SMS Commands
Below is a list of supported SMS messages and the syntax format.
Due to security concerns, the set of commands are intentionally limited to those that can configure a modem’s connection, but
cannot lock the administrator out due to malicious modem changes. Therefore, if an unsolicited request adjusts the modem’s
configuration via SMS, an administrator can still access the modem via SMS.
Command syntax: <password>,<command>,[arg1,][arg2,]
All commands start with the password – either the default of the last 8 digits of the router's MAC address or the administrator-
configured password. Commands can have an optional number of arguments.
NOTE: The trailing comma on the command is important to allow the SMS engine to distinguish the final argument from other information the SMS client
might append to the message without your knowledge.
SUPPORTED COMMANDS:
reboot: Reboot the router (not the modem)
• Syntax: <password>,reboot,
• Example: 1234,reboot,
restore: Restore the router to factory defaults
• Syntax: <password>,restore,
• Example: 1234,restore,
rstatus: Get router status
• Syntax: <password>,rstatus,
• Example: 1234,rstatus,
This command returns info about the router along with the port names for ports with attached modems. These port names may
be helpful for using the commands that follow.
