Smart MyBro 4G WiMAX Green Packet DX-230 GUI

For my curiosity I was able to navigate the GUI (graphical user interface) of this Smart MyBro 4G WiMAX Green Packet DX-230 wireless broadband ODU (out-door-unit) CPE. The web interface is so simple and not so complex with limited menus unlike of those 4G WiMAX CPEs from Huawei Technologies that have been supplied to Globe Telecom ISP.

As you can see this is the login page of this SmartBro MyBro 4G WiMAX Green Packet DX-230 wireless broadband GUI, to be able to access the interface you have to point your fave browser to http://192.168.15.1 with the default username and password as "smart" without quote. The smart username and password has only limited privilege to user only, it can be login also via telnet and ssh to port 23 and 22 respectively.

As I have said the user account has only limited accessibility, on top menus are Status, Networking and Management. Under sub-menu of status are WiMAX Satus, Network Status and Device Status. The things that are visible on WiMAX Status namely are 

System Status: Frequency, BSID, Dev State, Uptime

Link Status: RSSI, CINR R1, CINR R3 TX Power, UL MC5, DL MC5

The Network Status are WAN and LAN such as the IP address, Netmask, Gateway, MAC address, ISP DNS.

On the Device Status you can see the Hardware model, Firmware version, Date and Serial numbers of the CPE.

The Networking main menu only have two sub-menus such as DCHP Server and DDNS, DHCP Server has only three mode this are none, server and relay. It can be also set the DNS manually such as using openDNS or Google DNS.

The DX-230 also support DDNS (dynamic DNS) that has at least six pre-installed this are www.dyndns.org, www.tzo.com, www.dhs.org, www.easydns.com, www.ods.com and www.zoneedit.com.

Similarly on the Management main menu there are only two sub-menus such as Log and Recovery.

The Recovery sub-menu are Backup, Restore and Factory Defaults. Please don't be surprised if you click the Backup sub-menu will redirect you to page error I think this is a bug or a limited to Administrator account only such as root.

The Restore sub-menu is useless because username and password "smart" is limited only to certain feature as you have seen in this screenshot, so there is nothing you can restore with this function.

In addition, the MyBro DX-230 CPE out-door-unit does not support VoIP just like the legacy SmartBro Motorola Canopy Antenna fixed wireless internet broadband.

Lastly, the Factory Default sub-menu will only reset the SmartBro MyBro 4G WiMAX broadband wireless router modem from Green Packet Technology model DX-230 CPE out-door-unit to its original setting.

This will be my next project to dump the firmware of DX-230 CPE via hardware since there is no leak yet on the net to the Administrator privilege such as root and admin username password.
