7.5.2 Using Separate APNs for Data and Management Traffic
Multiple APN Access allows a cellular device to open data sessions with two or more APNs, and then
send data through the APNs simultaneously. If your cellular service provider supports Multiple APN
Access, the Zyxel Device can use this feature to segregate cellular traffic.
Follow the steps below to configure the Zyxel Device to use separate APNs for data and management
traffic.
1 At Network Setting > Broadband > Cellular WAN > Cellular APN, ensure that the Zyxel Device is
connected to two data-enabled APNs. If your cellular service provider supports this feature, the Zyxel
Device will connect to two APNs automatically.
Authentication Type Select the type of authentication method peers use to connect to the Zyxel Device
in cellular connections.
In Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) peers identify themselves with a user
name and password. In Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
additionally to user name and password the Zyxel Device sends regular challenges
to make sure an intruder has not replaced a peer. Otherwise select PAP/CHAP or
None.
PDP Type Select IPv4 if you want the Zyxel Device to run IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4
addressing system) only.
Select IPv4/IPv6 if you want the Zyxel Device to run both IPv4 and IPv6 (Internet
Protocol version 4 and 6 addressing system) at the same time.
IP Passthrough Select IPv4 if your want the Zyxel Device to run IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4
addressing system) only.
Select IPv6 if you want the Zyxel Device to run IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6
addressing system) only.
Select IPv4/IPv6 if you want the Zyxel Device to run both IPv4 and IPv6 (Internet
Protocol version 4 and 6 addressing system) at the same time.
Static Gateway Enable Disable this to use static gateway. Otherwise, click this to enable ( ) to use the IP
Passthough mode and enter the below fields.
Note: This field will show upon enabling IP Passthrough in the previous field.
Subnet Mask Prefix Enter the subnet mask prefix of your gateway. A subnet mask prefix is another form
to present a subnet mask. Convert a subnet mask address into binary. Count the
“1”s in the subnet mask. “/” +
the number of “1”s would be the subnet mask prefix. For example, the prefix of the
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is “/24”.
Note: This field will show upon enabling IP Passthrough in the previous field.
DHCP Lease Time This field allows you to set the DHCP lease time.
DHCP server leases an address to a new device for a period of time, called the
DHCP lease time.
Note: This field will show upon enabling IP Passthrough in the previous field.
