==Summary==
The command set consists of a series of short text strings which can be combined to produce commands for operations such as dialing, managing SMS functions, and changing the parameters of the connection. Many of the commands that are used to control wired dial-up modems, such as ATD (Dial), ATA (Answer), ATH (Hook control) and ATO (Return to online data state), are also supported by GSM/GPRS modems and mobile phones. This section is an overview of some AT commands that can be used with RUT routers.

To log in to a RUT router via SSH, download the free '''PuTTY''' app if you're using Windows; if you're using a Linux based OS, just use the Terminal app. In both cases you will need to know three things: the router's LAN IP address, user name and password. The default LAN IP address for all RUT routers is '''192.168.1.1'''; the default log in information is username: '''root'''; password: '''admin01''' (NOTE: the user name used for SSH connections (i.e., root) is not the same as the user name used to log in to the router's WebUI (i.e., admin)).

The syntax for a gsmctl command is '''gsmctl OPTIONS'''. A list possible '''gsmctl''' options is provided below:
-e, --bsent <INTERFACE> Get number of bytes sent
-r, --brecv <INTERFACE> Get number of bytes recieved
-j, --connstate Get mobile connection state
-P, --psstate Get package domain service state
-g, --netstate Get network link state
-C, --cellid Get cell id parameter
-o, --operator Get name of operator used
-f, --opernum Get operator number
-t, --conntype Get data carrier type
-F --network Get network information
-K --serving Get serving cell information
-I --neighbour Get neighbour cell information
-v, --volte_state VoLTE state status
-b, --band Print current band
-q, --signal Get signal levels
'''modem commands:'''
-A, --at <cmd> Execute AT command.
-i, --imei Get device IMEI
-a, --serial Get modem serial number
-J, --iccid Get SIM ICCID
-m, --model Get device model
-w, --manuf Get device manufacturer
-y, --firmware Get device revision number
-x, --imsi Get IMSI
-z, --simstate Get SIM card state
-u, --pinstate Get PIN state
-H, --modemtime <1/2> Get operator station time(1 - GMT, 2 - LOCAL)
-c, --temp Get module temperature in 0.1 degrees Celcius
-B, --pincount Get pin/puk count
-E, --info Get modem info in json format
-U --ussd <command> The command allows control of the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data. (response saved in /tmp/ussd file)
-Y --switch Switch sim card for modem
-Q, --reboot Reboot the modem
'''sms managing options:'''
-S -r, --sms --read <INDEX> Read SMS by index
-S -R, --sms --pdu_read <INDEX> Read PDU by index
-S -l, --sms --list <TYPE> List SMS by type [all, read, new]
-S -t, --sms --total Print SMS memory usage
-S -d, --sms --delete <INDEX> Delete SMS by index
-S -Z, --sms --pdu_delete <INDEX> Delete PDU by index
-S -s, --sms --send "<NUMBER> <TEXT>"Send SMS. IMPORTANT! Number and text must be within quotes
'''auxilary options:'''
-O, --modem <USB_ID> Set MODEM by USB_ID(3-1, 1-1.4 etc.)
-N, --num <MODEM_NUM> Set MODEM by modem number(0 - 12)
-D, --debug Enable debug information
You can view this list via terminal by typing '''gsmctl -h''' or '''gsmctl --help'''.
For example, try using ''gsmctl -q'' to get the current signal levels value in dBm. You can also combine options. For example, ''gsmctl -oqt'':
[[File:Gsmctl q.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|457x228px]]
Unlike '''gsmctl -q''', '''gsmctl -oqt''' returns three options: operator's name, signal levels, carrier, and operator type, as you can see in the example above.
==AT command usage==
To use a specific AT command via SSH, you can use the ''gsmctl -H''. After this your console will enter shell mode where you can then just type AT commands in their regular format. Or you can use ''gsmctl -A <AT_COMMAND>'' to execute AT commands one at a time. Continuing from the example above, lets say you want to find out the RSSI value. While there are quite a few commands that can be used to achieve this goal, lets use the '''AT+CSQ''' that is used when executing ''gsmctl -q'':
[[File:Gsmctl A.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|441x84px]]
As you can see this time the command returns two values instead of one, and they don't directly represent the RSSI value as with ''gsmctl -q''. The reason for this is that AT+CSQ indicates the received signal strength '''<rssi>''' and the channel bit error rate '''<ber>''' and the numbers returned are not the direct values but rather the representation of the direct values.
<rssi>
0 -113dBm or less
1 -111dBm
2...30 -109dBm... -53dBm
31 -51dBm or greater
99 Not known or not detectable
100 -116dBm or less
101 -115dBm
102...190 -114dBm...-26dBm
191 -25dBm or greater
199 Not known or not detectable
100~199 Extended to be used in TD-SCDMA indicating received signal code power (RSCP)
<ber> Channel bit error rate (in percent)
0...7 As RXQUAL values in the table in 3GPP TS 45.008 subclause 8.2.4
99 Not known or not detectable
So the response above indicates that the RSSI value is '''-75 dBm''' (because that's what 19 represents since it falls in the 2..30 range) and the channel bit error rate is '''Not known or not detectable''' (because that's what 99 represents).
----
As another example, lets try to get network operator information. For this task you can use either '''gsmctl -o''' or '''AT+COPS?'''. For this example we'll use them both and analyze the differences:
[[File:Gsmctl COPS.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|439x120px]]
[[File:Gsmctl usage.png]]
As you can see, ''gsmctl'' returns a more user friendly value while ''AT+COPS?'' returns raw data. The response format of the ''AT+COPS?'' is '''+COPS: <mode>[,<format>[,<oper>][,<Act>]]'''. Explanations for individual values are provided below.
<oper> Operator in format as per <mode>
<mode>
0 Automatic mode. <oper> field is ignored
1 Manual operator selection. <oper> field shall be present and <Act> optionally
2 Manually deregister from network
3 Set only <format> (for AT+COPS? Read Command), and do not attempt registration/deregistration (<oper> and <Act> fields are ignored).
This value is invalid in the response of Read Command
4 Manual/automatic selection. <oper> field shall be presented. If manual selection fails, automatic mode (<mode>=0) is entered
<format>
0 Long format alphanumeric <oper> which can be up to 16 characters long
1 Short format alphanumeric <oper>
2 Numeric <oper>. GSM location area identification number
<Act> Access technology selected.
Values 3, 4, 5 and 6 occur only in the response of Read Command while MS is in data service state and is not intended for the AT+COPS Write Command.
0 GSM
2 UTRAN
3 GSM W/EGPRS
4 UTRAN W/HSDPA
5 UTRAN W/HSUPA
6 UTRAN W/HSDPA and HSUPA
7 E-UTRAN
100 CDMA
Instead of the operator's name, ''AT+COPS?'' returns operator's code, in this case, '''24602''', while gsmctl converts the code into the name of the operator (LT BITE GSM).
