Objective
One useful feature of the Siretta Industrial Router family is that they can be remotely configured to perform basic functions. This includes connecting/disconnecting from the network and rebooting the router remotely via SMS to resolve stale TCP connections or loss of PDP context.
Please note that the router can normally manage this procedure automatically but sometimes it may be necessary to intervene manually.
Solution
Router Configuration
- Open the Management portal interface of the router (GUI).
- Select ‘Basic Network’ option from GUI.
- Select ‘Cellular’ tab.
- Enter a value to authenticate the SMS command to the router. (This prevents potential false triggering of the command).
- Enter the validation text into the SMS password / SMS Code field. For this example, we have entered 123456 in SMS password (SMS Code) field.
- Click ‘Save’ button.
- Wait for the changes to be saved.
- The router is now configured to receive SMS commands.
- You can now send a command SMS message from your mobile phone or SMS service gateway server to the registered phone number of the SIM installed in the Siretta Industrial Router using format below.
10. Once you have sent your command SMS to the router you should observe that the router will perform the requested action.
NOTE: You will not receive a notification SMS from the router to confirm your requested action.
