# Mode button with multiple presses

[◀ Go back to main README](https://doc.i4e.com.bd/networking/master)

## Description

This script extend the functionality of mode button. Instead of just one you can trigger several actions by pressing the mode button several times.

The hardware needs to have a mode button, see `/ system routerboard mode-button`. Starting with RouterOS 6.47beta60 you can configure the reset button to act the same, see `/ system routerboard reset-button`.

Copy this code to terminal to check:

```
:if ([ :len [ /system routerboard mode-button print as-value ] ] > 0) do={
  :put "Mode button is supported.";
} else={
  :if ([ :len [ /system routerboard reset-button print as-value ] ] > 0) do={
    :put "Mode button is not supported, but reset button is.";
  } else={
    :put "Neither mode button nor reset button is supported.";
  }
}
```

## Requirements and installation

Just install the script:

```
$ScriptInstallUpdate mode-button;
```

Then configure the mode button to run `mode-button`:

```
/ system routerboard mode-button set enabled=yes on-event="/ system script run mode-button;";
```

To use the reset button instead:

```
/ system routerboard reset-button set enabled=yes on-event="/ system script run mode-button;";
```

## Configuration

The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, these are the parameters:

* `ModeButton`: an array with defined actions
* `ModeButtonLED`: led to give visual feedback

## Usage and invocation

Press the mode button. :)
