# zlt: MTN ZLT T10D MAX router API reconstruction

> zlt reconstructs the LAN JSON API of the MTN ZLT T10D MAX router from its served JavaScript and observed responses. Its Python client handles reqproc requests, login and CSRF behavior, while a CLI and local dashboard expose signal, network mode, SMS and USSD operations. The protocol document identifies firmware-specific fields and porting limits.
