3G Power/Data LEDs Settings & Commands


Overview

Every Just Add Power 3G devices on justOS firmware has a Power LED and a Data LED whose behaviors are diagnostically relevant and editable.

Default LED behavior can be referenced in the Power & Data Lights Troubleshooting Section

This article deals with Commands - instant changes to behavior.

For information on Settings - changes that affect boot-up default behavior - please see the 3G Device Settings article


Access

All Settings & Commands should be entered via the Command Line Interface accessible via:

  • Telnet to the IP of the unit, at port 23
  • RS232
    • White, 3-pin molex connector on the bottom of the unit. Make or request a Debug Cable to access.
    • 115200-8n1 baud rate

Settings must be saved via the webUI or by sending astparam save followed by a reboot
