one or more computers are connected using the LAN interface, and the terminal should
act as a router.
• No Internet access means no connection to the Internet is allowed. Use this setting
e.g. if you are going to use Group 0 to establish a Bridge mode connection.
5. Select Dynamic IP address.
This is the IP address used externally on the satellite network. Refer to the next step for
Static IP.
6. 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 5. at Dynamic. Do not select Static IP.
• Select SIM default in step 8.
• Type in the APN user name and password from your provider in step 9.
Your terminal will then use the static IP address set up for your SIM card.
7. Set IP Header compression to Enabled or Disabled.
For information on IP Header compression, see Header compression on page 77.
8. 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 81.
• 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.
9. If your APN uses a password, type in the user name and password provided from the
Airtime Provider.
10. At Automatic activation select whether the connection should be activated
automatically or manually.
• Disabled means you can activate/deactivate the connection from the Dashboard. This
setting is used by default for the Default user group.
• Enabled means the connection is activated automatically as soon as the system is
ready.
11. Click Apply.
12. Reboot the terminal for the changes to take effect.
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.
If you are going to use the static IP address from your SIM card, the user name
and password are mandatory! See step 6. above.
