3. Type in a name for the group.
4. Select Enabled or Disabled.
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 93). This mode is not available in the Default network 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. Refer to the next step for Static
IP.
7. If you want to use a static IP address, you must have it included in your airtime subscription
and use that address as follows:
• Leave the setting in step 6. at Dynamic, do not select Static IP.
• Select SIM default in step 9.
• Type in the APN user name and password from your provider in step 10.
Your terminal will then use the static IP address set up for your SIM card.
8. Set IP Header compression to Enabled or Disabled.
For information on IP Header compression, see Header compression on page 96.
9. 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 69.
• SIM default. The APN is taken from the SIM card. If you want to use a static IP address on
the external network, select this option either here or in the Common setting.
• Network assigned. The APN is assigned from the network.
• User defined. Type in the APN. APNs are provided from the Airtime Provider.
Note
Static IP is handled by the service provider. Do not type in a static IP address in the
Static IP address field; a manually typed IP address will currently not be used by the
network.
