• Standard data connection: All users that have signed on the network
share the bandwidth available. This type of connection is ideal for
TCP/IP traffic such as e-mail, file transfer, and Internet and intranet
access. Standard data services are charged by the volume of data
transferred.
• Streaming data connection: You get a guaranteed, high-priority
connection, ensuring seamless transfer of data with guaranteed bit rate
and Quality of Service. This type of connection is ideal for time-critical
applications like live video over IP. Streaming classes are charged by the
time the service is being used (per minute charge).
The system administrator can set up various types of connections using
network user groups, profiles and traffic flow filters. For information on this
see the AVIATOR 700 Installation and maintenance manual.
Data sessions available for the current user are displayed under PROFILES
ON LAN or STREAMING PROFILES ON LAN at the bottom of the
Dashboard.
The AVIATOR 700 system supports the use of network user groups. These
network user groups define which type of IP connections are allowed for
each group. Each network user group has then one or more profiles for
various applications. You can only see, start and stop profiles of the network
user group you belong to.
You must always close the Streaming connection manually to
finish the connection properly. You must click Stop
streaming in the web interface to close the streaming
connection. It is not enough to disconnect the equipment. As
long as the connection is active you are charged for the
service.
The system administrator can start and stop data sessions for all
network user groups, see also Start or stop any data session on
page 179.
