'''JSON-RPC''' is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON. It is a very simple protocol (and very similar to XML-RPC), defining only a few data types and commands. JSON-RPC allows for notifications (data sent to the server that does not require a response) and for multiple calls to be sent to the server which may be answered out of order. This is guide on how to use JSON-RPC on RUT230, RUT240, RUT850, RUT950 and RUT955 routers.

To login to the router via JSON-RPC you will need software capable of sending requests to the router. The simplest solution is to install an add-on similar to Firefox’s '''“Poster”''': '''https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/poster/'''. Once you've installed this add-on, you can launch by opening the Mozilla Firefox browser and pressing '''Ctrl+Alt+p'''.
