6.6 LAN/WLAN network users
6.6.1 Introduction
With the built-in router functionality the system offers a flexible use of the data channel of
the BGAN service. You can configure the use of the data channel by defining network user
groups and profiles. The following picture gives an overview of the parameters involved.
Figure 6-42: Overview over network user groups and traffic flow filters
The network user group you belong to is determined by one or more of the following:
• the IP address of the device you are using
• the MAC address of the device you are using
• the LAN port you connect to
A connected IP device will automatically be assigned to the default network user group, if it
is not specified otherwise.
For specific purposes like video streaming, a server on the network, a fixed IP address on the
connected device or changing the startup mode of a connection, you must set up network
groups with specific primary and/or secondary profiles. How to do this is described in the
following sections.
Network user groups
The network management system divides the users of the SBU into network user groups.
Each network user group has a profile which determines how the users connect to the
Inmarsat BGAN network. The network user groups can allow or restrict certain services for
different users.
For example, you may want to define:
• one network user group allowing both Standard and Streaming connections,
• one network user group for Internet, e-mail and VPN, allowing Standard connections,
• one network user group for Remote management of systems. This would be a direct
Standard connec
tion (Bridge mode).
You can have up to 11 network user groups and global IP addresses.
Necessary steps when managing network users
The steps necessary for managing network users include:
1. Defining a netw
ork user group. See Set up the network user groups on page 6-59.
The network user groups determine settings such as:
•
