Access to the CLI (Command Line Interface) – this can be achieved:
Through the serial port @115200 bps
Via a telnet or SSH connection
Via the "execute a command" page of the web user interface.
And issue the following command:
modemstat ?
Check that the signal strength is roughly what you normally get (+/- 10dB) with the same antenna in
the test location.
If the signal strength is much worse than normal, make a note of the cell ID (lac:FFFE ci:19FF701 in
above example) and repeat the test on a known working WR31 that contains the same type of radio
