Chapter 2. Important notes
•
By security reasons, we do recommend to
change the web user inteface login
and
password
as soon as you can.
•
The
IPv6 protocol
is disabled for the LAN interface by default, change it if you want to use
it instead of the IPv4 protocol. Use the
Network / Interfaces
menu
LAN
interface and the
IPv6 relevant fields.
•
The DHCP service is active, therefore the device will giving IP addresses for the connected
devices, but the protocol which is used, configured for static IP addresses for the ethernet
interfaces. If you want to use and distribute IP addresses by DHCP, change its protocol to
DHCP client. You can change its settings in the Network / DHCP and DNS settings menu or
in the
Network
/
Interfaces
menu,
LAN
interface and
DHCP
section.
•
The
Firewall
service is active by default (by security reasons), therefore all communication
is disabled excluding the used ethernet, DHCP, DNS and WAN channels, web port and the
necessary services and ports for normal operation for the modem.
•
We recommend you to disable all ports and protocols in the firewall which you are not using
actively or which are not necessary to the connection and data transmitting by respecting
the ports which are necessary for the general operation. Use to check
Status
/
Firewall
menu to check the data throughput and the
Network / Firewall
to configure new roles.
•
The
firewall is not protecting the device against external network or DoS attacks
,
if you just enable the firewall feature. For a massive and advanced safety, you have to
customize the settings by harmonized with you used current network and connection
settings.
•
We offer to
check the network traffic
on your modem frequently by the
Status /
Firewall
menu option to be ensured that all of your connections and active communication
channels (port number, incoming IP) are using only the wanted paths and routes and
listening the defined incoming activities and consequently occuring the estimated output
traffic.
•
We offer to
measure your throughput data and network traffic
(by minutes, hours)
–
use the
Status / Realtime Graphs
or
Statistics / Graphs
and calculate the estimable
data transmitting amount according your expectations and the data limits of the used SIM
card.
•
By default, the modem has an installed OpenWRT
®
operating system which is ready to use
and configure to your SIM card APN and for you usage requirements.
