Position

With help of your location coordinates, this router is capable of applying the information into use
with several applications, such as knowing what time the sun will rise and set each day when using
Home Automation.

3.7.1

Info

The router can be used as a tracking device by showing its positioning e.g. on a Google Map

TM

.

The router support 2 different types of position services:
1. USB-based GPS receiver: As new GPS devices are constantly introduced to the market, go to

http://www.dovado.com to see if your device is supported.

2. Fixed position: Allows you to manually enter your current position in the Web interface.

For detailed information, go to Position->Info and for enabling the function go to Position-
>Settings
to select the positioning method you want to use.

3.7.2

Map

The map will present the location of your router, based on the coordinates that were either
manually applied or automatically gathered from a GPS USB dongle.

3.7.3

GPS Settings

In order for certain Home Automation features to work (Sunrise/Sunset), the router needs to know
its geographic whereabouts. There are two methods available within this menu. First option is to
use a GPS USB dongle in one of the vacant USB ports on your DOVADO router. The GPS dongle
will then periodically update the location if (for instance) in a moving vehicle. The second option is
simple as it is intended for fixed environments such as a home or office. All you are required to do
is to insert the Latitude and Longitude of the router's location. For further information, visit http://

3.8.1

Info

The router can be used as a point of Home Automation which serves to remotely control power
switches with built-in radio receivers in your home. In order to get the Home Automation up and
running, three things
are needed:
1. A TellStick from Telldus Technologies plugged into a vacant USB port in the router.
2. Home automation receivers, compatible with the TellStick.
3. Configuration of the router.

When configuring your router, start by configuring Automation->Aliases for your devices. The
uniquely named receivers (aliases) can then be controlled by:
1. Sending an SMS containing short commands such as "lamp1 on".
2. Setting up a Schedule for triggering of events.
3. Manual control from the graphical user interface.
