The G-router answered the incoming call, call in progress 

Hyper Active Flashing 
(50ms on/50ms off) 

Error connecting to GSM network, network can not be found 
or no network coverage. 

 

 Please note:

 When the unit is being upgraded with new software the GSM LED is steady 

flashing. Do not unplug the unit whilst upgrading. 
 

6.4  Call status LED 

The green call status LED indicates if there is a GSM call ongoing. When there is no call the LED 
will  be  off. Once a  GSM call  is  in  progress,  i.e.  someone  has  contact with  the  modem  over  the 
GSM network the LED will be lit. 
 

6.5  GPRS status LED 

The green GPRS status LED indicates when the G-router has successfully connected to the GPRS 
network of the GSM operator. When there is no GPRS coverage possible the LED will be off. 
 

6.6  Relay status LED 

The  G-router  already  has  a  relay  status  LED  but  NO  relay  contact  is  present  in  the  current 
hardware.  Please  note  that  the  relay  itself  will  be  placed  upon  the  following  release  of  the 
hardware.  This  relay  can  be  used  to  reset  the  remote  WAN  by  disconnecting  the  mains  power 
supply. In other words, the WAN router can be remotely power cycled. 
 
The relay is activated from the command line using the 

toggle_relay

 command. The command 

itself gives helpful in formation when you type 

toggle_relay –h

.  

 
As an example: 
 

root@G-router-00804855565C:~$ toggle_relay -h 
usage: toggle_relay 
 
  -t <timeout>  Toggle delay 
  -c                    Close contact (device off) 
  -f                    Open contact (device on) 

-h                    Show this help 
 

 
To toggle the relay to initiate a power cycle you give the following command: 
 

root@G-router-00804855565C:~$ toggle_relay 

 
In which case the relay is activated for 5 seconds. Other timeout values can be specified on the 
command line by specifying a timeout value (in seconds) behind the command 
 
 
Permanently activating the relay is done as follows: 
 

root@G-router-00804855565C:~$ toggle_relay -c 

 
 
Permanently de-activating the relay is done as follows: 
 

root@G-router-00804855565C:~$ toggle_relay -f
