{{{name}}}_Interfaces#Mobile_Data_Limit|Mobile Data Limit]] enabled)
Monitoring status monitoring_status Sends a status report message that includes the RMS connection type, state and the device serial number and MAC address.
More more Displays next part of a composite response message (more than 160 characters).
OpenVPN status vpnstatus Sends a status report message on all OpenVPN connections.
Reboot reboot Reboots the device.
Restore to default restore Restores factory settings on the device.
RMS action rms_on Turns RMS connection on.
RMS action rms_off Turns RMS connection off.
RMS connect rms_connect Forces the device to connect to RMS. This action is analogous to clicking the 'Connect' button in the Cloud Solutions → [[{{{name}}}_Cloud_Solutions#RMS|RMS page]].
RMS status rms_status Sends a status report message on the state of the connection to RMS.
Send status status Sends a status report message.
SSH access control sshon Turns remote and local (by default) SSH access on. This rule can be modified to only include local SSH access.
SSH access control sshoff Turns SSH access off.
Switch mobile data mobileon Turns mobile data usage on.
Switch mobile data mobileoff Turns mobile data usage off.
UCI API uci Is used to change the configuration settings on the device. #UCI_API_rule for more information on the UCI API rule.
Wake on LAN wakeup Sends a magic packet that "wakes up" a specified device from standby mode. If you have multiple Wake-on-LAN-capable devices, you will have to create a separate rule with a different SMS text for each one. Configuration for each device must include the MAC address of that device.
Web access control webon Turns remote and local (by default) HTTP and HTTPS access on. This rule can be modified to only include local HTTP/HTTPS access.
Web access control weboff Turns HTTP and HTTPS access off. This rule can also modified to turn of either HTTP or HTTPS separately.

SMS rule execution syntax


To execute an SMS rule, send an SMS message to your device's SIM card number with the rule's SMS Text preceded by the selected authorization keyword, which depends on the selected authorization method:

  • No authorization - no special keyword required; simply send a rule's SMS Text. For example, to execute the reboot rule without authorization:
    reboot
  • By serial - include the device's serial number before a rule's SMS Text. For example, to execute the iostatus rule with serial authorization:
    1111111111 iostatus
    (replace 1111111111 with your device's serial number)
  • By device admin password - include the device's password before a rule's SMS Text. For example, to execute the vpnon rule with password authorization:
    admin01 vpnon
    (replace admin01 with your device's admin password)

Modify SMS Rule


Every SMS rule can be edited to your liking. To begin configuring a rule, click the click the 'Edit' button located next to it:

Networking rutos manual mobile utilities sms utilities edit button.png

After this you should redirected to configuration page for that rule. Below are examples of what the configuration page for the reboot rule looks like.

General settings


Networking rutos manual mobile utilities sms utilities modify sms rule general.png

  1. The Enable slider turn the rule on or off. In order to use a rule, this slider must be set to 'on'. By default, all existing SMS rules are turned on.
  2. The Action dropdown selection specifies which action should be performed when the rule is executed.
  3. The SMS text field specifies the text that will trigger the rule upon receiving a message.
  4. The Get status via SMS after reboot slider specifies whether the device should send a status report message after an action is executed. The name of this slider may differ from rule to rule and it is only available for some rules.
  5. The Send status SMS to other number slider specifies whether the device should send a status report message to another number (besides the original sender). Setting this slider to 'on' will prompt you to enter an additional phone number(s) of the status message recipient(s).
  6. The Message text box is used to modify the text that should be included in an SMS rule's response message.

Authorization


Networking rutos manual mobile utilities sms utilities modify sms rule authorization.png

  1. The Authorization method dropdown selection specifies the type of authorization an SMS rule requires (device admin password, serial number or none).
  2. The Allowed number(s) dropdown selection specifies who can execute an SMS rule (based on phone number).

Most rules are configured in a similar manner. However, the configuration does differ from rule to rule, depending on a rule's purpose (selected 'Action'). If you run into trouble when configuring a rule, hover your mouse cursor over the name of a field to see a hint that explains what that field does.

Change mobile settings (cellular) rule


The Change mobile settings rule is used to change the configuration settings of the mobile data connection. The usage of this rule is a bit more complex because the SMS text in and of itself does nothing, as you must also specify the parameters and values that you wish to set. For example, you can send a message that will change your APN only or a message that will change multiple parameters at once.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_mobile_utilities_sms_utilities_modify_sms_rule_cellular_dualsim_{{{dualsim}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Below is the full list of parameters that can be changed with this rule.

