Getting and Setting System Variables

Use pshell to read or change modem system variables directly from the command prompt.

Getting a Variable​

Enter a variable name without a value to display its current setting.

For example, display the current payload mode:

PayloadMode

Display the current transmit-power setting:

TxPower

Setting a Variable​

Enter the variable name followed by the new value.

For example, set the payload mode to 1:

PayloadMode 1

Set the transmit-power setting to 4:

TxPower 4

Verifying a Setting​

After changing a variable, enter its name again without a value to confirm the current setting:

PayloadMode 1
PayloadMode

Displaying Help​

Use help followed by the variable name to display available information or supported values:

help PayloadMode
note

Variable names and supported values are case-sensitive and may vary with the installed modem software version. Use pshell help before changing an unfamiliar variable.
