Chapter 4: Using the web interface
116 Managing LAN network users
5. Select the type of Internet connection.
• Router mode means the connection will be shared with other users,
and the NAT module of the terminal will make the necessary address
translations. Use this mode if one or more computers are connected
using the LAN interface, and the terminal should act as a router.
• Bridge mode is an exclusive connection, with NAT disabled. Use this
mode together with a network classification entry that selects a single
computer (see Using the network classification table on page 121). This
mode is not available in the Default user group.
• No internet access means no connection to the Internet is allowed. Use
this setting e.g. for IP handsets, where an Internet connection is not
required. The external voice connection is still available; this setting
only affects communication over the Internet.
6. Select Dynamic IP address.
This is the IP address used externally on the satellite network.
If you want to use a static IP address, and your subscription allows it, you
must still leave this setting at Dynamic. Then select SIM default in step 8
and type in the APN user name and password from your provider in step 9.
Your terminal will then use the static IP address set up for your SIM card.
7. Set IP Header compression to Enabled or Disabled.
For information on IP Header compression, see Header compression on
page 124.
8. Select the source of the APN (Access Point Name).
There are four options for setting the APN. Unless you have special
requirements, it is recommended to use the SIM default, or to set the
common APN to SIM default, and then select Common here. You have the
following options:
• Common. The APN is taken from the Common APN defined under
SETTINGS > Common. Refer to Setting the common interface settings
on page 95.
Note
Typing in a static IP address is currently not supported by the
BGAN network.
