be updated. Frequent updates are needed if the IP-address behind the hostname changes often.
Allowed Clients
: The router will only allow access for clients visible in the Client Access List. To
put a client in the list, enter the corresponding IP-address or Hostname (For instance 217.65.34.12
or myhost.dyndns.org) in the Host/IP-field and click Add to list. Repeat the procedure in order to
grant more clients access. Access can be granted from anywhere on the Internet by marking "Any
Host" and pressing "Add to List".
Here you can give permission on which interfaces it is allowed to access the router. It is possible to
access the router on both the Direct and the PPTP interface
Show Mapping
: Displays the router's view of IP-addresses associated with hostnames in the
"Client Access List".
All changes will take effect upon restart of the router
GPS API
The router uses a software called gpsd (version 2.39) which has a API on TCP port
2947. For more info about the gpsd API please visit http://catb.org/gpsd/
3.10.3 Network Settings
Here you can alter ICMP settings for the Internet connection.
ICMP Settings
If enabling "Drop Ping requests" the router will not respond to incoming ICMP packets such as ping
request.
3.10.4 NTP
Dovado routers synchronize their clocks via NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers located out on
the Internet. The synchronization occurs upon each new connection with the Internet, be it the initial
(when powering up) or even during a redial while the router is on.
For the router to contain the accurate time zone, you may have to manually select your region/
country/city to make sure the router will be able to present you with the right time and date. By
making this selection, your router will automatically update itself whenever a time change occurs
throughout a year, depending on the time zone you’re in.
By default, the router will attempt to auto-detect the time zone when using a USB mobile broadband
modem as your primary form of Internet access. Should this fail, then select your location manually.
If you wish to use your own NTP server settings, then activate the Custom NTP option, and fill in up
to two different IP/DNS addresses of such servers.
3.10.5 E-Mail
The E-Mail sender will dispatch notifications of your consumed Internet data traffic. Enter the E-
Mail address destination along with the SMTP server you wish to use in order to send out the E-
Mails. To enable/select the Internet traffic reports, visit the
Internet->Traffic
page and select the
notification method for the chosen quota.
If you are unsure of which SMTP server settings your mail service uses, then kindly check with your
e-mail service provider. Aside from inserting the correct username and password, it is important to
confirm which SMTP port and authentication protocol you should use. After saving these settings,
click on Send Test Message to verify.
3.10.6 Log
The log shows what the router has done since powering/booting up. It may provide you a good
insight into any problems you may be facing with your mobile broadband connection. The clock
(timestamp at the beginning of each line) makes its first synchronization once the router has
connected itself to the Internet. The log file is not stored between restarts.