Parameter Description SMS text example
apn= Sets APN cellular apn=internet
dialnumber= e.g., *99***1# Sets Dialing number cellular dialnumber=*99***1#
auth_mode= Sets the authentication method. Possible values are:
  • none
  • pap
  • chap
cellular auth_method=pap
service= Sets the service mode. Possible values are:
  • 3gonly
  • 4gonly
  • auto
cellular service=auto
username= Sets the user name for PAP or CHAP authentication. cellular username=user
password= Sets the password for PAP or CHAP authentication. cellular password=pass
roaming= Turns mobile data roaming on or off. Possible values are:
  • 0 - for off.
  • 1 - for on.
cellular roaming=0

Each example above contains a single parameter but you can also send out multiple parameters in one message. For example:

cellular apn=internet service=3gonly

This message would set your APN to "internet" and the service mode of the mobile connection 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 roaming=0

UCI API rule


The UCI API rule is used to configure any parameters on the device. The following are syntax examples for the UCI API rule:

Example structure Description Example SMS text
uci get <config>.<section>.<option_name> Returns the value of a single configuration option. uci get network.wan.ipaddr - returns the router's WAN IP address.
uci set <config>.<section>.<option_name>="value" Sets the value of a specified configuration option. uci set network.mobile.apn=example - changes mobile APN value 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 (section) of a config file. uci show network.lan - returns the configuration of the "lan" section from the "network" config file.
uci delete <config>.<section> Deletes the specified section in a configuration file. To avoid operation issues, please use this command to delete optional configuration sections only (not mandatory ones). uci delete network.lan4 - deletes a network interface called "lan4".
uci delete <config>.<section>.<option_name> Deletes the specified configuration option. To avoid operation issues, please use this command to delete optional configuration options only (not mandatory ones). uci delete dhcp.lan.force - deletes the "force" option for DHCP server of the "lan" interface (which in turn disables the "Force DHCP" function of that DHCP server).

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.

Networking rutos manual mobile utilities sms utilities add rule.png

Configuring a new rule is very similar to editing default rules: you are provided with a list of Actions, other fields are generated in accordance with which Action you choose.

SMS Gateway

This section provides a summary of the SMS Gateway functions for {{{name}}} devices.

Post/Get


Post/Get allows you to perform action requests by writing them in the URL after your device’s IP address.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_mobile_utilities_sms_gateway_post_get_dualmodem_{{{dualmodem}}}.png]]

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Enable SMS management functionality through POST/GET
User name default: user1 User name used for authorization (5 characters minimum). Allowed characters (a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%&*+-/=?^_`{|}~. )
Password default: user_pass Password used for authorization (5 characters minimum). Allowed characters (a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%&*+-/=?^_`{|}~. )

Use a web browser or any other compatible software to send HTTP post/get strings to the router. The router must be connected to a GSM network when using the Send SMS feature. Below you will find a table with possible actions and examples on how to use them:

  • 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)
  • & - separation symbol. After specifying the SMS command, other parameters must be separated by an ampersand (&) symbol
  • username - SMS post/get configuration user name
  • password - SMS post/get configuration password
  • number - SMS message index or (depending on context) recipient's phone number. SMS message indexes can be viewed with the sms_list command.
    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)
    
  • text - SMS message text

To use Post/Get via SSH instead of a browser, you may want to use the curl -X command. Simply add the same URL command in between quotes and specify the HTTP method.

Examples:

  • View SMS list:
    curl -X GET "http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/sms_list?username=user1&password=user_pass"
  • Send SMS:
    curl -X GET "http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/sms_send?username=user1&password=user_pass&number=0037000000000&text=testmessage"

    Important note: all POP3 server email messages from inbox will be deleted when using this service.

    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 Rules


    To create a new rule, select an 'Action' and click the 'Add' button. The new rule will appear in the 'Call Rules' list. Click the 'Edit' button next to it to configure the rule.

    Networking rutos manual mobile utilities call utilities edit button.png

    Then you should be redirected to that rule's configuration page. The Call Configuration window is similar to SMS Configuration but less complex.

    Networking rutos manual mobile utilities call utilities call configuration general.png

    Call Configuration also has similar Authorization settings.

    Networking rutos manual mobile utilities call utilities call configuration authorization.png

    Messages

    With the help of the Messages window you can read and send SMS messages.

    Read SMS


    In the Read SMS tab you can read and delete received/stored SMS messages. The layout is simple, there is a list of received SMS messages and you can choose how many entries of that list should be visible at one time with SMS per page drop box in the top left corner of the page and there is a Search field to help you navigate more efficiently through the list of messages in the top right corner of the page.

    Send Messages


    The Send Messages tab let's you send SMS messages from the router‘s SIM card.

    [[File:Networking_rutos_manual_mobile_utilities_messages_send_messages_dualmodem_{{{dualmodem}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

    All you have to do is enter the recipient’s phone number, type in your message and hit the Send button.

    Storage


    In the Storage tab you can find settings associated with message storage.

    [[File:Networking_rutos_manual_mobile_utilities_messages_storage_dualmodem_{{{dualmodem}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

    Field Value Description
