your mobile service provider.

Dual APN: Our 3G/4G router provides your either Single APN(one WAN IP) or Dual APN (dual

WAN IP) to meet users’ different demands. Enter corresponding APN(s) from your service

providers.

APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The

service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection. Requirements for

APN assignment varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an

internet portal which they connect a DHCP Server to, giving you access to the internet i.e. Some

3G / 4G operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value of APN is “internet”.

Username: Enter the username provided by your service provider.

Password: Enter the password provided by your service provider.

Auth. Protocol: Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP

(Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which authentication type the server is using

(when acting as a client), or the authentication type you want the clients to use when tehy are

connecting to you (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted,

while CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different

periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client.

PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain

systems as a password to gain access, and authentication. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the

SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3

times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and a PUK code will be required from your

network / service provider to unlock it.

NOTE: If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times (3) in a row, your SIM card will be blocked. In this case,

please enter your PUK code (it can be supplied by your service provider) and then re-enter your PIN.

Connection:

 Always On: The router will make UMTS/GPRS call when starting up. Enabling Always On,

will give you an option of Keep Alive.

 Connect to Demand: When enabling this feature, the BEC 6800RUL will automatically

resume its Internet connection when there is a packet requesting from a local LAN device.

Keep Alive: Click to enable keep alive mechanism. User should set the Keep Alive IP to

necessiate the always on connection. The IP is used for ping operation to examine whether the

connection is still on.

Lcp echo Interval: Set the interval time(seconds), if set to 5, that means the router is allowed to

send message out every 5sec to prevent the connection being dropped by ISP.

NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet

through a single ISP account, sharing a single IP address. If users on your LAN have public IP

addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be disabled.

Obtain DNS Automatically: Select this checkbox to use DNS.

Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are

passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.

NOTE: If you are not familiar with these settings, please consult with ISP for further assistance or

information.
