-WattmonPRO has two ways of connecting to the Internet. The built-in 10 Mbps LAN can be connected directly to a laptop or router, and is used for setup and local monitoring (but can also be used for remote monitoring if the site has an Internet connection). The USB Host port works with a selected number of USB Cellular dongles (GPRS, 3G and 4G LTE), allowing both outbound and inbound data via the Internet. Although we provide instructions on configuring your local dongle, not all of them work. Need a compatible USB dongle for remote monitoring? Use one of our Huawei dongles, the [[hardware:accessories:E3531]] or [[hardware:accessories:E3372]].+WattmonPRO has two ways of connecting to the Internet.

 Pins 16-19 are digital inputs. They are opto-isolated and can handle anywhere between 4 and 24V DC between the input pin and the DIGND pin. Pins 16-18 (DI1-DI3) can also be configured as pulse/frequency counters for measuring data from flow meters/anemometers, etc. Pins 16-19 are digital inputs.
