4.3.4.2 Activating Multiple PDP Contexts
To activate multiple PDP contexts for additional computers, repeat the instructions for a single PDP context. Each
time a context is activated for a particular local IP address, it will show up in the table. See Figure 4-5.
Up to 11 computers can be connected to the BGAN terminal. More than one computer can be connected to the
Ethernet interface by using either a hub, router or a switch. When a hub is used, the BGAN terminal operating in
NAT Mode can allocate private IP addresses to each computer connected to the hub, allowing each computer to have
a dedicated primary PDP context. In this case, each computer has the ability to individually attain up to a 492 kbps
connection to the BGAN network. If a router is used, the BGAN terminal operating in Modem Mode allows a
simplified connection to the router. However, this would limit the throughput to all those computers behind the
router to a single 492 kbps connection, using a single PDP connection.
