Simple system voltage query

AirLink Routers
1

I want to write a simple python script that will query the system voltage from a list of RV50X routers over the internet. What is the simplest interface that could be leveraged for this?

Hi @drew.lindow,

If you want to develop an app, please refer to the ALEOS Application Framework at the following link: https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/aleos_af/aleos_af_home/#sthash.4WnNBSl4.dpbs

Thanks,

Deploying a complete app is more complexity than its worth just to get the modem’s voltage. Is it possible to query the voltage using existing ALEOS or AirVantage functionality?

Hi @drew.lindow,

You can do the following:

  1. Set the USB Device Mode to USB Serial
  2. Check if the port appears in Device Manager, then use Putty or Tera Term to connect to the port
    at_port
  3. Send the command “AT*POWERIN?” to query the voltage

You can refer to the details about USB Device Mode and the query voltage command on pages 132 and 535 of the AirLink RV50X Software Configuration Guide at the following link: https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software_reference_docs/airlink-rv-series---configuration-guide/#sthash.o1wy3J0s.dpbs

Thanks for your help @jerdung,
Is it possible to send AT commands over the internet? Maybe SSH, telnet, a REST API, etc?

Hi @drew.lindow,

Please refer to section AT (Telnet/SSH) on page 244 of the ALEOS 4.17.1 Software Configuration User Guide for AirLink RV50X — the document I mentioned above — for using the Telnet or SSH protocol to connect to any AirLink router and send AT commands.

Thanks,
