To check signal parameters Mobile Information section, which is located in '''Status -> Network -> Mobile'''. The Mobile Information window contains information about your mobile connection. Concerning signal quality, it displays Signal Strength ('''RSSI'''), '''RSRP''', '''RSRQ''' and '''SINR''' for LTE, Signal Strength ('''RSSI'''), '''EC/IO''' and '''RSCP''' for 3G and Signal Strength ('''RSSI''') for 2G.

 

 

To get more detail about signal quality, you may want to check the Mobile Information section, which is located in '''Status -> Network -> Mobile'''.

You can also find out the router's signal strength by checking the Signal Strength LEDs on the front panel of your router. This will not provide you with a numeric value of signal strength. The LEDs indicate '''RSSI''' value in bar form (similar to a cell phone)

'''''gsmctl''''' commands concerning signal quality:

*'''''gsmctl -q''''' - returns the current '''RSSI''' value (available with all services modes)

*'''''gsmctl -q''''' - returns current signal values.

CLI (Command Line Interface) allows you to enter and execute commands into the router's terminal. CLI can be found in the '''Services''' section ('''Services -> CLI'''). The default Username for logging into CLI is '''root''' and the password is your router's password (default: '''admin01'''). Once you've logged in you should be greeted by a window like this:

====SSH====

====SSH====

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. If you are using a Linux type Operating System, login to a RUT router via SSH through the Terminal app. If you are using Windows, you will need to download an app to login via SSH, for example, '''PuTTY'''.

If you are using a Linux type Operating System, login to a RUT router via SSH through the Terminal app. If you are using Windows, you will need to download an app to login via SSH, for example, '''PuTTY'''.

The login sequence is very similar to CLI, except you will also need to specify the router's LAN address. The login string on a Linux based OS should like this: '''ssh ''username''@''routers_lan'''''. After this you will be prompted to enter the router's password (default: '''admin01'''). The login string to a default RUT device would look like this: '''ssh [email protected]''' with the password being '''admin01'''.

To login via SSH using PuTTY on a Windows OS, open the PuTTY app, where you will be required to enter your router's LAN IP address in the '''Host name (or IP address)''' field. Below is an example of how it looks

Once you've entered your router's LAN IP address, click the '''Open''' button after which you will be greeted with a similar window to CLI, where you will prompted to enter a user name (default: '''root''') and password (default: '''admin01'''). After this you can start using '''''gsmctl''''' commands in an identical manner to CLI.
