The Application Programmable Interface (API) allows you to create your own custom interface with
the router. You can control certain features such as Home Automation, as well as manage SMS
messaging.

To enable the API please do the following.
LAN Access:
Go to System-> Remote Management
Click Enable LAN management
Click API Over LAN
Click GPS Over LAN
WAN Access:
Go to System-> Remote Management
Click Enable WAN management
Enter the IP address or hostname of the trusted client or check 'all' to enable WAN access for any
client. Tick in the API, HOME and SMS -boxes for Home Automation and SMS access for the
client.
Do not forget to reboot the router after activating the API.

The API operates on port 6435.
To connect you can for example, type in the following within a console:
telnet 192.168.0.1 6435 (or change 192.168.0.1 to the IP of your router).
