: An external Wi-Fi adapter can be used for wireless connection to a Wi-Fi Hot Spot. Preliminary configuration When configuring DADO for the first time, you need first to establish a TCP/IP connection via ETHERNET port. Note: Download the DADO_CFG software from http://www.evco.it/assets/doc/DADO_IPCFG_setup.zip...
Run DADO_CFG software, press key “C” (never press “P”) and set the values as requested by the software, then reboot the device. Whenever the DADO must be connected to the pre-existing LAN, it is necessary to require from your IT manager the proper configuration to be used.
If all is correct, the following login page will be displayed. See the User Accounts chapter to get more information on how to login to the DADO internal web server. Check paragraph 5.6 for information on Network configuration; chapter 5.4 for the status of network settings, chapter 4.1 to see Preliminary Setup.

When IP is assigned via DHCP usually also the gateway address is automatic, but in some networks IP is dynamic while the gateway must be specified statically. DADO and PC must have their own IP address (usually only last part is different). page 16 of 34...
DADO | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144EVD2E204 Network configuration After the IP configuration is done it is necessary to complete the internet/LAN configuration, before DADO is able to connect to the CloudEvolution portal. Note: After changing the configuration, it is necessary to reboot the device.
User defined NTP (Network Time Protocol) server: address of a valid NTP server. DADO is receiving the time from the Internet. Usually it is necessary to set this field with an internal or public NTP server. For a list of public available NTP servers, consult the Internet, searching for “NTP public servers”.
DADO | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144EVD2E204 MODBUS connection DADO can be connected to EVCO devices via MODBUS protocol, the connection is usually done via RS485 serial line. It is necessary a basic knowledge about MODBUS protocol addressing and communication parameters.

Accessing devices with a MODBUS TCP master DADO offers an auxiliary function, it can act as a MODBUS TCP-MODBUS RTU bridge; every MODBUS TCP master (like a S.C.A.D.A.) can access the devices connected to the RS485 line via MODBUS TCP connection (Ethernet connection).
DADO | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144EVD2E204 WATCHDOG This feature is a redundant check on the DADO firmware/hardware internal status, usually it is not required. In case of heavily electrical disturbed environment or other problems (Ethernet conflicts, power supply instability) it may be a good to have option.
GPRS OPERATION Setting up GPRS See the paragraph 5.5 about how to connect DADO with PC. Once the connection has been established, open the “Cellular Modem” tab. APN, Authentication, user name and password depends on the kind of SIM-CARD used.
