RF-7800B
CONFIGURATION
The RF-7800B BGAN Terminals are configured for NAT Mode by default. The ability to Restore to Factory
Defaults is provided in the BGAN Terminal's Web Interface, and will place the terminal back to all settings
appropriate for NAT Mode.
The following is a sample configuration, modified by the Web Interface, to create BGAN network connections by a
computer when using the default NAT Mode:
a. Navigate to the Registration, GPS, Properties page of the Web Interface.
b. If Terminal Registration Status is Not Registered, select the Register with Network button.
Following up to 30 seconds, the BGAN Terminal should be registered with the BGAN Network, as
shown in the status at the top of this page.
c. Select the Connect to Network page of the Web Interface. Refer to Paragraph 4.4.3 for additional
information.
d. Select the Apply button at the bottom (using all the default properties for Context Identifier (CID),
Local IP, Quality-of-Service (QoS)=Background, Access Point Name (APN) Name, APN Username
and APN Password).
e. Wait for the status to show that the BGAN Terminal is connected with the network, where one of the
rows above is now filled in with the Global IP Address, along with other properties.
f. Use the computer to send data over the BGAN network.
4.3.2 Relay Mode
Relay mode operation allows the use of a Router directly connected to the BGAN Terminal, to serve a Local Area
Network. The router may provide Virtual Private Network (VPN) security across the BGAN network, and when
doing so, it may require a public IP address for the VPN tunnel. In this mode, the Router is configured to be a DHCP
Client, receiving its IP address from the BGAN Terminal. The BGAN Terminal will still operate and allow its Web
Interface to be accessible using its configured Ethernet IP address (e.g., http://192.168.128.100). When connected
to the BGAN Network, the BGAN Terminal will obtain a public IP address (assigned by your BGAN service
provider), and ultimately provide that public IP address to the Router. See Figure 4-2 for the Relay Mode of
operation.
