To get the most detailed information about your signal quality values you can use '''''gsmctl''''' commands when logged in via '''CLI''' or '''SSH'''.
To get the most detailed information about your signal quality values you can use '''''gsmctl''''' commands when logged in via '''CLI''' or '''SSH'''.
'''''gsmctl''''' commands are designed to get information from your router's modem. The user sends a '''''gsmctl''''' command to the router; the router then converts that command to an '''AT''' and sends it to the modem; the modem responds with the requested information, which the router then translates to the information that you have requested.

*'''''gsmctl -E''''' - returns the current '''EC/IO''' value (only with 3G)
*'''''gsmctl -E''''' - returns the current '''EC/IO''' value (only with 3G)
*'''''gsmctl -X''''' - returns the current '''RSCP''' value (only with 3G)
*'''''gsmctl -X''''' - returns the current '''RSCP''' value (only with 3G)
*'''''gsmctl -h''''' - provides you with a list of all possible '''''gsmctl''''' commands
====CLI====
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====
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'''.
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.
