Modem
On the Modem->Modem Settings page, you will be able to insert all the valid
inputs in order to access the internet via your mobile operator. There are several
relevant bits of information which are necessary in order to complete this task
successfully:
• APN (Access Point Name). If you are not sure what your mobile operator’s
APN is, please contact them or check with your modem manual.
• PIN code.This is your PIN code provided with your SIM card which resides in
your USB modem.
• Username & Password: Some operators may require you to insert a username
and password along with APN information in order to authenticate towards
the mobile network. If you haven’t been provided this, then using only an APN
might be sufficient. If not, then please contact your operator.

The following scenarios should assist you in enabling your router for Internet access,
depending on which type of USB modem you have inserted into the router.
If your scenario is not available in this guide, then please visit
www.dovado.com/support for latest update.
Once the information has been inserted, the unit will automatically try
to establish a connection to the operator’s network.A solid green light on the
Internet LED indicates a successful connection.
Note: Mobile operators typically have an Access Point Name (APN) as the key
relevant point of entry towards the mobile broadband network. Make sure to have
the name of your APN in advance of configuring your USB modem. If you are
using any other technology besides GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or HSPA, you might
not require an APN.

Connection Status Overview Bar
Atop of the user interface, a bar displays an overview of your Internet connection.
This information sits outside the security zone of your router, and does not need
to be accessed via an authorized login, thus saving time on checking the connec-
tion status.
The Connection Status Overview Bar shows the following information:
Date: Synchronized with a DOVADO NTP (Network Time Protocol) server
upon each new successful Internet connection.
Time: Displayed in a 24-hour format (HH:MM). In case the displayed time is
incorrect, you can set the time-zone in the SYSTEM->NTP page.
Signal: The latest measurement gathered by the USB modem upon connection is
displayed in a percentage value, along with the technology (2G, 3G or 4G).
The value is only updated after initiating a new connection.
Connection: Indicates whether your current Internet connection is via the inser-
ted USB modem or via an Ethernet WAN port. This is useful if your router has
been configured to perform automated failovers between one dropped Internet
connection to a secondary (backup) connection.
Connection Indicator: Green color indicates that the DOVADO router is con-
nected to the Internet via a USB modem. Red color indicates that it is discon-
nected from the Internet.
Traffic: Quickly displaying this month’s Internet consumption in gigabytes (GB)
on the downlink and uplink of both Internet interfaces (USB modem and Ether-
net WAN).

Data Traffic Usage Report
It is possible to keep track of how much Internet traffic is consumed each new
calendar month.A log is also held for the previous month.The chart displays how
much data has been downloaded as well as uploaded per Internet interface, be it a
USB modem or Ethernet WAN port. A total is also calculated for the month per
interface. As these figures are automatically updated every few minutes, a forced
update can be manually requested by pushing the Update button.

Reference Manual 9
Notification of Data Traffic Usage
Upon enabling this feature, the router can send you an SMS and/or E-Mail
notification after a certain amount of data has been consumed by your Internet
connection. It will then continuously update each time it passes that interval, thus
providing you with an overview of your monthly data consumption.
The router can alert you after every 100MB, 250MB, 500MB and 1000MB of
downloaded or totally accumulated bi-directional traffic passed during the calen-
dar month.
Note: By using your USB modem directly in the computer, the router will only be
able to display the amount of data the router itself has consumed when the USB
modem is inserted into it. It will not display what the USB modem has consumed;
therefore, to acquire the most accurate accumulated figures, please contact your
Internet service operator.
To enable notification by SMS, go to SMS->REMOTE CONTROL, and select the
Traffic Limit Reached, located under Notification SMS.
To enable notification by E-Mail, go to SYSTEM->E-Mail, and enter your E-
Mail account configuration.
Then proceed to INTERNET->TRAFFIC, and select how often you would like to
be notified by SMS and/or E-Mail for an updated total of your calendar month’s
data consumption.You can also specify which kind of data to keep track of (down-
loaded only, or downloaded and uploaded; depending on your mobile broadband
subscription terms).

SMS Remote Control

the router, then you’ll be able to employ this feature to remotely control the router
from your mobile phone. A short text command can be sent from your phone to
administer any of these tasks instantly.The configuration allows an unlimited range
of authorized mobile phone numbers to be inserted into the list.
