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(AccessPointName)
. 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

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.

Internet access, depending on which type of USB modem you have
inserted into the UMR.

The Dovado UMR has a built-in firewall. In this section you will learn
more about this and other security features.
Besides password protecting the UMR configuration pages it is possible
to restrict the Wireless LAN devices that may access your private network
and the public Internet through the UMR. You can use encryption
and/or MAC address filtering in order to achieve this.
With encryption you can choose a key, which then all Wireless LAN
clients need to know in order to access your private network through
the UMR. These settings are found in
WLAN->Authentication
.
With
MAC address filtering
you can enter the MAC address of each
client that you want to grant access to your private network. This
address is physically linked to the network card in each client. These
settings are found in
WLAN->MAC Address Control
.
