when updating your Dynamic DNS. It uses HTTP Basic authentication to authenticate with the
server
This is an example of a Service URL: http://dyndnsprovider.com/update?
hostname=customhostname
Custom DNS:
If your operator's DNS servers are unavailable, or if you wish to use a 3rd party DNS server, then
insert the IP address of up to two different servers which the router should use. As a result, all
devices on your network will then use those specified DNS servers.
3.2.4 Connection Tracker
In order to ensure maximum Internet availability you can use the Connection Tracker feature.
When inserting a minimum of 2 unique IP addresses, these addresses will be "pinged" with an
interval that you specify in minutes in the Interval field. After entering the selected IP addresses,
you can test the ping function to these addresses by pushing the Test now button directly below the
IP address fields. The result will be shown to the right of each IP address field.
WARNING: Please note that if you are paying for bandwidth usage, activating this function will add
data consumption to your monthly bill. An approximate figure for the additional monthly data
consumption will be indicated directly to the right of the Interval field. Raising the interval value will
lower the monthly consumption.
Should your internet connection drop, you have 3 options on how the router should react:
Redial only (in WAN Ethernet mode: Reinitialize interface). Default value that attempts to
reestablish the broadband connection.
Redial and Restart (the router restarts itself after 3 failed redial attempts). Using this option, your
local area/wireless network will be unreachable for a short while during the restart of the router.
Auto fail-over to secondary interface. (WAN-to-USB or USB-to-WAN). The router is connected to
both a USB modem and a fixed broadband connection. Both of these interfaces must be properly
configured in the event of a fail-over between each other. You can check which interface is your
primary connection on the Internet->Internet Connection page.
3.2.5 Traffic
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
via the USB modem. 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.
3.2.5.1 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 calendar 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/
