LTE/GSM modem troubleshooting

Diagnostic task

This test requires the RBRcervello to have an activated SIM-card installed in the LTE/GSM modem as described in Telemetry. If LTE/GSM is not going to be used in this deployment, this test can be omitted.

After finishing the previous test, wait for the "RBRcervello>" prompt to appear again. Type "diagnose gsm" and press enter. The LTE/GSM test will wait for any ongoing communication to finish and will diagnose the connection to the internet via the LTE/GSM modem.
