9. USING THE NETWORK MANAGEMENT
The network management system enables the system administrator to setup differ-
ent user gro ups and manage how each prole is connected to the Inmarsat BGAN
network. The UT can support up to 11 different Network User Groups for different
types of services with their desir ed conguration and settings. Each Network User
Group has their own prole and settings su ch as QOS (Standard/Streaming) and
IP addressing (Static/Dynamic).
There are different types of connections to be chosen:
1. Shared Mode
2. Direct Mode
3. DMZ Mode
4. No Internet Access Mode
Shared Mode (Multi-user Mode)
Shared Mode is also known as Router Mode or Multi-user Mode. Routers which
operate at the Network Layer (level 3) understand routed protocols. A router
passes trafc between two logic ally separated networks whereas a bridge passes
trafc between two networks, which are logically the same. Therefore, if the inter-
face is in Router Mode, Network User Group and Network Classication will allow
connecting several PCs to LAN.
