Sample Application Descriptions

• 5GSpeed
  • Run Ookla speedtests via NCM API. Results are put in asset_id field (configurable in SDK Data). Clearing the results starts a new test. This can be done easily via NCM API v2 /routers/ endpoint.
• app_template
  • A template for the creation of a new application utilizing the csclient library.
• app_holder
  • Just a holder for dynamic_app. See dynamic_app.
• appdata_sample
  • Store and retrieve settings in SDK Appdata in configuration.
• Autoinstall
  • Automatically choose fastest SIM on install. On bootup, AutoInstall detects SIMs, and ensures (clones) they have unique WAN profiles for prioritization. Then the app collects diagnostics and runs Ookla speedtests on each SIM. Then the app prioritizes the SIMs WAN Profiles by TCP download speed. Results are written to the log, set as the description field, and sent as a custom alert. The app can be manually triggered again by clearing out the description field in NCM.
• Installer_UI
  • Provide a web interface for installers to configure WiFi and run speedtests.
• Mobile_Site_Survey
  • Robust Site Survey app with cloud aggregating and reporting via 5g-ready.io
• app_template_csclient
  • A template for the creation of a new application utilizing the csclient library.
• cli_sample
  • Includes csterm module that enables access to local CLI to send commands and return output.
• client_rssi_monitor
  • Gets the mac address and rssi of connected wlan clients and puts them in the asset_id field.
• cp_shell
  • Web interface for running linux shell commands.
• cpu_usage
  • Gets cpu and memory usage information from the router every 30 seconds and writes a csv file to a usb stick formatted in fat32.
• dynamic_app

• daily_speedtest
  • Runs an ookla speedtest daily at configured hours and put results to user defined field (asset_id).
• ftp_client
  • Creates a file and uploads it to an FTP server.
• ftp_server
  • Creates an FTP server in the device. A USB memory device is used as the FTP directory.
• geofences
  • Send alert when entering or exiting geofences. Configure geofences in SDK app data after loading app.

  • This app will log the python version and modules in the device. It is intended to help with app development to show the python environment within the device.
• rate_limit
  • Enable QoS rule 1 until datacap alert is met then toggle to rule 2.
• rproxy
  • A reverse proxy similar to port forwarding, except traffic forwarded to a
    udp/tcp target will be sourced from the router's IP. This reverse proxy can
    be dynamically added to clients as they connect.
• shell_sample
  • Provides example how to execute commands at OS shell: "ls - al".

Data is sent to the application and is echoed back to the client over the serial port. A LAN device is connected and communicates with the router via port 5556. When the vibration test is running, the LAN client will be notified if the serial cable is disconnected or connected.

  • Upon any Modem interface reaching 100% of the monthly data capacity limit, manual QoS will be enabled globally and bandwidth throttling will be enforced on ALL Modem profiles to the configured limit (minbwup and minbwdown variables).
• throttle_cellular_datacap_rate_tiered
  • Upon any Modem interface reaching 70, 80, 90 or 100% of the monthly data capacity limit, manual QoS will be enabled globally and bandwidth throttling will be enforced on ALL Modem profiles to the configured limit as set by the rate tier (minbwup and minbwdown variables).

This is version 2.0 of the Router SDK and applications. The SDK has been simplified from the previous SDK to decrease the learning curve to allow more focus on application development. The router application infrastructure and packaging is unchanged. That is, an 'tar.gz' application package built with the previous SDK can still be installed into the router using SDK version 2.0. However, the coding of an application version 1.0 may need to be re-factored in order for continued development with SDK version 2.0.
