Connect to Network
. The Connect to Network page is used to setup and configure Network Connections for any computer
that is connected to the BGAN terminal.
NOTE
Before attempting a connection, ensure that the terminal is
Registered. Refer to
To activate a Network Connection, go to the bottom of the page. Look for the Context Identifier, Local IP address,
APN Name, Requested QoS, Username and Password fields.
CID
: The Context Identifier of each context is automatic by default. Automatic is the preferred setting for most uses.
Use the CID when managing multiple contexts, either by a single computer or multiple computers connected.
Local IP Address
: This is the local IP address of the computer to be setup with a Network Connection. The default
IP address octets are entered by default from the setup screen. Enter the correct IP address of the connected
computer, as only IP data from this IP address will be sent across this context.
To find the IP address of a computer,
a.
Open a command window (select
Start > Run
, type
cmd
, and select
OK
).
b.
Type
ipconfig
in the command window.
c.
Press
Enter
.
Requested QoS
: Use the drop down list to see all of the different QoS types: background, streaming 32 k, streaming
64 k, streaming 128 k, and streaming 256 k. Select the appropriate QoS required for the Network Connection being
set up.
APN Name
: This field is configurable, but it will always show the default APN that has been provisioned on the
USIM. The first character must be a-z, A-Z, or 0-9, same for the first character but the subsequent characters must
be alphanumeric or “.” or “-”. If the USIM has been provisioned with multiple APN's, type in any of these secondary
APN names as part of the Network Connection setup. Consult with your BGAN service provider to understand the
conditions under which each APN is appropriate.
APN Username
and
Password
: The APN Username and Password may be required for authorization to the
network. The first character must be a-z, A-Z, or 0-9, but the subsequent characters can be anything. The length is
actually 19 characters. Additionally, the APN Username and Password can be used to ensure a static public Satellite
IP Address is received from the network. The APN Username and Password fields are case-sensitive.
4.4.3.1
Activating a Network Connection
In order for a user to be able to transfer data across a network, a Network Connection must be activated in the
Terminal and associated Core Network. To activate a Network Connection, do the following:
a.
Enter an unused Context Identifier number into this field, where the default CID is - which uses the first
available context.
b.
Enter the IP Address of the specific computer which will be used with this Network Connection. Only
packets with this IP address will be sent across this Network Connection.
c.
Select the QoS that is needed by selecting it from the drop down list.
